Description
This award is a non‑competitive, special procurement (ORS 279B.085) granting the North Santiam Watershed Council (NSWC) a contract to advance riparian restoration within the North Santiam Watershed. The work is funded by an Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) grant and is limited to activities that support Marion County’s Temperature Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) implementation. The scope includes watershed coordination, shade‑assessment analysis, landowner outreach, field verification, restoration planning, and reporting. Because the procurement is a sole‑source award, no other vendors are being solicited for this work. The contract must be completed by March 31 2029, aligning with the grant period.
• Conduct GIS‑based review of priority streamside areas and assess shade‑enhancement opportunities.
• Perform landowner outreach, voluntary participation tracking, and site visits to document conditions and constraints.
• Develop project‑ready restoration designs, cost estimates, and a Streamside Evaluation and Implementation Plan.
• Provide all required documentation and reports for the OWEB grant.
• Coordinate with Marion County Public Works for approvals and payment for completed, approved work.
