S-44300-00001995

Solicitation S-44300-00001995, also identified as OHA-RFA-5171, is a Request for Application issued by the Oregon Health Authority to establish Price Agreements for contractors to provide review services for Waiver and Hazard Assessment Requests. The scope of work involves evaluating Quantitative Exposure Assessments (QEA), Alternatives Assessments (AA), and Hazard Assessments (HA) to determine if they meet the criteria specified in the Oregon Administrative Rules. Successful applicants must demonstrate technical expertise in analyzing leachability, bioavailability, and technical or financial feasibility, and must adhere to GreenScreen methodology for hazard assessments unless an alternative is approved. The agreement is designed for a five-year duration, with specific tasks authorized through project-specific Work Order Contracts. Contractors are compensated at a fixed rate of $200.00 per hour, with payments subject to project-specific budgets. Invoicing requires detailed documentation, including staff names, hours worked in 15-minute increments, and completed review forms, with final invoices due within 45 days of project completion. The Oregon Health Authority may withhold 5% of the final payment until all services are accepted. Applicants must meet Responsible Proposer requirements under ORS 279B.110 and provide evidence of their systems for managing conflicts of interest and protecting confidential business information. Performance is centered at the OHA Public Health Division in Portland, Oregon, and requires compliance with non-discrimination laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
