Project #25001-1 Sewer & Septic Services

The Housing Authority of Clackamas County (HACC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Project #25001-1, seeking an on-demand contractor to provide comprehensive sewer and septic services for residential units throughout Clackamas County, Oregon. The procurement covers a wide range of maintenance tasks including cable main sewer line cleaning, toilet auger services, camera inspections, storm drain maintenance, gray water extraction, and septic tank pumping. Contractors must submit detailed bid forms with quoted rates for various services, including hourly labor rates, line cleaning, inspections, and tank pumping. The contract will run for two years, from April 15, 2025 to April 15, 2027, with proposals due on April 15, 2025 at 2:00 PM. Successful bidders must meet strict qualification requirements, including valid Oregon state licensing, compliance with construction contractor regulations, and adherence to public works bonding requirements. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, service capabilities, regulatory compliance, and demonstrated expertise in sewer and septic maintenance.

The contract appears to be open to qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations, though bidders must comply with complex regulatory requirements including HUD wage standards and specific labor classifications ranging from $19.22 to $30.03 per hour plus fringe benefits. Contractors must provide proof of comprehensive insurance and demonstrate an employee drug testing program. The contract is structured as an as-needed service agreement, with no guaranteed minimum workload, and HACC will issue written task orders for specific work. Potential bidders should be prepared to handle service needs across various locations in Clackamas County, from Estacada to Wilsonville. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, contractors should be financially capable of supporting on-demand service requirements and managing potential emergency response situations. The procurement suggests a substantial operational scope, with flexibility for the housing authority to request services as needed throughout the two-year contract period.
