Tillamook County TSP - Planning

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is issuing a Mini-Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Work Order Contract (WOC) to develop a comprehensive Transportation System Plan (TSP) for Tillamook County, specifically focusing on unincorporated communities. The project aims to document transportation needs, policies, and goals, with the ultimate outcome of creating a transportation element for the county's comprehensive plan. The TSP will encompass all trails, bike paths, and roads within participating communities, emphasizing interconnectivity with incorporated cities. Proposals will be evaluated based on specified criteria, with the contract to be awarded to the highest-ranked responsive and responsible proposer. The project is scheduled to begin in Summer 2024 and be completed by Fall 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of June 4, 2024, as listed in OregonBuys. Key deliverables will include a detailed transportation plan that addresses existing and forecasted system conditions, potential solutions, and comprehensive documentation of transportation infrastructure needs.

The procurement has established a 3% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, encouraging participation from diverse business entities. David Evans and Associates has been selected as the top-ranked firm for potential negotiations, though the final contract is not yet executed. Funding for the project will come from a combination of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sources, with potential cost reimbursement methods including Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF), Fixed Price, Time and Materials with Not-To-Exceed (T&M), or Price Per Unit. Proposing firms must have been previously awarded a specific Price Agreement series for transportation land use planning services. Potential contractors must submit a Breakdown of Costs (BOC) demonstrating subcontractor utilization, provide a Conflict of Interest (COI) Disclosure, submit a List of Subconsultants, Quality Plan, and Committed DBE Breakdown & Certification Form(s). While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in transportation planning for Tillamook County.
