IMPORTANT NOTICE: Any contact regarding this RFP should be by email to proposals@pdx.edu. Emails sent to any other email address will not be accepted or acknowledged. PSU is seeking proposals ("Proposals") from qualified contractors ("Contractor" or "Proposer") to enter
into an On Call Agreement to provide construction related services to PSU. Successful Proposers (each a
"Contractor") must be qualified to perform at least one of the types of construction-related services
sought ("Service Categories") as listed in Appendix 4.6, Information Form (collectively, "Work").
Successful Proposers may enter into an On Call Agreement ("On Call Agreement") effective on the date
the On Call Agreement is signed by both parties. Contractors who have an active On Call Agreement may
be directly awarded Work or may be eligible to bid on Work according to the criteria set forth under
Section 1.2.1, Contracting Methods. Some contracting opportunities for Work may only be available to
Contractors under an On Call Agreement. While Contractors may be awarded multiple Work
Authorizations or Task Orders during the Term of the Agreement, they are not guaranteed Work. It is
possible that no Work Authorization or Task Order is issued during the Term of the On Call Agreement.
PSU is issuing this Request for Proposals ("RFP") pursuant to PSU Standard 580-063-0020(5). Capitalized
terms used, but not defined, in this RFP or the PSU General Conditions have the meanings set forth in PSU
Standards 580-061 and 580-063. PSU Standards 580-061 and 580-063 govern the PSU capital construction
procurement processes.
Types of services sought ("Service Categories") are listed in Appendix 4.6, Information Form. Proposals
will be accepted as set forth in Section 1.3. Proposers may check only those Service Categories that the
Proposer directly performs. Sub-contracting of Work performed pursuant to the On Call Agreement will
only be allowed for work awarded under the Service Category of "General Contractor." At the discretion
of PSU, Contractors may be removed from Service Categories that they do not directly perform.
This RFP does not commit PSU to enter into any agreement, to pay any expenses incurred in preparation
of any response to this RFP, or to procure or contract for any supplies, goods or services. PSU reserves
the right without liability to PSU, to cancel this RFP or to reject any proposal that does not comply with
this RFP or applicable rules, and to reject any and all responses received as a result of this RFP upon a
finding that it is in the public interest to do so.
A sample copy of the On Call Agreement is attached to this RFP (Appendix 4.3). PSU reserves the right to
enter into negotiations regarding rates submitted via Appendix 4.7, Rates and Fees Form, and other terms
before entering into an On Call Agreement. The final On Call Agreement is subject to change by PSU but
shall be substantially similar to the sample agreement. PSU reserves the right to award On Call
Agreements to multiple Contractors within the same Service Category. Questions and requests for clarifications or changes from Proposers regarding this RFP must be received
in writing via email at proposals@pdx.edu. Emails should include the reasons for the request and any
proposed changes.
All questions and requests that are timely received will be answered via addenda to the RFP. Other
information and responses, written or oral, which are not contained in official written addenda to the RFP
from PSU or any other source, are not binding on PSU.
