About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking up to four contractors to conduct white sturgeon research test fishing in the lower Columbia River estuary area below Wauna power lines. The procurement involves procuring specialized gillnetting services with qualified vessels and operators capable of capturing and tagging white sturgeon using Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags for population estimation research. Contractors must provide approved vessels, labor, operating supplies, gillnets, and necessary equipment to perform gillnetting operations for a minimum of 15 days, with potential contract extension up to an additional 5 days. Proposals will be evaluated based on multiple criteria, with cost being a significant factor (lowest cost proposal receiving the highest score). The proposal submission deadline is March 28, 2023, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, with the contract term anticipated to start upon final signature and run through June 30, 2023. Vessel operators must meet specific qualifications, including having appropriate equipment, experience, and capability to safely and effectively conduct the research test fishing.
The procurement encourages participation from certified small businesses and may require a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan. Potential contractors must be prepared to submit a detailed cost sheet and demonstrate compliance with disadvantaged business enterprise requirements. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract appears to be funded potentially through a combination of state and federal funding sources. The State of Oregon reserves the right to adjust the number of contract days based on budgetary constraints and will award the contract to the most advantageous proposal. Vendors must be prepared to integrate with existing research protocols and provide comprehensive documentation of their test fishing activities. The procurement is specifically tied to Columbia County and aims to support ongoing white sturgeon population research in the lower Columbia River estuary ecosystem.
