BID Addendum 2~1.pdf

This Bid Addendum 2 document pertains to RFP No. 223069 issued by the City of Salem, Oregon, Contracts and Procurement Division, in conjunction with Marion County, for the procurement of on-call historical research and historic preservation services. The RFP seeks to establish a roster of up to three Consultants of Record (COR) who will provide specialized historical and preservation consulting services on a project-by-project basis. Services will include historical research methodologies and preservation techniques delivered by qualified consulting firms. The proposal submission deadline was June 17, 2022, at 4:00 PM local time, with electronic submission required through Equity Hub's Bid Locker. Selected consultants will be awarded renewable annual contracts with a maximum annual contract value of $100,000 per consultant, with individual project limits capped at $25,000. The contracts are structured with an initial one-year term and the potential for up to four additional one-year renewal periods, allowing for flexible, long-term service provision.

Pricing will be negotiated on an hourly rate schedule basis, with provisions for incremental annual adjustments indexed to the Consumer Price Index. The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Evaluation criteria emphasize firm qualifications, relevant experience, work product quality, proposed rates, and professional references. The City has identified five specific firms as potential awardees: Architectural Resources Group, Historical Research Associates, Lineage and Lore, Peter Meijer Architect, and Willamette Heritage Center. The City retains discretion to select the most qualified consultant for individual projects and reserves the right to procure services through alternative methods if necessary, ensuring flexibility in vendor selection and procurement strategy.
