About this opportunity

The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to charter a vessel for conducting video surveys of seafloor habitats near Heceta Bank and Cascade Head. The primary objective is to execute up to 9 days of at-sea surveys between May 1 and June 30, 2023, using either a towed video sled or a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). The contractor must provide a vessel, crew, and technical support to survey fish, invertebrates, and seafloor features in specified water depths, with 5 days allocated to the Heceta Bank area (100-160 fathoms) and 4 days for nearshore rocky reef habitats between Government Point and Cascade Head (10-25 fathoms). Evaluation criteria include a scored component system totaling 100 points, with points allocated to the cost sheet, project team qualifications and availability, and vessel qualifications. Proposals are due by March 30, 2023, and the contract will be awarded to the highest-ranked responsible offeror. The vessel must meet specific technical requirements, including minimum size, maneuverability, deck space, winching capabilities, and power supply to support video survey equipment.

The RFP encourages participation from certified small businesses and requires proposers to complete a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan. Proposers must indicate if they are an Oregon certified minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or emerging small business, and describe their strategies for engaging such certified firms in subcontracting opportunities. The contract includes provisions for proposers to report subcontractor identities and values if awarded. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the sample contract indicates a maximum, not-to-exceed compensation amount, with daily survey rates to be negotiated. Proposers must complete several mandatory attachments, including a Proposer Information and Certification Sheet, Responsibility Inquiry, and Reference Check Form. The contract requires comprehensive documentation of the company's financial resources, past performance, and ability to meet technical and operational requirements. Potential contractors must also certify compliance with non-discrimination policies and provide detailed information about their vessel, crew qualifications, and technical capabilities.
