The procurement targets independent contractors who can provide comprehensive design and project management services across several critical municipal sectors, including Parks and Recreation, Drinking Water, Sewerage, Transportation, and Public Facilities. A specific highlighted project is the Infrastructure Finance Authority (IFA)-funded Nedonna Beach Watermain replacement initiative. Proposals must be submitted in sealed, confidential envelopes directly to City Manager Luke Shepard by 5:00 p.m. on January 31, 2025, with no acceptance of faxed or emailed submissions. The RFP is being conducted under Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 137-048-0220, and complete documentation is available online at https://corb.us/bids-rfps/. Potential respondents are encouraged to direct any questions to City Manager Luke Shepard via email at citymanager@corb.us or by phone at (503) 374-1752.

While the RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, interested consultants will need to demonstrate robust engineering capabilities across multiple infrastructure domains. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The RFP does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the multi-project scope suggests a potentially significant contract opportunity. The requirement for an Engineer of Record implies that the selected consultant(s) will need extensive professional credentials, likely including professional engineering licensure in Oregon and demonstrated experience in municipal infrastructure design and project management. The documentation suggests a comprehensive approach to municipal engineering services, with the potential for ongoing engagement across various city infrastructure improvement initiatives.
