RFQ 2023-82 On Call Environmental Consulting

Clackamas County, Oregon, has issued Request for Quotes (RFQ) 2023-82 for on-call environmental consulting services, seeking to select up to two environmental consultant firms to provide as-needed professional services from 2023 to 2026. The selected consultants will be required to perform a variety of environmental tasks, including wetland delineation, stream assessments, permit acquisition, and regulatory compliance reporting. Qualified firms must demonstrate relevant experience, project team capabilities, and a comprehensive understanding of environmental consulting work. The RFQ requires electronic submission through the County's Bid Locker platform by October 26, 2023, at 2:00 PM PST, with quotes evaluating consultants' qualifications, project approach, and fee schedules. Consultants will be placed on a prioritized list and contacted for specific project needs, with the ability to be passed over if unable to meet the County's timeline or if a conflict of interest exists.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The County has established a total budget not to exceed $150,000 over the three-year contract period, with individual annual contracts limited to $50,000. Fees are required to remain firm throughout the contract term, and the County will issue task orders to selected consultants as specific projects arise. The contract will function as an on-call, as-needed arrangement, allowing Clackamas County flexibility in securing environmental consulting services for various municipal projects. Consultants will be expected to provide detailed scopes of work and compensation proposals for each task order, with the understanding that not all selected firms may receive equal amounts of work during the contract period.
