About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking a contractor for the Oregon State University's Collins Demonstration Forest Habitat Enhancement Project Phase II 2023, located near Gold Hill in Jackson County. The project involves habitat enhancement for oak woodlands and open pine forests, specifically targeting up to 27 acres of forestland with chainsaw cutting and hand piling of small diameter vegetation. The key objectives include promoting open pine and oak habitats while maintaining a mosaic of dense and open areas, shrub patches, and diverse habitat features. A pre-proposal site visit was conducted on February 9, 2023, with proposals due by February 17, 2023, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Evaluation criteria will assess contractor qualifications, technical approach, and proposed costs, with work to be completed between the last contract signature date and May 31, 2023, and final invoicing due by June 30, 2023. The project builds upon a previous 2021 habitat enhancement initiative that treated 27 acres in two blocks, with similar prescribed treatment methods. Contractors will be required to use chainsaws and hand-piling techniques to achieve the habitat management goals.
The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Superior AJ Forestry LLC of Central Point, Oregon, has been identified as the intended awardee after a competitive bidding process, having scored highest and been deemed responsive and responsible. The Notice of Intent to Award indicates the bid tabulation was posted on OregonBuys, suggesting a transparent procurement process. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly disclosed, the project will depend on contract costs and available funding, with 18 acres designated as high priority and 9 acres as medium priority for treatment. The amended contract allows contractors to use full-size vehicles or ATVs/UTVs on natural surface roads, provided the substrate remains undamaged. The project is anticipated to be awarded to a single contractor, with the total project scope and actual acres treated potentially adjustable based on bid pricing and the department's discretion.
