No pre-proposal conference is scheduled. The procurement requires completion and submission of Attachment D (Certified Disadvantaged Business Form and Outreach Plan), though diversity certification status is not scored in proposal evaluation.

The scope encompasses forest stand improvement, vegetation management, hazardous fuel reduction, site preparation, plant procurement and installation, plant protection, vegetation release, and interplanting across four priority areas totaling approximately 164 acres. Work is organized by priority area with specific bid items, and performance is contingent on written Notice to Proceed issued by the Agency Contract Administrator. The Agency has completed a comprehensive Forest Restoration Implementation Plan that serves as technical specification; contractors must follow restoration methodologies, performance standards, and project deliverables outlined therein. The estimated implementation schedule spans fiscal years 2026 through 2030, though actual work sequencing and annual funding are subject to modification based on operational requirements, seasonal conditions, environmental factors, and agency needs.

The contract term extends through September 30, 2030. Proposers must submit unit prices and extended prices for all bid items; unit prices must include labor, supervision, equipment, materials, planting stock, transportation, mobilization, permits, disposal, overhead, profit, insurance, and incidental costs. Actual contract payments will be based on authorized quantities completed and accepted. The contract maximum not-to-exceed compensation amount is redacted in the sample contract. Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), Automobile Liability ($1 million combined single limit), and Contractor's Pollution Liability ($2 million per loss / $4 million aggregate). Prevailing wage requirements under ORS 279C.505-530 apply.

Evaluation uses formal selection based on price and qualifications: technical proposals (project understanding and approach, experience and qualifications, project team and key personnel, references and past performance) receive 80 points combined; price receives 20 points, with the lowest responsive evaluated price receiving maximum points. Interviews are estimated for September 15, 2026, with Notice of Intent to Award on September 16. Proposals are firm offers valid for ninety days following the due date.
