RFP 26-0001

Addendum 001

9/30/2026 This document captures responses to questions received from 9/23/2026-9/29/2026.

Q1: For RFP 26-0001, may a prime Proposer satisfy the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board licensing and Oregon Department of Agriculture Commercial Pesticide Applicator licensing requirements identified in Section IV through an identified subcontractor and the subcontractor's licensed key supervisory personnel, subject to the District's approval of the subcontract? Or must the prime Proposer itself hold the applicable business license(s) and directly employ the required licensed personnel?

A1: The prime Proposer must itself hold an active Oregon Landscape Contracting Business (LCB) license. A prime Proposer may not satisfy the primary LCB license requirement through a subcontractor.

If the prime proposer wishes to subcontract out pesticide application, they may do so subject to District approval. A prime Proposer may satisfy chemical/pesticide application requirements by utilizing a designated, fully qualified subcontractor, provided that:

● The subcontractor meets ODA requirements for pesticide application in public schools.

● The subcontractor and key supervisory personnel are clearly identified in the proposal, properly licensed, and approved by the District prior to contract execution.

Q2: Will you please provide a map showing the property lines for each location?

A2: Maps are available here for each location:

A3: No, this is not considered a prevailing wage project, according to BOLI. It is maintenance landscaping work on the grounds of an existing building and is not part of a major building renovation.

a. https://www.oregon.gov/boli/employers/Documents/2026%20PWR%20Laws%20 Handbook%206.5.26%20edition.pdf “Maintenance Contracts General maintenance work, such as sweeping, cleaning, and landscaping, is not covered unless it is done as part of a public works project that includes construction, reconstruction, major renovation, painting, demolition, or hazardous waste removal. For example, the PWR law does not apply if maintenance landscaping work such as mowing or pruning is performed on the grounds of an existing building where no other work is being performed. If the same landscaping is part of a major building renovation, however, then it is covered work.”

Q4: The RFP indicates there is no pre-proposal conference. Will there be an official walkthrough of each site? If no walkthrough is planned, may we visit the sites independently to assess their landscaping needs? If so, please let us know any scheduling, access, or check-in requirements.

A4: There is no walkthrough planned. Visits may occur per district policy, which specifies visitors are generally allowed on school grounds outside of school hours. School hours are defined as follows:

● District Office & Elementary Schools: 7:30-2:30

● Sherwood Middle School: 8:15-4:00

● Sherwood High School: 7:50-3:50

● Cipole (Transportation) can be viewed from outside of the property’s fencing.

Q5: Are property maps available showing the boundaries and areas included in the maintenance scope for each site?

A5: Maps are available here for each location:
