About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking a contractor to provide specialized aviation services for Sage-Grouse lek surveys in Harney and Lake Counties, Oregon. The procurement requires one contractor to supply three helicopters, three experienced pilots, and one fuel truck with a driver to transport biologists for conducting wildlife surveys. Key deliverables include approximately 85 flight hours of survey work, with services to be performed between late March 2023 and April 10, 2023. Pilot qualifications include demonstrated experience in wildlife survey operations, and aircraft must meet specific operational standards. The proposal evaluation will primarily focus on pricing, with bids to be submitted by January 25, 2023, at 3:00 PM PDT. ODFW anticipates issuing a Notice of Intent to Award on February 10, 2023, with a contract term spanning from March 1, 2023, through April 30, 2023. Only one bid was received from JL Aviation Inc. at $99,875.00, which will be reviewed against the agency's requirements.
The procurement encourages participation from Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, with potential preference considerations for such vendors. The contract allows ODFW to extend the contract term and potentially increase maximum compensation beyond the initial scope. Insurance requirements and standard federal contract provisions will be mandatory for the selected vendor. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly detailed, the solicitation appears open to qualified aviation service providers with appropriate experience in wildlife survey operations. The maximum contract value is not definitively stated, but the current bid proposal suggests a budget around $100,000 for the entire survey project. The contract includes performance clauses and potential consequences for contractor non-compliance, ensuring accountability for the critical wildlife survey work. Notably, the contractor must be prepared to mobilize within a 48-hour notice by the agency, indicating the need for operational flexibility.
