Procurement Information~26.docx

This procurement information document relates to a Request for Proposal issued by the Oregon Department of State Lands for timber pre-sale layout, tree marking, and cruising services on the Elliott State Research Forest. The project encompasses approximately 1,650 acres across Coos and Douglas Counties and includes six timber sales: Scholfield, Cougar Prey, Rob Ben, Knife Mill, Totten, and Dry John. Contractors will be responsible for up to 500 acres of individual tree marking, approximately 55 miles of harvest unit boundary delineation, and 280 acres of forest cruising. Key deliverables include precise GPS data collection with 50-foot accuracy, monthly reporting of labor hours and resource usage, and comprehensive forest boundary marking using orange paint stripes and flagging. The Request for Proposal was issued on July 30, 2025, with proposals due by August 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The contract will cover timber sale offer periods from Fall 2025 to Fall 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on the proposer's technical approach, project team experience, and cost proposal.

Contractors must provide their own labor, equipment, GPS units, and supplies, though some materials may be supplied by the Department of State Lands. Insurance requirements are substantial, including $1,000,000 in general liability, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and $1,000,000 in pollution liability, with the state listed as an additional insured. The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While specific contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project spanning multiple timber sales and nearly 1,650 acres suggests significant potential contract value.
