Notice of Intent to Purchase Replacement U161.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Purchase issued by Clean Water Services, an Oregon public entity and member of the Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program. The District intends to procure a 2025 Freightliner 108SD Plus Jetter chassis from Premier Truck Group of Portland, sourced through State of Oregon Price Agreement No. 4663 (formerly Agreement No. 1640), which was awarded under Invitation to Bid No. DASPS-2295-20. The notice provides prospective vendors an opportunity to submit written comments on the District's purchasing intent no later than September 27, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., with submissions directed to Heidi Blasingame, Procurement Coordinator, at 2550 SW Hillsboro Highway, Hillsboro, Oregon 97123.

The total project cost for the replacement equipment is $409,401, comprised of $111,542 for the truck chassis and cab, and $297,859 for outfitting and installation of a Ramjet truck-mounted sewer cleaner system by Owen Equipment. The procurement leverages an existing state price agreement, allowing the District to make this purchase as an authorized cooperative procurement member without conducting a separate competitive bidding process. This procurement method represents a streamlined purchasing approach under Oregon's cooperative procurement framework, enabling cost-effective acquisition of specialized equipment through pre-negotiated state contracts.
