2025-35 Notice of Intent to Award signed.pdf

This document is a Notice of Intent to Award Contract issued by Clackamas County Procurement & Contracting Services for Bid #2025-35, the Marquam Sand Shed and Retaining Wall Project. The county intends to award the contract to Central Builders LLC for a bid amount of $278,566.45, which is lower than the engineer's estimated project value of $350,000. The project involves comprehensive site development at 9324 S Wildcat Rd in Molalla, Oregon, including site clearing, grading, excavation, and installation of approximately 255 linear feet of eco-block retaining wall and a 60x100x9 foot pole-barn style sand shed. The project is targeted for substantial completion by November 1, 2025, with final completion by November 15, 2025.

The Notice of Intent to Award Contract initiates a seven-calendar day protest period for unsuccessful bidders, during which they may review the procurement file and submit written protests via email. The procurement specifically encourages participation from Historically Underrepresented Businesses, including state-certified minority, women, and emerging small businesses. Contractors must be registered with the Construction Contractors Board and provide proof of worker's compensation coverage. Prevailing wage rates will apply, and Clackamas County will provide 120V power, with the contractor responsible for establishing potable water and sanitation services. The project site covers 5 acres (217,815 square feet) and requires compliance with the 2022 Oregon Structural Specialty Code and 2021 International Building Code, addressing complex loading scenarios including wind (98 mph) and snow load (25 psf).
