About this opportunity

The City of Newport, Oregon, has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Financial Strategy Consulting Services related to the Big Creek Dam Replacement project, seeking a professional consultant to develop and manage a comprehensive Funding Strategy and Implementation Plan. The project involves securing construction funding for a $110M dam replacement, with the city having already completed 30% design and obtained state and federal funding for the design phase. Proposals are due March 18, 2025, by 2:00 PM, with anticipated contract approval by April 30, 2025. The selected consultant must have a minimum of five years of experience in grant pursuits for similar agencies and possess in-depth knowledge of municipal securities and offerings. Evaluation of proposals will be conducted on a 100-point scale, with points allocated as follows: thoroughness/quality (20 points), project understanding/approach (20 points), team qualifications (30 points), and client references (30 points). The project timeline is structured in 5 phases over approximately 6-7 months, with deliverables including a written Funding Strategy and Implementation Plan that identifies multiple revenue sources for project construction.

The RFQ does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement documents indicate the need for a consultant with specialized municipal funding expertise. The project scope requires developing a comprehensive funding strategy that integrates multiple revenue streams, potentially including state and federal grants, municipal bonds, and other financial instruments. The total project budget is estimated at $110M, with the consulting contract likely representing a smaller percentage of that total, though the exact contract value is not specified in the available documentation. The consulting engagement will require close collaboration with city officials and potentially other stakeholders to successfully secure the necessary construction funding for the dam replacement project.
