On-Call Facilitation Services

The Port of Portland is soliciting proposals for On-Call Facilitation Services under a Personal Services Contract with a term extending through January 31, 2032. The Port intends to award contracts to one or more highly qualified providers to deliver services via discrete written Task Orders. Proposals are due by December 3, 2026, and must be submitted as a single zip file through the Port's online bidding system. The evaluation process assigns equal weight of 25% to four key factors: the Shared Prosperity Initiative, provider qualifications, project approach, and cost/fees. The scope of work requires providers to demonstrate expertise in facilitation and Human Resources, with a preference for certifications such as PCC, DiSC, Hogan, or Five Behaviors. Pricing must be structured by half-day in-person facilitation, full-day in-person facilitation, and hourly work. The contract is governed by Oregon law and requires strict adherence to Title VI Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities. Administrative requirements include specific invoicing procedures where each invoice must represent a single Task Order and include detailed budget tracking. Deliverables must meet professional standards and specific technical formats, including PDF, AutoCAD 2023, or MS Excel, depending on the data type.
