The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) #S-63500-00013659 for painting services at the Clackamas Complex Building 15, a historic structure originally constructed in 1911 that has not been painted for multiple decades. The project requires a contractor to perform comprehensive painting services, including lead abatement, surface preparation, siding repair, and painting to match existing colors. Key deliverables include complete lead remediation, surface preparation, and final painting that preserves the building's historical character. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 6, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with bids due by May 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The contractor is expected to complete all work by June 27, 2025, with final payment issued no later than June 30, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with contractors required to demonstrate expertise in lead abatement, provide proof of insurance, and comply with safety and environmental guidelines. Bidders must submit multiple required forms, including a Bid Cover Sheet, Reference Check Form, Bid Submittal Form, and Responsibility Inquiry.

The solicitation emphasizes business inclusion and opportunities for Certified Firms, specifically targeting minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Bidders are required to complete a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan, detailing their approach to engaging Certified Firms and potential subcontracting opportunities. The state encourages vendors to explore growth opportunities through the Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). While the specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as a single lump-sum payment upon satisfactory project completion. Contractors must meet stringent qualification requirements, including having a written policy preventing sexual harassment for contracts over $150,000, demonstrating financial stability, and showing no undisclosed debt to the state. The project requires compliance with state regulations on pay equity, nondiscrimination, and the use of recycled products, with additional emphasis on verifying that bidders are not on government sanctions lists such as the Specially Designated Nationals list or System for Award Management exclusion lists.
