About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to a state and local contract opportunity issued by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for the Lower Deschutes Wildlife Area Shrub Grow-out and Planting project. The scope of work includes the collection of seed, growing plugs of specified native shrub species, and planting those plugs within the Lower Deschutes Wildlife Area. The target quantities include 7,500 Bitterbrush plugs, 15,000 Sagebrush plugs, and 2,500 Winterfat plugs. Proposals are due by August 14, 2024 at 3:00 PM. The contract will require prevailing wages, but not BOLI. The project sites are accessible by 4WD vehicles, side-by-sides, and ATVs, with some areas requiring the use of ATVs for the final planting. Alternative seed sources may be allowed for Bitterbrush and Winterfat due to availability constraints.
The contract will be awarded as an intermediate procurement under OAR 125-247-270. Pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding sources, and amounts were not provided in the information given. The contract will be awarded by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

S-63500-00010845 Natural Working Lands: Lower Deschutes Wildlife Area Shrub Grow-out and Planting Questions and Answers
1. Could you please confirm RFP due date? There are conflicting dates within the solicitation.
The due date for the proposals is Wednesday, August 14, 2024, 3:00 PM
2. Will prevailing wages be required for this project?
Yes. But no BOLI
3. Is there 4wd vehicle/ATV access to all the sites? If not, how close can one get before needing to walk?
Yes, all of the polygons are accessible by 4wd vehicles, side by sides, and ATVs. Most of the planting areas have a road that they will be able to drive a truck up close to it and then it will probably be easier to use four wheelers and ATVs to go from there. Attached is a KML file so they can get a better idea of accessibility if they want to look on google earth. The four polygons to the south on the west side of the river are accessible off Tygh Ridge Road and you will drive in from up top. There is a rough road that goes out to each of these polygons on top of the ridge. The two further north polygons on the east side of the river you will get to by driving the access road along the river from the mouth. This access road is in good condition and is easily accessible with a truck. ATVs and side by sides will be helpful for planting once you reach these polygons on the road.
4. Will alternative seed sources be allowed for the Bitterbrush and Winterfat?
Bitterbrush seed is no longer available to collect in 2024, and will not be ready in 2025, to grow a fully rooted 10 ci plug. Unless Winterfat has been planted within the LDWA, it would not occur there naturally, therefore one would need to use other sources of parent material.
The Sagebrush will not be a problem, to collect from the site and have a fully rooted 10 ci plug for fall 2025 install.
5. Could you clarify the scientific names of the desired species?
Scientific names and associated numbers:
Purshia tridentata-7500 Artemisia tridentata- 15,000 Krascheninnikovia lanata- 2500
