How to bid on Informing Best Practices for Oregon GRSG Mitigation Program with ODFW
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking proposals for a retrospective review of state Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) mitigation programs. This work aims to inform and improve Oregon's own GRSG Mitigation Program on both private and public lands across the Western U.S.
The selected vendor will analyze existing state GRSG mitigation programs, comparing their structures, legal foundations, mitigation practices, and how they develop and exchange credits. The goal is to provide ODFW with recommendations to enhance their program, focusing on landscape values and the full mitigation hierarchy, from avoiding impacts to compensatory mitigation.
