The Project includes approximately 380 curb ramps in various cities in Douglas, Coos, and Curry Counties.

The POR firm will be eligible to propose to perform CA/CEI Services for the construction phase of the Project. Final plans are available for all potential proposers to review and can be found under the Attachment tab of this solicitation in Oregon Buys.

Agency reserves the right to modify the Services as necessary to meet Agency needs. Project PS&E is currently planned for 12/17/26. The WOC is anticipated to start following Project Bid and is expected to be completed by Summer 2029.

Proposers responding to this Mini-RFP do so solely at their expense. Agency is not responsible for any Proposer expenses associated with this Mini-RFP.

The selected Proposer and Agency will negotiate the delivery schedule, costs and final Statement of Work, within the scope of what is advertised here, for inclusion in the final WOC. Pending successful negotiations, the selected Proposer shall perform its obligations according to the WOC and applicable terms and conditions of the parent PA and exhibits thereto.

1.3 DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (“DBE”)

On October 3, 2025 the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) issued an interim final rule modifying the certification, compliance and reporting requirements of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program (DBE IFR). The DBE IFR was published in the Federal Register and took effect on October 3, 2025 (90 Fed Reg 47,969 (2025)). The DBE IFR requires the eligibility of all DBE certified firms to be reevaluated on an individualized basis, without reliance on race- or sex-based presumptions of disadvantage. The Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (“COBID”) administers the Unified Certification Program (“UCP”)for the State of Oregon and is responsible for performing the reevaluations and certifications of businesses that are certified under the DBE program. Pursuant to the DBE IFR, until the reevaluation process is completed, ODOT may not update its overall goal, set any contract DBE goals on federally funded projects or count any DBE participation toward DBE goals. In accordance with the DBE IFR, ODOT’s DBE requirements that were applicable to federally funded projects prior to the 10/03/2025 effective date of the rule are no longer in effect, and the DBE goal, reporting and compliance requirements set forth in this Contract are hereby suspended. Consultant acknowledges that the DBE goal and contractual requirements may be reinstated or modified for purposes of compliance with federal law as the DBE IFR is implemented.

Proposer acknowledges and agrees that if awarded the prospective WOC, it will cooperate in processing any contractual modifications ODOT deems necessary or appropriate to effectuate the DBE Program requirements that may result from the DBE IFR implementation or future modifications to the DBE Program and corresponding regulations.

All inquiries regarding this procurement, whether relating to the Mini-RFP process, administration, deadlines, award, potential COI issues, or to the intent or technical aspects of the Services must be submitted in writing via e-mail to the Purchaser.

Agency answers to questions received by the Purchaser will be posted in OregonBuys to ensure that all Proposers base their Proposals on the same information. Agency answers to questions will provide clarifications and interpretations but will not change Mini-RFP or contract requirements, unless an Addendum is issued (see section 1.4.2, below).

1.4.2 ADDENDA

Changes or modifications to this Mini-RFP will be binding on Agency only if in the form of official Addenda issued by the Agency and published on OregonBuys in the Bid Solicitation Attachments section for this Mini-RFP.

1.5 PUBLIC RECORDS

After the evaluation/selection and negotiation process is complete, Proposals will be open to public inspection in accordance with ORS 279C.107. If a Proposal contains any information that may be considered exempt from disclosure under the various grounds specified in Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311 through 192.478, the Proposer must clearly designate the portions of its Proposal that Proposer claims are exempt from disclosure, along with a justification and citation to the authority relied upon. Proposer must also submit a second version of the Proposal with the text claimed as exempt from disclosure redacted. Application of the Oregon Public Records Law shall determine whether any information is actually exempt from disclosure. Identifying the Proposal in whole as exempt from disclosure is not acceptable. If Proposer fails to identify the portions of the Proposal that Proposer claims are exempt from disclosure and the authority used to substantiate that claim, Proposer is deemed to waive any future claim for non-disclosure of that information.

SECTION 2.0 PROPOSAL AND SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Unless otherwise provided in this Mini-RFP, by submitting a Proposal, each Proposer agrees to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of the Proposer’s existing PA, as amended. Any Proposal conditioned on Agency’s acceptance of terms and conditions other than those set forth in the existing PA and the requirements specified in this Mini-RFP (as they may be revised by an addendum to this Mini-RFP) will be rejected as non-responsive.

The Proposal must be organized as directed herein. Any links to external information included in the Proposal and any Proposal attachments will not be considered or evaluated, unless specified in this Mini-RFP.

2.1 PASS/FAIL

Items in Section 2 marked as “PASS/FAIL” that are incomplete (except for minor informalities), not submitted by the Bid Opening Date, or are otherwise not in substantial conformance with the Mini-RFP requirements, will be rejected as non-responsive. Proposals must comply with ALL requirements marked as “PASS/FAIL” to be considered for further evaluation.

2.2 REQUIRED ITEMS AND SCORING DEDUCTIONS

Notwithstanding the scoring deductions, to be considered responsive, the Proposer must substantially comply in all material respects with applicable solicitation procedures and requirements and the solicitation documents.

· Proposals will receive a 2% scoring deduction, based upon the total available points, for each item in section 2 marked as “REQUIRED” that is incomplete (except for minor informalities). Incomplete items must be completed and submitted within 2 business days of a request by Agency. Incomplete items must be delivered to the Purchaser as identified in the request in order to provide an appropriate time stamp. Failure to complete and deliver incomplete “REQUIRED” items within 2 business days of request by Agency shall result in Proposal rejection. Time limitations will be based upon the time of the request sent by Agency and the time of the e-mail sent in response to Agency request.

· Scoring deductions are on an average score per Proposal basis and not a deduction per evaluator. For example, if a Proposer received an average score of 92 points from the evaluation committee, a 2 percent scoring deduction would result in a Proposal score of 90. (Percentage will be rounded to either the lower number if under .5% or to the higher number if .5% or over.)
