Request for Applications (RFA) for lead-based paint remediation services.

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is soliciting applications for certified providers to perform lead-based paint risk assessment and remediation services under solicitation S-44300-00013845. The scope of work is divided into three primary disciplines: Lead Risk Assessment, Lead Abatement and Hazard Control, and Clearance Examiner Services. These services must comply with regulations from HUD, EPA, OSHA, and the OHA, specifically following Oregon Administrative Rule Chapter 333, Division 67. To ensure independence and avoid conflicts of interest, a single contractor is prohibited from performing both risk assessment and abatement, or abatement and clearance examination, on the same project. The OHA intends to establish multiple Price Agreements with responsive and responsible applicants who meet minimum qualifications, including OHA certification and appropriate licensing. These Price Agreements serve as a framework for two years, with renewal options up to ten years, while actual work is assigned through individual Work Order Contracts based on past performance and communication effectiveness. Applicants must submit an application packet via the OregonBuys portal, including certifications regarding tax compliance, non-discrimination, and a responsibility inquiry. Additionally, contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, and Pollution Liability.
