About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) is seeking a consultant to provide comprehensive carbon market services for the Elliott State Research Forest (ESRF), a significant 83,000-acre forestland project. The Request for Proposal (RFP # S-DASOBO-00006846) involves three distinct project phases: creating a Carbon Market Assessment Report, enrolling in a carbon program, and assisting with carbon credit sales. The selected consultant will support Oregon State University's research plan and an 80-year Habitat Conservation Plan that sets aside tens of thousands of acres of timber as forest reserves. Evaluation criteria will assess proposers based on technical approach, project understanding, qualifications, and cost. The RFP was posted on May 16, 2023, with proposals due by June 15, 2023, and Element Markets, LLC was ultimately selected through a competitive scoring process that evaluated multiple proposers. The contract has an initial one-year term with potential renewal options and requires the consultant to produce specific deliverables including a detailed Carbon Market Assessment Report and support for market enrollment and credit sales.
The procurement encourages participation from certified disadvantaged businesses, specifically targeting minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Proposers must demonstrate commitment to providing subcontracting opportunities to certified firms and report details of such subcontracts to the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity. The contract requires extensive documentation, including pay equity certification, insurance certificates, and compliance with various state laws. Specific insurance requirements include workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, professional liability, pollution liability, and excess/umbrella insurance. While specific budget details were not explicitly disclosed, the contract involves comprehensive carbon market services for a world-class research forest. The awarded contract went to Element Markets, LLC, which received the highest evaluation score of 505 points, compared to competing proposers Gordian Knot Strategies (453 points) and ClearBlue Markets (433 points).
