2026-39 Land Suitability Assessment

Clackamas County is soliciting sealed proposals for a Land Suitability Assessment under solicitation number 2026-39, with a closing date of June 18, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Proposals must be submitted exclusively via the Equity Hub’s Bid Locker portal, and no submissions will be accepted after the deadline or through email. The RFP documents are available for download from OregonBuys, and prospective proposers must register and sign in to access them, becoming part of the Plan Holder’s List. The project involves conducting an Economic Landscape Analysis and Industrial Site Readiness Study to evaluate industrial land availability of five acres or more using GIS-based tools, with deliverables including an ADA-compliant, WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessible interactive GIS tool and a comprehensive report supported by a three-tier stakeholder engagement plan. The estimated contract value is $560,000, and proposers must submit a not-to-exceed price with no CLINs or detailed pricing tables provided in the solicitation. The proposal must not exceed 20 pages, excluding the Proposal Certification, and must be formatted in 11-point font, single-spaced, on 8.5 x 11-inch paper. Evaluation will be based on the Scope of Work (45 points), the proposer’s general background and qualifications (30 points), and fees (25 points), with award determined through a trade-off process that balances technical merit and cost, not on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis. The contract term runs through December 31, 2027, with monthly invoicing and no specified FOB terms or physical delivery location, as services are performance-based. Contractors must comply with Oregon Public Records Act, maintain commercial general liability, professional liability, and automobile insurance as specified, and ensure all personnel undergo criminal background checks. Key personnel must be identified with bios and resumes submitted with the proposal, and subcontractors must be disclosed. The proposal certification requires affirmation of compliance with Oregon tax laws, non-discrimination statutes, and prohibition of collusion, with false certifications punishable under penalty of perjury. The County retains full authority over acceptance, initiation via a Notice to Proceed, and contract modifications. There is no formal FAR or DFARS clause structure, no UEI or CAGE code requirement, and no socioeconomic self-certification form, though participation by minority, women, veteran, and emerging small businesses is encouraged under state law.
