REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
METRO ZOO
On-Call Special Inspection Services at the
Oregon Zoo
RFP 13-2163
The Oregon Zoo, a department of Metro, a metropolitan
service district organized under the laws of the State of
Oregon and the Metro Charter, located at 600 NE Grand
Avenue, Portland, OR 97232-2736, is requesting pro-
posals for On-Call Special Inspection Services at the
Oregon Zoo.
Sealed proposals are due close of business Tuesday,
August 14, 2012, in Metro’s business offices at 600 NE
Grand Avenue, Portland, OR 97232-2736, Attention:
Karen Slusarenko, RFP 13-2163.
Metro is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide
services, as outlined in the Professional Services Con-
tract (Appendix A to the RFP), including but not limited
to: Concrete Pour Observation; Slump, Air, Temperature
Testing; Concrete Compression Tests; Reinforcing Steel;
Bolts; Field Welding Observation; Shop Welding Obser-
vation; Steel Placement and Connections; and Other
Inspection Services as Required by the Contract Docu-
ments. Provide reports and final letter as required by the
City of Portland Bureau of Development Services and
the contract documents.
All proposers, both prime and sub consultants, must reg-
ister with ARC-Oregon. To register for this RFP contact
ARC-Oregon’s Document Control Department, pdx.plan-
well@e-arc.com, 503-227-3424.

posal.”
file registration documents.
Ken Ortiz, the chief of staff at the
New Mexico secretary of state’s
office, said some noncitizens have
contacted the state asking why they
received the forms when they’d previ-
ously been told that they could not
vote.
``We fear that some of these individ-
uals who receive this mailing may feel
that they are being encouraged to vote
by our office or county government,’’
Ortiz said.
The mailings appear official, arriv-
ing in privacy envelopes with the
headline ``VOTER REGISTRATION
DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED.’’ Some
information is already completed on
the voter registration papers, and
recipients also get an envelope to send
completed forms to local elections
officials.
Election leaders in Florida, another
major swing state, also said they were
receiving complaints about applica-
tions going to dead people, nonciti-
zens, minors and pets.
The Voter Participation Center
works with a vendor that has access to
multiple commercial databases that
could include people who subscribe to
magazines or junk mail using names of
their pet, said Page Gardner, the
group’s president. She said the non-
profit tries its best to target only eligi-
ble and unregistered voters but that
some other names inevitably get on the
final list.
``Is it a perfect process? No,’’ Gard-
ner said. Ultimately, she said they rely
on the integrity of people and the secu-
rity of the system and notes that the
same forms are available to anyone at
county offices or on the Internet.
The Voter Participation Center says
it is trying to increase participation
among minorities, unmarried women
and people under the age of 30, with
Gardner saying that those groups have
historically been underrepresented in
the election process.
