Commission approves PBS Engineering expansion tied to $1.6M legislative appropriation
Summary
The Port Commission approved PBS Engineering's expanded post-bid services proposal. The work is funded by a $1.6 million legislative appropriation that expires June 30, 2025; legal counsel recommended revisiting a cancelled ITB as part of next steps.
The Port of Port Orford commission voted to approve PBS Engineering's proposal for an expanded scope of post-bid engineering services tied to a $1.6 million legislative appropriation that expires June 30, 2025. Vice President Clark Kocurek moved to approve the proposal; Commissioners Aaron Ashdown, Clark Kocurek and Rick Fox voted yes and Commissioner Dave Rickel voted no. The motion carried.
Meeting minutes note that legal counsel provided an opinion supporting revisiting a previously cancelled Invitation to Bid (ITB) as part of the implementation path for the engineering work. Commissioners discussed procurement options and whether to reinstate or rebid the ITB. Because of notice requirements, commissioners deferred a final decision on awarding the cancelled ITB to a subsequent regular meeting so the matter can receive proper public notice and a formal vote.
The commission did not specify contract start dates or a final scope tied to the appropriation during the special meeting; staff were directed to proceed with steps needed to align procurement with the expiring legislative appropriation and to return with recommended next steps for formal action.
