00015272 Addenda 1.docx

This is Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Competitive Quotes issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation for the ESB OR 140 Closure Gates project. The addendum modifies the original RFCQ document (S-73000-00015272) and must be treated as an integral part of the procurement. The project involves fabricating, constructing foundations for, and installing two road closure gates and associated road closure signs along OR 140 Warner Highway between mile posts 38 and 66 in Lake and Harney Counties. The aluminum gates must be manufactured from alloy 6061-T6, and the project requires substantial completion by February 1, 2026, with final completion by February 15, 2026. The bid opening date has been changed to November 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with submission required through the OregonBuys eProcurement system. Bidders must provide three references for comparable projects completed within the past four years and comply with 2024 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction.

The addendum clarifies three critical requirements: aluminum gates do not require powder coating or any paint; a Bid Bond must be submitted with the quote using the form available in the RFCQ Attachments Document (Attachment B); and a First Tier Subcontractor Disclosure form must be submitted either with the quote or by email within two hours of the bid opening. The procurement is exclusively restricted to Emerging Small Business (ESB)-certified contractors, with contractors required to perform at least 51 percent of labor using their own workforce. Evaluation criteria include the lowest responsive bid, valid Construction Contractors Board licensure, and satisfactory performance history. Contractors must maintain performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract value and provide insurance coverages of $1 million per occurrence for commercial general liability and $500,000 for workers' compensation. Liquidated damages are assessed at $300 per calendar day for failing to meet substantial completion dates. The buyer for this procurement is Joni Sirovatka, reachable at Joni.a.sirovatka@odot.oregon.gov or 541-207-7265.
