Amend 11 - Notice of Intent to Award Port of Toledo ADVs 2025.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by the Port of Newport, Oregon, for the disposal of up to 17 abandoned and derelict vessels (ADVs) in 2025. The Port of Newport intends to award the contract to the Port of Toledo at a bid amount of $354,200.00. The project originally identified three vessels as immediate priority—BUSTER, ECLIPSE, and SEA WOLF—with a deadline for removal by November 30, 2025. However, due to an emergency with the ECLIPSE vessel, salvage of that vessel has been removed from the project scope, reducing the number of vessels to be disposed from the original scope. Work is scheduled to commence after November 1, 2025, and be completed prior to June 1, 2026. The appeal period for this award decision is seven days, with appeals required to be received prior to 5:00 PM on January 28th, 2024.

The contract award is contingent upon acceptance of an agreement with the Oregon Department of State Lands for reimbursement by the Port of Newport Commission, indicating that the project is funded through state grant revenue. The Port reserves the right to modify the vessel disposal process and may allow the contractor to assume ownership of vessel parts to reduce costs. All contractors must maintain business liability insurance with a minimum $2,000,000 coverage and comply with all local, state, and federal permits, as well as OR-OSHA and OSHA safety requirements. The project is supported by the BoatUS Foundation's Abandoned and Derelict Vessel Program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program.
