About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for telemetry helicopter flights for inventory and capture of gray wolves throughout Eastern Oregon, with a specific focus on Union County. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide a helicopter with an experienced wolf capture pilot, fuel truck, and driver to assist in capturing wolves and transporting agency biologists to field locations for data collection and wolf collaring. The contract requires a helicopter with specific equipment and pilot qualifications capable of conducting approximately 120 hours of survey flights per year, supporting wolf management and research activities. The initial contract term is anticipated to be two years, with options to renew up to a cumulative maximum of 10 years, and ODFW plans to award no more than two contracts from this RFP. Evaluation criteria include a detailed scoring system with 30 points for Cost Sheet, 30 points for General Qualifications, 10 points for Understanding of Requested Services, and 30 points for Pilot Qualifications. The proposal is due by March 19, 2024, with the offer remaining valid for 180 days from submission.
The RFP includes a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan, requiring offerors to demonstrate efforts to provide opportunities for certified disadvantaged businesses, including minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Potential contractors must indicate if they are a certified firm, list firms they have worked with, and describe steps to solicit certified firms for subcontracting opportunities. The procurement documents require extensive documentation, including a Responsibility Inquiry form detailing financial resources, equipment, and performance history, and a Reference Check form with three professional references. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the Cost Sheet allows for detailed pricing of helicopter services, fuel truck, mileage, and per diem expenses. The State reserves the right to adjust deliverables to meet budgetary constraints and will award the contract to the responsive and responsible offeror providing the lowest total cost. Contractors must also complete various certification documents, including compliance with non-discrimination policies, tax regulations, and conflict of interest guidelines.
