RFP B12-2026 Special Testing and Inspection Services

Oregon City School District No. 62 issued Request for Proposal B12-2026 on May 8, 2026, for competitive sealed and written proposals from qualified firms to provide code-required special inspection services and soils/geotechnical field inspections and monitoring services for the district's 2025 Bond Projects. The procurement encompasses special inspections and testing across three primary school sites—Candy Lane Elementary, Holcomb Elementary, and John McLoughlin Elementary—with services organized into five primary categories: soils and geotechnical inspections and testing, concrete special inspection and testing, masonry verification, special inspections and required testing, and steel and wood special inspections including wood seismic resistance inspections. Qualified proposers must demonstrate capability to conduct labor and materials for each service category at all three school locations, provide comprehensive geotechnical field monitoring aligned with construction schedules that extend through 2027, and ensure compliance with all applicable building codes and professional standards. Deliverables include detailed inspection and testing documentation, material compliance verification, geotechnical assessments at baseline and throughout construction phases, and coordination with project schedules ranging from June 2026 through October 2027 depending on the specific school project. Evaluation and award will be based on comprehensive pricing submitted for all three school locations with labor and testing rates organized by site and service category. The deadline for proposal submission is May 28, 2026, providing a twenty-day response period from the May 8 posting date.

The RFP documentation does not specify set-aside designations, minority or women-owned business enterprise requirements, or restrictions limiting response eligibility to particular organization types, indicating the procurement is open to all qualified contractors meeting professional and licensing requirements. The Professional Services Agreement template specifies that contractors must maintain professional liability insurance of at least $1,500,000 per claim and $2,000,000 annual aggregate if performing licensed services, along with commercial general liability coverage of $2,000,000 combined single limit and $3,000,000 annual aggregate, and commercial automobile liability of $1,000,000, indicating the requirement for licensed professional service providers. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified in the procurement documents, and the contract work product shall be owned exclusively by the district as works made for hire. The actual contract amount is not specified in the available documentation, with the price proposal template indicating compensation "not to exceed zero dollars" pending final contract execution, though the scope encompasses three concurrent school projects with extensive special inspection and testing requirements across multiple construction phases. Contractors must comply with Oregon prevailing wage requirements and maintain all records for a minimum of three years following final payment and contract termination.
