This is an Intent to Award Notice from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for Bid Solicitation S-66000-00013333. The solicitation sought proposals for Oblique Aerial Photography services to improve decision support capabilities along the Oregon Shore. The project involves capturing high-resolution oblique imagery of the Oregon outer coast, including shorelines from the Columbia River to the Oregon/California border, specific estuaries, and offshore rocky habitats using a 40-megapixel camera with a minimum flight altitude of 2,000 feet above ground level and a ground sample distance of approximately 3 inches. The pre-offer conference was held on October 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with proposals due on November 17, 2025, at 5:00 PM. Photography services are scheduled to be conducted between December 2025 and June 2026, with potential project completion extension to December 31, 2026. Evaluation was based on a 100-point scale comprising 5 points for cover letter, 80 points for written proposal, and 15 points for cost. Sky Horse LLC received the highest evaluation score and is identified as the apparent successful offeror.

The project budget is estimated between $180,000 and $220,000, with payments made only for completed and accepted deliverables. The solicitation encouraged participation from small businesses certified by the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID), including minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses, requiring submission of a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan. Contractors must meet comprehensive responsibility criteria, including financial stability, legal standing, and performance history, and maintain specific insurance coverages including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, professional liability, aircraft liability, and pollution liability insurance. The project is funded by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grant, which requires NOAA's review and approval of the contract and budget. Funding is contingent on receiving sufficient appropriations and expenditure authority.
