C2026317_IndustrialSymbiosis_Notice to Extend_02July2026.pdf

This is an addendum to a Request for Proposals issued by the Oregon Business Development Department (OBDD) for Industrial Symbiosis Technical Assistance. The addendum extends the proposal submission deadline from July 6, 2026 to July 8, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The project involves providing technical assistance to four pilot communities—COR Disposal, LLC, Clatsop County, Klamath County, and the Port of Morrow—to facilitate industrial symbiosis projects and develop regional and statewide strategies. Key deliverables include stakeholder engagement, feasibility evaluation and risk identification, industrial symbiosis project development, strategic analysis and policy recommendations, and a final report with community-specific project concepts and engineering and cost feasibility studies for at least one priority capital project in each pilot community. All deliverables must be completed by June 30, 2027. The Notice of Intent to Award is anticipated for July 17, 2026, followed by a seven-calendar-day protest period. The contract is structured as an initial one-year term with OBDD's option to amend for additional one-year increments up to a maximum of ten years for reasonably related services.

The proposed budget is $900,000, with the price proposal required to include separate line items for personnel, travel, supplies, other costs, and administrative and overhead charges, with equal allocation among the four pilot communities unless otherwise directed by OBDD. Proposers must register in OregonBuys, hold at least three years of experience with industrial symbiosis activities, maintain licensure to do business in Oregon, and demonstrate experience working with Oregon communities, identifying regulatory barriers, and developing public-private partnerships. Evaluation criteria include work plan (40 points), experience and qualifications (30 points), project timeline (15 points), key persons and resumes (5 points), and price proposal (10 points). Proposals must be submitted electronically through OregonBuys with an 8-page limit for substantive content, exclusive of required attachments and certifications.
