Washington County District Attorney's Office is requesting proposals for a fully trained and certified facility, therapy, or courthouse dog to support crime victims in legal and courtroom environments, with proposals due August 14, 2026.
The selected canine training organization must deliver a dog meeting established professional certification standards and provide comprehensive training for a designated primary handler and at least one backup handler. The certified dog-and-handler team will be deployed in trauma-informed settings to support victims during interviews, court proceedings, meetings, and community outreach. The training organization must demonstrate expertise in preparing canine teams for sensitive legal environments and ensuring handlers possess the skills to safely, ethically, and effectively integrate the dog into victim services operations and judicial processes.
The contractor must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the State of Oregon, its agents, officers, elected officials, and employees from all claims arising from damages to property or bodily injury caused by the contractor's negligent performance, willful misconduct, or that of its employees, agents, or subcontractors. The contractor is required to name the State of Oregon, its officers, employees, and agents as Additional Insureds with respect to all activities performed under the contract, with insurance coverage primary and non-contributory.
Contract forms and attachments include a Personal Professional Services Contract Form, a Services Contract Master document, state insurance program requirements, and a detailed solicitation document.
