About this opportunity

The State of Oregon, through the Oregon Water Resources Department, is soliciting proposals for an Agency Business Case Assessment focused on evaluating the comprehensive economic and non-monetary value of water resources. The procurement seeks a contractor and external stakeholders to conduct an in-depth analysis examining both instream and out-of-stream water purposes, with a specific emphasis on understanding the economic impacts of investing or not investing in water infrastructure, data management, conservation, planning, and climate adaptation. The project will require a holistic assessment that not only quantifies economic value but also acknowledges broader non-monetary dimensions, including cultural, aesthetic, and spiritual water values. Proposals are due by January 12, 2023, at 4:00 P.M. Pacific Time, with an anticipated contract term of 9-12 months concluding on June 30, 2023. The state anticipates awarding a single contract to a vendor demonstrating expertise in natural resource economic valuations and capable of producing an impactful, publicly accessible report. Proposers must submit detailed cost structures with separate line items for personnel, travel, supplies, and administrative expenses, and should be prepared for potential additional competitive rounds including interviews and discussions.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the provided documentation. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the assessment suggests a significant scope of work requiring substantial technical and economic expertise. The project involves Marion County and potentially extends to broader state-wide water resource considerations. The state may conduct additional competitive rounds to determine the most suitable proposer, indicating a rigorous selection process that will likely prioritize technical capability, economic analysis skills, and the ability to provide a nuanced, multi-dimensional assessment of water resources. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate advanced capabilities in economic valuation, natural resource analysis, and report development that can effectively communicate complex water resource insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
