Environmental Permitting On-Call Services

The Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District (UFSWQD) is soliciting proposals for on-call environmental permitting services to provide strategic, technical, and administrative support for its levee and water conveyance system across North Portland, Gresham, Fairview, and Troutdale. The scope of work encompasses three primary areas: permitting and code compliance, regulatory and policy advisory, and wetland and water services, including delineations and fish salvage operations. The selected vendor will be responsible for delivering agency-ready documentation, GIS data in District-compatible formats, and compliance support from project conception through closeout. The contract is established for an initial term of five years, with options to renew for up to three additional years, with work assigned on a task-by-task basis. Award will be granted to the proposer determined to be most advantageous based on a two-phase evaluation consisting of a written proposal and potential interviews. Evaluation criteria focus on firm structure, personnel qualifications, experience, project approach, and team capacity. Proposers must submit a proposal not exceeding 12 pages by October 30th, including a cover letter and specific certifications regarding COBID status, tax compliance, and business integrity. Administrative requirements include monthly invoicing via email and payment through the ACH network. The agreement is subject to annual funding approval by the District's Board of Supervisors or Directors. Compliance with Oregon Revised Statutes regarding tax warranties, labor hours, and waste material recycling is required, and the District maintains the right to terminate the agreement if required professional licenses are suspended or revoked.
