Big Creek Dam No. 2 Hazard Mitigation and Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project.

The City of Newport is seeking Statements of Qualifications from qualified engineering firms to provide professional services for the Big Creek Dam No. 2 Hazard Mitigation and Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project, with an immediate focus on rehabilitating the spillway and 30-inch outlet conduit based on a May 2025 hydraulic assessment. The project scope includes analysis, design, permitting, and preparation of construction documents to address dam safety deficiencies, with potential future services for additional infrastructure upgrades. The contract, governed by Oregon public contracting laws, is valued between 5 and 15 million dollars and emphasizes compliance with state statutes, non-discrimination, and environmental regulations. The selection process is qualifications-based, evaluating firms on project understanding, relevant experience, long-term safety approach, and references, with the highest-scoring firm invited to negotiate a contract. The RFQ deadline is September 30, 2025, and submissions must be concise, limited to ten pages, and can be delivered either in hard copy or electronically, with contact details provided for inquiries. The contract incorporates Oregon statutes and city-specific provisions, emphasizing legal compliance, audit rights, and the inclusion of subcontractor provisions per ORS 279C.580. It contains no federal FAR clauses, security clearances, or explicit performance schedules, leaving project timelines to be defined in subsequent task orders. Payment is structured on a time-and-materials basis, with rates specified in an attached fee schedule, and invoices must be detailed and certified. The agreement grants the city broad rights for inspection, audit, and cancellation if performance fails to meet contractual standards. There are no explicit packaging, marking, or shipping requirements; the focus remains on professional engineering services, with project delivery expected at the dam site in Newport, Oregon. The contract also includes provisions for amendments, optional contingency tasks, and confidentiality, but does not specify federal contract forms or security requirements beyond general compliance with state laws.
