John Day Watershed Habitat Program Used Dump Truck

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's John Day Watershed Wildlife Habitat Program (JDWWHP) is seeking to procure a used dump truck through a special procurement process under ORS 279B.080, specifically targeting a vehicle to replace their existing 32-year-old flatbed truck. The procurement is for a single used dump truck that will be utilized for hauling heavy equipment and substrate materials for habitat and facility maintenance activities across six wildlife areas managed by the program. The procurement will be conducted via a purchase order posted on OregonBuys with a mandatory 7-day protest period, scheduled between May 13, 2024, and June 30, 2024. The procurement timeline indicates a due date of May 28, 2024, for the opportunity, with the specific goal of acquiring a used dump truck from a local dealer. The justification for this special procurement centers on limited local options for used dump trucks and the potential for cost savings by purchasing from a nearby vendor who has lowered their listing price to remain competitive. The primary objective is to enhance the operational effectiveness of the John Day Watershed Wildlife Habitat Program by obtaining a more capable and efficient transportation vehicle.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the procurement documents. The opportunity appears to be open to vendors capable of providing a suitable used dump truck, with RWC International, Ltd. of Pendleton, OR, being the current identified potential vendor. The total estimated cost for the used dump truck is $94,900, which represents the anticipated budget range for this procurement. No incumbent vendors are explicitly listed beyond the current potential supplier. The procurement does not indicate any specific technological integration requirements or complex infrastructure needs. The procurement is being conducted by Union County in Oregon, with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife as the primary agency overseeing the process. The sole evaluation criterion appears to be the suitability of the used dump truck for the program's maintenance and transportation needs, with a focus on local availability and cost-effectiveness.
