BEH advises clients regarding all aspects of the Oregon Public Contracting Code and the requirements it imposes on their procurement of personal services, construction services, and goods and trade services. Over the years, we have developed a comprehensive set of local procurement rules and have adapted them for many of our clients. This has enabled each of these clients to establish extensive new regulations at a very reasonable cost.

We routinely assist client with developing complex solicitation documents and advise our clients on the competitive bidding process, design-build alternatives, and CM/GC approach to larger public construction projects. In addition, we assist our clients in the handling of bid protests, bidding irregularities, and litigation arising out of the award or performance of public contracts. We also assist contract managers with the negotiation of requested revisions to standard contract language and in evaluating the risks related to proposed deviations from the requirements in those contracts.
