About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is procuring aviation services for the 2024 Sage-Grouse Lek Surveys in Harney County through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The solicitation (S-63500-00009260) seeks a contractor to provide three helicopters, three experienced pilots, and one fuel truck with a driver to support biologists conducting surveys of Sage-Grouse lek sites. Key requirements include highly experienced pilots with demonstrated expertise in wildlife survey operations, helicopters meeting specific operational standards, and a fuel service truck to support remote survey activities. The project is scheduled to occur between April 1 and April 15, 2024, with an anticipated maximum of 60 flight hours. Proposals are due by 3:00 PM PDT on February 6, 2024, with an anticipated Notice of Intent to Award on February 15, 2024. Evaluation criteria will primarily focus on pricing, operational capabilities, and the contractor's ability to meet the specified technical requirements for aviation support in remote wildlife survey environments.
The ODFW is promoting equal opportunity and will consider preferences for certified disadvantaged business enterprises during the procurement process. The current Notice of Intent to Award indicates JL Aviation, Inc. as the lowest responsible bidder for the contract. The contract term is expected to run from March 1 to April 30, 2024, with potential flexibility for contract modifications. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the Cost Sheet provides a framework for pricing that includes hourly rates for helicopter and pilot services, ferry flights, mobilization fees, fuel truck driver compensation, mileage rates, and per diem costs. The State reserves the right to adjust deliverables to meet budgetary constraints, suggesting potential variability in the total contract value. Interested contractors must demonstrate comprehensive aviation capabilities, including pilot experience, helicopter specifications, and logistical support for conducting wildlife surveys in challenging rural environments.
