COBID NOTICE ONLY- Direct Appoint A&E Contract for Garden Pride/Justice Bldg Chiller Project 106. 019

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Enterprise Asset Management, Planning & Construction Management division is issuing a COBID (Certification Office Business Inclusion and Diversity) notice regarding the direct appointment of an Architecture and Engineering (AE) services contract for the Garden Pride/Justice Building Chiller project #106.019. This is a notice-only posting and does not constitute an open bidding opportunity. The primary deliverables include a comprehensive feasibility analysis and detailed scope of work for the chiller system replacement project, which encompasses evaluation of the existing chiller system demolition, abandonment of underground chilled water pipes, installation of new chilled water systems, and development of a detailed construction cost estimate. The contract is intended to be awarded directly to Systems West Engineers. Interested Oregon COBID-certified businesses that believe they can provide comparable services must contact Procurement Specialist Cheyenne Starck at Cheyenne.Starck@das.oregon.gov or 971-283-4507 to express their capability by the deadline of 6:00 PM (PT) on March 12, 2026.

This procurement opportunity is restricted to Oregon COBID-certified businesses, making it a designated set-aside for certified disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent contractor information, specific contract pricing, funding amounts, contract duration, renewal options, or detailed budget breakdowns are provided in the notice. The posting does not include set-aside percentages or information regarding integration with existing infrastructure beyond the scope description. As this is a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation, the contract value and final terms will be established through the direct appointment process with Systems West Engineers, and no public budget range has been disclosed for this project phase.
