C2026317_IndustrialSymbiosis_Notice to Extend_08July2026~1.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 15, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The scope of work requires the selected consultant to provide 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 containing 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, with a seven-calendar-day protest period following. OBDD anticipates awarding one contract over an initial one-year term, with the option to amend the contract for additional one-year increments up to a maximum of ten years for reasonably related services, subject to budget availability.

The proposed budget for this contract is $900,000. Proposers must submit cost proposals with 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. Evaluation of proposals will be based on work plan (40 points), experience and qualifications (30 points), project timeline (15 points), key persons and resumes (5 points), and price proposal (10 points). 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. Proposals must be submitted electronically through OregonBuys with an 8-page limit for substantive content, exclusive of required attachments and certifications. The COBID Outreach Plan requires documentation of outreach efforts to certified firms, though proposers anticipating no subcontracting may submit only the first page of this requirement.
