South Beach State Park Septic System Services

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for comprehensive septic system services at the South Beach Management Unit in Lincoln County, Oregon. The procurement covers sewer and vault system pumping and service for multiple state recreation areas, including Beachside State Recreation Area, Brian Booth State Park, Lost Creek State Recreation Area, South Beach State Park, and W.B. Nelson State Recreation Site. Specific services include regular pumping and cleaning of over 50 septic tanks, lift stations, and vault toilets across 3,000 acres, with requirements for diagnostic support, sewer line clearing, and system repairs. The bid solicitation requires vendors to submit pricing proposals through the OregonBuys eProcurement system by March 20, 2023, at 2:00 pm Pacific Time. OPRD will evaluate bids based on total pricing and award the contract to the bidder that best serves the department's interests. Contractors must comply with Oregon's tobacco-free property policy and maintain specific insurance coverage throughout the contract term.

The ITB does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The anticipated contract period runs from March 1, 2023, to March 1, 2025, with OPRD intending to award a single contract for all specified services. While the exact budget range is not fully disclosed, the sample contract indicates a not-to-exceed compensation amount. Pricing will be determined through unit-based proposals covering vault toilet pumping, septic tank pumping, basket/biotube cleaning, labor, transportation, and emergency/weekend service fees. The contract requires comprehensive service capabilities across multiple state recreation sites, suggesting vendors must have robust technical expertise in septic system maintenance and the logistical capacity to service multiple locations within the South Beach Management Unit. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate technical competence, environmental compliance, and the ability to perform specialized maintenance services in a state park setting.
