The primary objectives include completing a comprehensive wetland delineation, conducting a detailed environmental assessment, and supporting permitting processes for proposed improvements to a boat ramp facility situated on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land leased to ODFW. Specific deliverables will encompass a wetland delineation survey, a comprehensive wetland delineation report, a NEPA report, and assistance with permitting procedures. Interested consultants must demonstrate expertise in environmental engineering, with a focus on wetland analysis and environmental compliance. The proposal submission deadline is March 28, 2024, at 3:00 PM PST, with an anticipated contract award for a single consultant. The contract term is estimated at approximately 18 months, extending from the effective date through August 31, 2024, unless otherwise modified or extended.

The procurement includes specific provisions for disadvantaged business enterprise participation, requiring offerors to complete a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan. Consultants must indicate whether they are an Oregon certified firm and provide details about minority, woman-owned, veteran-owned, or emerging small businesses they have previously collaborated with or intend to engage as subcontractors. The proposal must outline steps for soliciting certified firms for potential subcontracting opportunities and demonstrate willingness to report subcontractor identities and contract values to the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the cost sheet indicates that proposed pricing should comprehensively include all costs, contractor profit, and overhead, with the state reserving the right to adjust deliverables based on budgetary constraints. Contractors will be evaluated on their financial resources, material and equipment capabilities, past contract performance, professional expertise, and potential legal or financial history disclosed in the responsibility inquiry documentation.
