About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP) No. S-63500-00012301 for 2025 Aerial Sage-Grouse Lek Surveys in Harney and Malheur Counties. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide two helicopters, two experienced pilots, and one fuel truck with a driver to transport ODFW biologists for conducting sage-grouse breeding ground surveys. Required aircraft must be a Bell Jet Ranger B-3 helicopter or equivalent, equipped with radio communications, GPS navigation, and remote tracking capabilities. Pilot qualifications include a minimum of 1,000 total helicopter flight hours, 100 hours of low-elevation flight experience, and 100 hours of wildlife inventory experience. The evaluation criteria will assess proposals across several categories: understanding of requested services (50 points), general qualifications (40 points), pilot qualifications (30 points), references (15 points), and price (10 points), totaling 145 possible points. Proposals are due on January 23, 2025, at 3:00 PM PDT, with an anticipated contract award date of February 4, 2025. The contract period runs from March 1, 2025, through April 30, 2025, with primary survey operations scheduled between April 1-15, 2025, and an anticipated 60 total flight hours to complete the required surveys.
ODFW encourages participation from minority, women, emerging small, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses certified by Oregon's Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) program. The preliminary bid evaluation results indicate that JL Aviation Inc. was the sole responsive bidder, receiving unanimous scores of 135 points from all three panel members and scoring the maximum 10 points in the price category. A Notice of Intent to Award dated February 3, 2025, indicates ODFW's plan to award a Personal Service Contract (PSK) to JL Aviation, Inc. from Boring, Oregon. The contract requires the contractor to maintain specific insurance coverages, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($2M per occurrence/$4M aggregate), automobile liability ($1M), and aircraft liability ($2M). While no specific total contract value was explicitly stated, the pricing structure includes hourly rates for ferry flights, helicopter and pilot services, fuel truck driver, mileage for the fuel truck, and per diem for crew members. The procurement emphasizes the contractor's ability to respond within 48 hours' notice and transport up to two ODFW biologists per flight for sage-grouse lek surveys.
