The VA Portland Health Care System (HCS) is seeking to secure a total of 225 parking spaces to accommodate employees during the construction of the Seismic Major project on their Portland campus. Specifically, 125 spaces should be within a 1000-foot walking distance to the OHSU tram, and 100 spots should be similarly close to the #8 Trimet bus line, which has direct access to the campus. The contract for these parking services is set to commence on July 1, 2025, and conclude on June 30, 2026, with options for four additional years. The contracted party is responsible for ensuring all leased parking stalls remain reserved, kept in good condition, and adequately secured, while invoicing VA Portland HCS on a monthly basis. The government is tasked with ensuring its employees treat these facilities appropriately. This RFP outlines the essential parking needs in the context of ongoing construction and reflects the VA's commitment to maintaining employee accessibility and comfort during this period.
