MWVCAA is seeking services to restore and partially replace business pole sign.

The Mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency (MWVCAA) is seeking proposals for the restoration and partial replacement of a business pole sign at their Arches Lodge site in Salem, Oregon. This procurement is a solicitation for professional services to renovate the outdoor signage for a transitional shelter facility serving veterans and community members in need. The project requires qualified contractors to submit comprehensive proposals addressing the complete sign replacement and restoration process. Evaluation criteria will include past work with MWVCAA, commitment to the non-profit sector, ability to meet project deadlines, knowledge of Davis-Bacon Act compliance, personnel qualifications, experience with relevant permits, and overall pricing. Key submission requirements include a completed proposal cover sheet, Davis-Bacon Act checklist, evaluation criteria form, W-9 documentation, and proof of insurance. The solicitation was released on March 6, 2024, with proposals due by March 20, 2024. Interested bidders can schedule a site tour by contacting the Operations Manager, and MWVCAA intends to award the contract to the most qualified and advantageous proposal.

The procurement is subject to federal and state funding regulations, specifically the Davis-Bacon Act, which mandates compliance for all bids exceeding $2,000 with labor hours. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the solicitation appears to prioritize contractors with demonstrated experience in non-profit sector projects and those who can advocate for certified businesses. The project involves working with an existing transitional shelter infrastructure, suggesting potential integration requirements with the current Arches Lodge facility. Although a specific budget range was not disclosed in the available documentation, the project scope indicates a moderate-scale signage renovation effort. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in sign restoration, familiarity with municipal permitting processes, and the ability to work within the constraints of a federally-funded non-profit organization's project requirements.
