RFP 2023-45 kellogg creek administration building remodel

Clackamas County Water Environment Services (WES) is seeking architectural and engineering services for the Kellogg Creek Water Resource Reclamation Facility (WRRF) Administration Building Remodel Project through Request for Proposals (RFP) #2023-45. The project involves a 2,100 square foot addition to the existing 2,700 square foot administration building, with specific focus on adding employee facilities such as showers and a lunchroom. Proposers will be evaluated on criteria including project manager qualifications, project team composition, firm qualifications and experience, and project understanding and approach. A non-mandatory pre-proposal site walk is scheduled for May 22, 2023, at 10:00 AM, located at 11525 McLaughlin Blvd. Proposals are due by June 8, 2023, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The procurement will be executed in two phases: Phase 1 for design and bidding services, and Phase 2 for optional construction administration services. Evaluation will include a comprehensive review of submitted proposals, with the highest-scoring firm (Deca Architecture Inc. received 86.8 out of 100 points) likely to be selected.

WES explicitly encourages proposals from minority, women, and emerging small businesses, indicating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. The total project budget is $3.5 million, with the contract to be structured as a time and materials agreement with not-to-exceed amounts for each phase. The contract term is expected to run through June 30, 2024. No specific incumbent vendor is mentioned in the documentation. The project will be funded directly by WES, an intergovernmental partnership serving over 190,000 people in Clackamas County, Oregon. Proposers will need to demonstrate expertise in architectural and engineering services, with a particular focus on designing modern administrative and laboratory spaces. The successful firm will be responsible for creating design plans that meet the specific needs of the WRRF administration building, including considerations for new lab space and employee facilities. If the initially selected firm fails to negotiate and execute the contract, Clackamas County reserves the right to award the contract to the next highest-ranked proposer or withdraw the RFP entirely.
