Beaverton Safe Parking RFP

The City of Beaverton is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 27-003 to secure management services for a free safe parking program. This initiative is a critical component of the city's homelessness response, specifically designed to support unhoused individuals living in their vehicles. The selected consultant will be responsible for comprehensive site management, including participant enrollment, parking space assignment, staffing open hours, and the maintenance of bathroom, handwashing, and trash facilities. The contract is intended to be awarded to a single vendor who demonstrates the most advantageous combination of specialized skill, knowledge, and resources, with evaluation factors focusing heavily on the firm's knowledge, experience, and qualifications. The procurement process requires proposals to be submitted via the OpenGov portal by December 1, 2026, and must adhere to a strict 10-page limit. The City emphasizes inclusivity and encourages participation from firms certified by the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity. Awarded contractors must operate as independent contractors, maintain specific insurance coverages, and comply with Oregon's public records and non-discrimination laws. The contract includes a non-appropriation clause for terms exceeding one year, meaning continued funding is contingent upon new appropriations for each succeeding fiscal period. Administration of the program will be led by Community Services and Homelessness Program Manager Chad Stover.
