About this file

This is a Responsibility Inquiry form issued by the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Procurement Services for the State of Oregon, specifically related to the Chemical Treatment of Aquatic Invasive Plant Ludwigia at Palensky Wildlife Area contract managed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). The form requires proposers to demonstrate their capability to perform the contract through documented responses to eight inquiry sections covering financial resources, personnel expertise, contract performance history, criminal and civil charges, contract terminations, outstanding judgments, financial distress indicators, bankruptcy filings, and required licenses and authorizations to conduct business in Oregon. The Invitation to Bid was issued on February 4, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for April 2, 2025, at 11:00 AM and bids due by April 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM PT. The contract involves six semi-annual spray treatments of approximately 55 acres at Palensky Wildlife Area from 2025 through 2027, with treatments scheduled in mid-July and September each year. The ODFW will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements.

The form requires prospective contractors to provide detailed financial documentation including profit-and-loss history, current balance statements, cash flow information, assets-to-liabilities ratios, bonding capacity, and evidence of insurability. Within the last five years, proposers must disclose the number of similar contracts completed within time and budget parameters without claims, as well as any contracts that did not meet those standards. The form also requires disclosure of any criminal or civil charges, contract terminations for default, lawsuits, outstanding judgments, financial distress, bankruptcy filings, or lack of required licenses within specified timeframes. A current Pay Equity Certificate issued by DAS is required if the proposer employs 50 or more full-time workers and the prospective contract price exceeds $500,000, unless the contract involves architectural, engineering, photogrammetric mapping, transportation planning, or land surveying services. Failure to promptly provide requested documentation or clearly demonstrate responsibility may result in an Agency finding of non-responsibility and rejection of the proposal.
