RFQ 2021-99 Courthouse Clean and Seal

Clackamas County, Oregon, has issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ #2021-99) for exterior preservation services targeting the Clackamas County Courthouse and Development Services Building. The procurement seeks a contractor to perform comprehensive exterior cleaning and sealing services, specifically involving cleaning masonry, concrete, and metal surfaces, followed by application of a water repellent sealant. Potential bidders must demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience and comply with Oregon's Prevailing Wage Rate laws. The RFQ requires quotes to be submitted on company letterhead, with itemized pricing for equipment, materials, and labor, and a bid bond is mandatory for quotes exceeding $100,000. The solicitation's key deadlines include a submission due date of December 1, 2021, at 2:00 PM, with a project timeline mandating a Notice to Proceed, Substantial Completion by May 13, 2022, and Final Completion by June 24, 2022. Evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the county reserving the right to make the final determination.

The RFQ does not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Three qualifying quotes were received from Cascade Industrial Services ($126,260), Pioneer Waterproofing Company ($113,841), and First Cascade Corporation ($122,000), suggesting open competition among commercial contractors. The total estimated project value is $141,000, covering both building preservation projects. No incumbent vendor information was provided, and the solicitation does not specify existing infrastructure requirements or technology integration needs. Contractors are advised that no onsite storage is available and must include material storage provisions in their bids, with water access provided at both project sites. The county intends to award the contract to a single contractor responsible for completing the entire scope of work for both buildings.
