Statewide Homeowners Survey

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Services (DAS SPS) is seeking a single contractor to conduct random sample surveys of Oregon homeowners on behalf of the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). The primary objective is to gather statistical and demographic data regarding homeowners' understanding and awareness of licensed contractors and the CCB's services. The successful proposer will be responsible for administering bi-annual online or telephone surveys to a representative sample of at least 800 Oregon homeowners, ensuring equal gender representation and statewide geographic coverage with a margin of error no greater than 3.5 percent at a 95 percent confidence level. Deliverables include a comprehensive written report detailing survey questions, responses, and sample demographics. The RFP will evaluate proposals based on a 100-point system, considering factors such as company profile, administrative proposal, key personnel qualifications, sample reports, and pricing. Proposals are due by November 20, 2024, at 5 PM Pacific Time, with an anticipated contract term of two years and potential extensions up to a maximum of ten years.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with an emphasis on COBID (Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity) certification and outreach. The current incumbent, Logit US DBA Issues & Answers, has previously conducted the survey, with the 2023 iteration costing $19,220. The contract has a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $250,000 for the entire potential ten-year term. Proposers must provide proof of insurance, tax identification information, and other documentation prior to contract execution. The procurement allows for various data collection methods, including online panel surveys, provided they meet the specified geographic and demographic requirements. Evaluation results from the most recent solicitation show seven proposers were ranked, with scores ranging from 221 to 165 points, indicating a competitive selection process. The successful proposer will be required to deliver survey data and analysis by June 30, 2025, with potential for continued engagement through multiple contract extensions.
