About this file

This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) from the Oregon State Police (OSP) for equipment procurement at their Bend office in Deschutes County. The OSP is soliciting quotes for one Rotary brand R146RP Super Swingarm Pro Max tire changer with an assist arm, tire lift, and storage shelves, including delivery and installation at the Bend location. Quotes were due by 3:00 PM PST on November 18, 2021. The procurement allows for alternate quotes on products meeting or exceeding minimum specifications, with the agency reserving the right to determine product equivalency. The RFQ evaluation will be based on "Best Value" criteria, considering vendor experience, expertise, references, availability, and resource capacity in addition to price. The estimated total procurement cost is $8,500.

The procurement is subject to Oregon's Executive Order 21-29, which mandates COVID-19 vaccination compliance for state contractors performing on-site work, requiring vendors to collect and maintain proof of vaccination or approved exceptions for all workers. Vendors must submit a Vaccination Compliance Form and adhere to Oregon Standard Terms and Conditions governing the purchase. The contract will be awarded in the form of a Purchase Order. The agency noted existing expertise with Rotary products as a key factor in the brand name determination, with a preference for vendors having authorized service technicians nearby. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned, and no incumbent vendor was identified in the documentation.

Why: Follow-up to Citizens requests and 2011 Master Plan lack of implementation

Highest marks to planting and gathering area

Middling to Low for specific uses like horseshoes, dog park, ball field

Yachats citizens are generous! 35% are willing to donate (a few conditionally)

Yachats citizens are creative. Suggestions include bocce (vs horseshoes), pickleball, tennis, wiffle ball, parking, community gardens, more dog waste receptacles

Dog park and ball field scores varied between ranking and total item scores

Little difference between full-time and 2nd homeowners.

Comparison

Current Thinking

Emphasize general use versus specific uses

Add texture via plantings and elevation variation (berms)

◦ Incorporate native plantings

◦ Use broadleaf evergreen trees of limited size

Create bermed open space for gatherings, music, and informal presentations near pavilion

Vegetation might mitigate wind and odor.

“Friends of” to evaluate hardcourt, dog park, bocce ball opportunities

Design Principles to Consider*

Ecologically and Environmentally Sound

◦ Natural diversity to withstand climate change

Species appropriate to site including water, wind and sun

◦ “Of the place”

◦ Plants that reflect the environment and attract wildlife

Visually Rich

◦ A suitable level of complexity in plants and paths

◦ Make use of movement and aroma

Dynamic: varies with the seasons

◦ Plants will ebb and flow, flower naturally

◦ “Landscapes are four dimensional”

◦ Does not preclude pruning and maintenance

*Darrel Morrison

Specific Concerns

Safety and Security

◦ Bench and Table “dividers”

◦ New Oregon Statue re. homeless camping

Maintenance: 2 – 3 years of weeding and care. Less after plants established

◦ There will still be areas of lawn

◦ Current “Lawn” requires maintenance

Questionable if area was naturally flat
