About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is issuing a sole-source contract for habitat enhancement and maintenance at the Herbert Farm Natural Area (HFNA), a 222-acre property located in Benton County. The procurement is specifically for the Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) to continue restoration, maintenance, and protection of natural habitats within the site. The contract is a single-year professional/personal services agreement with key objectives including habitat monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and transitional management prior to the City of Corvallis assuming full management responsibilities. Deliverables will include ongoing photo point monitoring, habitat restoration activities, and comprehensive reporting on site conditions and management efforts. The procurement is being conducted under specific Oregon administrative rules, including OAR 137-047-0275, ORS 279B.050(6)(m), and ORS 279B.075. The solicitation was posted on July 16, 2024, with a response deadline of July 23, 2024, representing a relatively compressed timeline for potential vendor consideration.
This sole-source procurement is specifically targeted to the Institute for Applied Ecology, with no indication of set-aside designations or opportunities for other vendors to compete. IAE has been selected based on their specialized experience with the site's sensitive habitats, established monitoring protocols, and successful relationships with local stakeholders. The organization is currently co-authoring an updated Land Management Plan and has a documented history of successful work at the property. While a specific contract value is not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement is focused on maintaining efficient utilization of state resources and ensuring continuity of established restoration and monitoring techniques. The contract appears to be structured as a critical transitional service to prepare for eventual full management transfer to the City of Corvallis, leveraging IAE's existing knowledge and investment in the Herbert Farm Natural Area.
