4579 Fence Repair, Minor Installation, and Removal

Oregon Metro is seeking qualified contractors to provide on-call fence repair, minor installation, and removal services for properties and facilities under its ownership across the Metro Region, including residential sites, parks, cemeteries, boat ramps, and commercial locations. Services include the installation and removal of temporary fencing provided by the contractor. The solicitation, numbered 6083 and titled “4579 Fence Repair, Minor Installation, and Removal,” was posted on May 15, 2026, with proposals due by June 11, 2026. Bidders may respond for residential, commercial, or both service categories. A free bid writing coaching session is available to small businesses that express interest by May 20, 2026, to help them understand and respond to the solicitation requirements. The contract is governed by custom-drafted clauses rather than standardized FAR provisions, with key terms covering indemnification, insurance, termination, labor compliance, subcontractor approval, ownership of deliverables, conflict of interest, equal employment opportunity, drug-free workplace, and nondiscrimination. Insurance requirements include minimum coverage limits, with the County retaining the right to require higher amounts; contractors must name Oregon Metro as an additional insured and carry primary, noncontributory coverage. Subcontracting requires prior written approval, and all work must comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws. The contract is contingent upon annual funding approval and may be terminated by the County with 30 days' notice for convenience. While no formal packaging, marking, or delivery specifications are provided, proposals must adhere to evaluation criteria weighted toward costs and anticipated timeline (30%), minimum qualifications (20%), firm experience (20%), project methodology (20%), and staff experience (10%), with award based on a trade-off process that weighs technical merit against price. Administrative requirements include submission of a W-9 form and an Independent Contractor Form upon award, and electronic signatures are legally binding. No UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic certification is required, though small business participation is encouraged. The place of performance is limited to Oregon, encompassing all Metro-owned properties and facilities.
