SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Oregon State Marine Board, in partnership with the NOAA Marine Debris Program, solicited applications from certified “Clean Marina” moorage facilities throughout the state to have abandoned vessels removed from their facilities and disposed of in an environmentally protective manner. This RFQ is a result of one such application for removal of vessels from the Port of Newport’s South Beach Marina at 2120 SE Marine Science Dr, Newport, OR 97365.

The State of Oregon, acting by and through the Oregon State Marine Board, (“Agency”), is issuing this Request for Quote for the removal and disposal of the selected vessels described in the SCOPE OF SERVICES and ATTACHMENT B LOCATION AND VESSEL DESCRIPTIONS.

Agency anticipates the award of one Contract from this solicitation.

1.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES

There are 12 vessels in question which are currently moored within South Beach Marina.

A photograph of each vessel and associated location and notable details are provided (See ATTACHMENT B). It is not known how much, if any, oils, fuels, sewage or other pollutants may be on board.

The project involves towing each vessel out of the marina, removing each vessel from the water, transporting to an appropriate site provided by the contractor, dismantling the vessel in an environmentally appropriate manner, and recycling and/or disposing of waste materials at approved locations. The Offeror will provide photographs of each vessel in every phase of the contract to the AGENCY upon request.

Work shall be completed in the manner specified in the Offeror’s approved Quote.

Offeror will provide all labor, equipment, safety equipment, training and transportation necessary to complete the work specified. Any suspension of work for more than 48 hours must be approved in writing by AGENCY.

Vessels in the water shall be removed from the water in a manner that reduces or minimizes impacts to the environment and recreational and commercial boating. Offeror will contain and remove all debris and materials associated with the vessels. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to comply with all state, federal and local laws, rules, guidelines and policies for removal of vessels that may contain pollutants or hazardous materials that can impact the environment. Offeror may keep, salvage or sell any parts from the vessels; however, the value of any parts kept or the proceeds from any parts sold must be itemized and will be subtracted from the amount paid by AGENCY to the Offeror. The removal, demolition, and disposal are to be completed by July 30, 2021 unless extended by AGENCY in writing. Offeror will notify Agency of project completion. Agency or the contracted law enforcement agency in the county where the vessels are located may perform a site inspection within 10 calendar days of notification to complete a visual reconnaissance that the vessels have been properly demolished. Agency will use the visual inspection and documentation provided by Offeror to determine that the requirements of the Contract have been completed and that final payment can be made.

Offeror’s failure to deliver the deliverables in accordance with the requirements of the Contract is a material breach of the Contract.

Offeror is cautioned that cost information generally is not considered a trade secret under Oregon Public Records Law (ORS 192.311 through 192.478) and identifying the Offer, in whole, as exempt from disclosure is not acceptable. Agency advises each Offeror to consult with its own legal counsel regarding disclosure issues.
