RFP - Pavement Management Services

The City of Pendleton, located in Union County, Oregon, is seeking a qualified contractor for Pavement Management Services through a Qualification Based Selection (QBS) procurement process. The primary objective is to update the city's pavement management database and conduct a comprehensive pavement condition survey covering 81.22 centerline miles of paved streets. The successful proposer will be responsible for inspecting existing street segments, creating new segmentations, entering data, and linking sections in the city's MTC Street Saver software. Proposals are due by July 20, 2023, at 2:00 pm local time, with evaluation criteria focusing on technical competence, project team experience, project understanding and approach, schedule, and references. The city will negotiate the fee schedule and deliverable budget with the top-ranked proposer. Additionally, the selected contractor must provide one year of telephone technical support at no additional charge, commencing from the date of the Notice of Completion.

The RFP does not specify any explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors. The document does not outline a specific budget range or award value for the project. The procurement appears to be open to qualified engineering or consulting firms with expertise in pavement management and street condition assessment. Integration requirements are limited to populating and linking data within the existing MTC Street Saver software platform, which suggests the city already has an established technological infrastructure for pavement management. The focus of the procurement is on obtaining professional services to conduct a detailed assessment and update of the city's street condition database, with an emphasis on technical capability and professional expertise rather than predefined cost constraints.
