This Addendum No. 1, dated June 22, 2026, modifies the Request for Competitive Quotes (RFCQ) issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation for the ESB I-5: SB MP 95 Selective Dead Tree Removal Project (RFCQ No. S-73000-00017202). The project requires selective cutting and removal of dead or visibly dying trees and vegetation from ODOT right-of-way along southbound Interstate 5 between mileposts 95.4 and 94.7 in Douglas County. Quotes are due by June 29, 2026, with work scheduled to commence no earlier than September 1, 2026 and must be completed by November 20, 2026. The addendum addresses a critical question regarding the number of trees requiring removal, clarifying that while a significant number of trees will require removal, the site has not been formally scaled. Consequently, potential bidders are required to conduct a field review to determine the scope of work and associated costs. The contact person for this solicitation is Ashley Kallberg, Buyer at the Oregon Department of Transportation, who can be reached at Ashley.kallberg@odot.oregon.gov or 503-986-2710.

The solicitation is exclusively restricted to firms certified as Emerging Small Businesses (ESBs) under Oregon's Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). The contract will be awarded to the responsible, responsive offeror that best serves ODOT's interests based on price and qualifications including experience and expertise on similar projects within the last three years. The pricing structure is a lump sum combining mobilization and selective dead tree removal, with monthly payment by the 10th following Owner's acceptance on net 30-day terms, subject to ODOT's retention of up to five percent. Contractors must perform at least 51 percent of labor using their own workforce and maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate, commercial automobile liability of $1 million combined single limit, and workers' compensation with employer's liability of at least $500,000 per accident.
