PUBLIC NOTICE.docx

This is a Public Notice document from Portland Community College announcing its intent to enter into a contract through permissive cooperative procurement with Incline Alchemy Inc. for Workday Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation services. The College is leveraging a contract established by Southern Oregon University through their competitive Request for Proposal #2022-22, which was issued on March 21, 2022, and conducted as an open and impartial competitive process using competitive sealed proposals in accordance with ORS 279B.060. The estimated total contract value is $10,300,000, with a contract term extending through December 31, 2028. The deadline for submission of comments regarding this notice of intent is 5:00 PM on January 17, 2024, with all comments to be directed to contracts@pcc.edu.

The procurement follows Oregon Community College Rule CCR.205 and ORS 279A.200 to 279A.225, which permit colleges to utilize cooperative procurement agreements established through competitive solicitation processes conducted by other public entities. This permissive cooperative procurement approach allows Portland Community College to benefit from Southern Oregon University's prior competitive evaluation and contract award without conducting a separate solicitation. The original solicitation and award process conducted by Southern Oregon University satisfied all competitive procurement requirements, providing the legal foundation for the College's intent to establish this contract or multiple contracts with the selected vendor.
