Fund Administrator Services

The Eugene Water & Electric Board requires a fund administrator to manage the Carmen-Smith Mitigation Fund. The selected contractor will establish and act as trustee of the fund, maintain financial protocols, invest monies in interest-bearing accounts, seek matching grants, select financial institutions, and distribute funds for aquatic habitat or water quality improvement projects in the McKenzie River Basin. The administrator must also report annually on fund expenditures, project activities, and available balances. The contract term is for one year, and the work requires onsite performance. Proposals must be submitted digitally via the OregonBuys website by November 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST; emailed submittals are not accepted. Eligibility requires onshore U.S. vendors capable of providing the required services and meeting specified insurance coverages, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Employers Liability, and Professional Liability. A voluntary pre-proposal Microsoft Teams video conference is scheduled for October 14, 2026, at 1:00 PM, and all questions must be submitted no later than October 26, 2026. Applicants must submit a proposal to determine the budget.
