Solicitation for Seismic Evaluation under TAP Grant

Douglas County School District #15 - Days Creek is conducting an Informal Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure seismic evaluation services for its existing buildings. The solicitation seeks certified Structural Engineers licensed in Oregon to perform a comprehensive seismic assessment using the ASCE 41-17 evaluation method. Key deliverables include a Preliminary Engineering Report, detailed Cost Estimate, Benefit Cost Analysis, and comprehensive rehabilitation and mitigation strategies for the school's facilities. Proposals are due by June 13, 2022, at 5:00 p.m., with the district planning to award the contract by June 20, 2022, and requiring all work to be completed by October 1, 2022. Potential vendors must demonstrate a minimum $1,000,000 comprehensive general liability insurance policy and submit a completed W-9 form. The seismic evaluation is a critical component of the district's application to the Oregon Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program, with the ultimate goal of securing funding for potential building retrofits.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, appearing to be open to all qualified structural engineering firms meeting the licensing and insurance requirements. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. The project will be funded through the Oregon Transportation and Growth Management (TAP) Grant, with expenses covered by this grant source. The evaluation will cover multiple buildings on the Days Creek Charter School campus, as detailed in the accompanying floorplan and Google Earth addendum documents. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project scope suggests a focused, comprehensive seismic assessment of the school district's existing buildings. The district reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and will not reimburse vendors for costs associated with proposal preparation and submission.
