On-Call Vegetation Control

The Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) Procurement Unit is requesting quotes for on-call vegetation control services at nine youth correctional and transitional facilities statewide, with quotes due August 4, 2026. OYA prefers Oregon Small Business Enterprises (OSBEs) but does not restrict eligibility to that category.

The scope covers comprehensive vegetation control—pre-emergent, post-emergent, and selective herbicide applications—at Eastern Oregon Youth Correctional Facility (Burns), MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility (Woodburn), Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility (Albany), Jackie Winters Transition Program (Albany), Camp Riverbend Youth Transitional Facility (La Grande), Rogue Valley Youth Correctional Facility (Grants Pass), Tillamook Youth Correctional Facility (Tillamook), Camp Florence Youth Transitional Facility (Florence), and Camp Tillamook Youth Transitional Facility (Tillamook). All applications must comply with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles and applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Offerors must identify which facilities they are willing to serve and submit an all-inclusive standard hourly labor rate and material mark-up percentage.

The cumulative contract value does not exceed $250,000 over an estimated two-year term with options to amend for up to an additional five years. OYA uses a "Best Value" evaluation standard with no guarantee of specific quantities under the resulting contract(s). Work is performed within secure correctional facilities and subject to prevailing wage requirements under ORS 279C.800 through 279C.870. Contractors must carry Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, complete criminal records checks for personnel with direct youth contact, comply with child abuse mandatory reporting laws and PREA protocols, and submit to facility escort and tool control requirements. Quotes should be submitted to Riley Dunagan at the OYA Procurement Unit.
