10155 Potable Water Hauling and related Delivery Services to Prineville Reservoir State Park

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for potable water hauling and related delivery services to Prineville Reservoir State Park, located at 19020 SE Parkland Dr, Prineville, OR 97754. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide potable water from a municipal source, with delivery and off-loading services directly to the state park. The initial contract term will run through December 31, 2023, with potential extensions up to five total years. Bidders must submit their proposals via OregonBuys by August 10, 2023, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 4, 2023. Evaluation criteria will include price, experience, expertise, and product functionality, with OPRD reserving the right to award the contract to the bid that best serves their interests. Bidders are required to complete and submit several mandatory documents, including a Contractual Acceptance Form, Pricing Proposal Form, and demonstrate current licensing or certification for the required services. Qualified vendors must provide detailed pricing per gallon and per haul, with potable water sourced exclusively from a municipal water system.

The ITB does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. However, OPRD will give preference to goods or services manufactured or produced in Oregon if price, fitness, availability, and quality are otherwise equal. The procurement will also apply a percentage increase to bids from non-resident bidders equivalent to the preference given to bidders in their state of residence. In the bid tabulation, Central Oregon Water Hauling LLC dba Bend Water Hauling was the sole bidder, offering a rate of $0.88 per gallon and $350.00 per haul for 4,000-gallon deliveries. The contractor must maintain specific insurance coverages, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract allows for potential annual price adjustments and can be extended for up to five years total, providing flexibility for ongoing water hauling services at Prineville Reservoir State Park.
