Deschutes County is soliciting proposals until 3:00 P.M. PACIFIC TIME, December 30, 2020 for the treatment or removal of hazardous fuels on Deschutes County property and private lands in Deschutes County.  No proposals will be received or considered after that time.

The purpose of this solicitation is to create a pool of contractors qualified to treat and remove hazardous wildland fuels, as described in the Scope of Work, on Deschutes County property and private lands located in Deschutes County. Some of these properties are vacant lots, most will have homes and improvements.  After reviewing proposals the County will identify qualified contractors to be listed in a “qualified pool” for the 2021 calendar year. During such year the County will award multiple service contracts to contractors in the qualified pool, based on County’s determination of “best value” proposals for the particular property or properties to be treated.

Contractors who were selected for the qualified pool in 2020 must reapply to be considered and to be placed on the qualified pool for 2021.  A new retainer agreement will be issued only after review of the most current proposals to determine whether previously submitted and approved qualifications remain the same. For new contractors, if deemed qualified for the pool, a retainer agreement will be issued after review and approval of their proposals.  A standard retainer agreement is available upon request.
