Contractor List for Supporting America's Schools Infrastructure Grant

The Oregon Department of Education has issued a Request for Information to establish a list of qualified construction contractors capable of supporting school infrastructure projects funded through the Supporting America's Schools Infrastructure Grant. This non-binding RFI seeks responses from entities interested in providing services such as construction, renovation, repair, and demolition for public school facilities across Oregon, with project values ranging from five to twenty million dollars. The process aims to gather industry input, identify capable contractors, and create a resource list for future solicitations, but it does not guarantee contracts or procurement commitments. Responses are due by September 2, 2025, and the resulting list will be publicly posted by September 15, 2025, remaining accessible through November 14, 2027. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with Oregon statutes governing public works, including bonding requirements for projects over $100,000 and restrictions on non-resident bidders, particularly Education Service Districts. Respondents must submit a Certification of Non-Discrimination and a Disclosure Exemption Affidavit if claiming trade secret status for any submitted information. The process underscores nondiscrimination, accessibility, and confidentiality, requiring responses to be submitted electronically via Microsoft Forms with no page or word limits. The only designated contact is the Single Point of Contact, Igor Antipov, responsible for all communications. The documents do not specify contract clauses, evaluation criteria, pricing details, or performance schedules, as this is solely an informational RFI intended to support future procurement activities.
