Is HACSA a government agency? Are there special rules I have to follow?
HACSA is a Public Housing Authority organized under Oregon state law (ORS Chapter 456). It is a public corporation, exempt from income taxation under Internal Revenue code Section 501 (c) (1) (A). Work contracted out by HACSA often involves Federal or State funds. As a consequence, HACSA must follow a variety of rules and regulations including procurement procedures, wage reporting, etc.

These rules are outlined in HACSA bid packages and manuals for each contracted project. Further information can be obtained from the Contract Administrator for the project.

What kind of insurance coverage do I need to contract with HACSA?
Contractors performing work on HACSA sites are required to have their insurance companies provide a Certificate of Insurance for specific coverages. The Certificate(s) must be submitted prior to authorization of a contract or purchase order. Such certificates can be submitted to the Agency in anticipation of future work.

General Liability: $500,000 - $1,000,000 combined single limit or greater, with HACSA listed as named insured with attached endorsement sheet.

Auto Liability: $500,000 combined single limit or greater, for any vehicle traveling to the work site.

Worker’s Compensation: As required by the State of Oregon.

How do I get on HACSA's bid list?
A formal pre-qualified bidder’s list is not maintained by HACSA. Advertisements are often placed in the Register Guard, and larger construction projects are filed with the Eugene Builders Exchange.
