Addenda 2b.pdf

This is Addendum No. 2b from the Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District (UFSWQD) in Portland, Oregon for RFP #S-Q10054-00012235 regarding a Watershed Implementation Plan. The addendum contains a Q&A summary addressing bidder questions about proposal requirements, with proposals due January 28, 2025 at 4:00 PM PT. Key clarifications include that the project scope is limited to the Columbia Slough Watershed, ongoing projects can be used as work examples, and resumes can be included as appendices. The evaluation committee will include UFSWQD staff from multiple departments and a local government partner representative.

The addendum specifies that UFSWQD will provide substantial resources to support the project, including staff time, meeting venues, data access (drainage master plans, stormwater models, asset assessments, monitoring data), and assistance securing necessary data from public/private partners. Labor rates will follow Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments for this multi-year project. The district will maintain final decision-making authority on plan recommendations while considering feedback from internal and external stakeholders. There are no conflicts of interest restrictions for consultants to pursue subsequent projects identified through this planning process.
