Notice of Intent to Award a Cooperative Contract

The Beaverton School District in Oregon is seeking to award a cooperative contract through the AEPA Cooperative Contract IFB #024-A for the conversion of existing natural turf to synthetic turf on softball and baseball stadium fields at Aloha High School. The procurement is being conducted pursuant to ORS 279A.215(2)(a), leveraging an inter-agency cooperative agreement with Oregon Inter-Mountain ESD (IMESD) and FieldTurf USA, Inc. The primary deliverable involves a comprehensive field surface transformation, replacing current living turf with high-quality synthetic turf suitable for sports field applications. The project scope includes complete field conversion for softball and baseball stadium fields, with specific technical requirements for surface materials, installation, and performance standards. The notice was posted on March 18, 2025, with a public comment period ending on March 25, 2025, during which interested parties can submit comments or inquiries to contracts@beaverton.k12.or.us. Potential respondents should contact Elizabeth Smith, the Contract Specialist, at (503) 356-4586 for detailed specifications and additional project information.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the Beaverton School District emphasizes its commitment to diversity and non-discrimination. The intended cooperative contract has an approximate value of $5,450,395, representing a significant investment in sports infrastructure improvement. FieldTurf USA, Inc. is positioned as the primary vendor through the AEPA cooperative contract, which suggests they may be the preferred or sole vendor for this specific procurement. The contract will be executed through a cooperative purchasing mechanism, which typically allows for streamlined procurement processes and potentially more competitive pricing. The existing infrastructure at Aloha High School will serve as the base for the synthetic turf conversion, with the project likely requiring comprehensive field preparation, removal of existing turf, and installation of new synthetic surface materials designed for athletic performance and durability.
