ZCS Engineering â? ? Seismic Rehabilitation Engineering Services

Rogue River School District No. 35 in Oregon has issued a sole-source procurement notice for seismic rehabilitation engineering services from ZCS Engineering, with a protest deadline of September 24, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. This is a decision-flipping constraint: the District's Local Contract Review Board has determined ZCS Engineering is the sole source capable of providing the required services, and the contract will proceed to award if no protests are timely filed.

The scope encompasses engineering predesign, design development, construction documents, and construction administration for a seismic rehabilitation project funded through the Oregon Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program. The work involves the District's facilities and builds on the firm's prior structural assessments and seismic upgrade history.

The contract is not to exceed $249,500. ZCS Engineering's prior performance forms the justification for sole-source treatment: the firm has completed the District's last two seismic engineering projects over the past 15 years and authored the current seismic grant application. The District asserts that retaining the same engineering team will eliminate duplication of work, reduce project risk, and provide substantial cost savings through continuity of services and specialized knowledge of the District's facilities.

Prospective contractors who believe they can provide equivalent services must submit written protests to April Harrison at the District's mailing address or email by the September 24 deadline. If no protests are received, the District will award to ZCS Engineering without further competition.
