Environmental Air Quality Engineering Consultant

Clackamas County Water Environment Services (WES) is seeking an Environmental Air Quality Engineering Consultant through Request for Proposals (RFP) 2022-44, with sealed proposals due on April 26, 2022, at 2:00 PM. The selected consultant will provide comprehensive air quality engineering services, including monthly updates to emission calculation spreadsheets, preparation of annual reports for three WES facilities, outlining air permitting requirements, providing on-call air quality support, and preparing future air toxics emissions inventories for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Qualified firms must demonstrate experience providing similar services to public entities of comparable size within the past five years. The county will evaluate proposals based on competitive rates, with proposers required to submit a not-to-exceed price proposal that will be a factor in vendor selection. The anticipated contract start date is May 2022, with an initial term of five years and an optional five-year renewal period.

The RFP documents do not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. The county intends to award the contract to SLR International Corporation, as indicated in the Notice of Intent to Award document. The total estimated project budget is $430,000 over the life of the contract. Unsuccessful proposers have a seven-calendar-day period to file a protest following the notice of intent to award. The contract will not be considered fully executed until a contract containing terms and conditions acceptable to the county is signed, and the apparent successful proposer has no legal or equitable rights until that point. If the top-ranked proposer fails to negotiate and execute a contract, Clackamas County may award the contract to the next highest-ranked proposer or withdraw the RFP entirely.
