Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Environmental (Home) Modifications,

The Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Aging and People with Disabilities, is seeking qualified construction contractors to establish a pool of providers for Environmental Modifications in consumers' homes. These modifications, which may include wheelchair ramp installations, residential elevators, stair lifts, and kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom remodels, are designed to improve the health, safety, and independence of individuals. The maximum term for the list of qualified contractors is five years. Once established, the agency will award individual projects based on the lowest responsive lump sum bid that meets the specific scope of work and can accommodate the desired start date, typically within 30 days of award. To qualify, applicants must be actively registered and un-suspended with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and provide evidence of necessary plumbing or electrical licenses. Mandatory application requirements include a completed Application and Applicant Certification Form, a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan, and a Responsibility Inquiry. Contractors must maintain public liability, personal injury, and property damage insurance. All work must comply with local building codes and OAR [phone hidden], with modifications exceeding 500 dollars requiring a state-licensed contractor. Final project acceptance is contingent upon the work being completed to the consumer's satisfaction and passing all required onsite inspections.
