The Oregon Invasive Species Council is currently
advertising for a Coordinator position to help
cooperative efforts at preventing and controlling
damaging invasive species in the state of
Oregon. The 17-member OISC was created in 2001
and has had many successful campaigns in
eliminating or mitigating invasive species. For
more on the Council, please visit
<http://www.oregoninvasivespeciescouncil.org/>www.oregoninvasivespeciescouncil.org.
In short, the main duties of the OISC Coordinator are:
· Coordinate, or lead efforts, for key
OISC business (estimated 60% of total duties)
· Pursue outside funding sources to
support OISC business and key initiatives (10%)
· Coordinate outreach and education for
the Council, such as press releases, reports to stakeholders, etc. (10%)
· Serve as the Councils liaison to the
Oregon legislature and the Governors Office (10%)
· Coordinate with neighboring states and
the National Invasive Species Council (5%)
· Meet regularly with the Oregon Dept of
Agriculture for contract reporting (5%)
This vacancy is a contract, salaried position
with a maximum pay rate equivalent to $6,250 per
month. However, since this contract is open for
competitive bidding, the Price Proposal with the
lowest Total Project Rate for the Coordinator
position will be awarded the maximum number of
Price Points available under the RFP. All
contract proposals will be evaluated based on a
number of criteria, including competitive bids.
Funding, and consequently the current open
position, is guaranteed through the end of the
current Oregon fiscal year (June 30,
2015). Beyond that date, funding is pending
approval by the Oregon Legislature of the
recently-released Governors Recommended
Budget. We anticipate, but cannot guaranteed at
this time, full funding for the position for the
next biennium (July 1, 2015 June 30, 2017). The
contract can be automatically renewwed for this
extended time period, given satisfactory job
performance by the incumbent Coordinator and available funds.
