The City of Eugene, Oregon, located in Lane County, has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ #20252023) for the fabrication and installation of modular metal screening enclosures for portable restrooms in four developed parks. The project involves constructing concrete footings, installing three-sided steel portable restroom screening structures, and completing associated site work at Petersen Barn, Westmoreland Park, Alton Baker Park, and Oakmont Park. Contractor qualifications include being licensed and insured, with demonstrated experience in similar construction projects.

The City reserves the right to reject any or all quotes and can cancel or suspend the award prior to contract execution.
