SECTION 1.0SOLICITATION INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS
1.1SUMMARY OVERVIEW AND WORK ORDER CONTRACT (“WOC”) OBJECTIVES

Oregon Department of Transportation (“Agency” or “ODOT") is requesting supplemental information regarding specific A&E and Related Services experience relevant to the above referenced public improvement project (the “Project”).

Project Purpose The 70-year-old I-84 (Westbound) Union Pacific Railroad (“UPRR”) Bridge is a curved steel girder bridge in poor condition, with cracks and large temporary patches. Several of the bridge bents, which are part of the bridge supports, do not support the full width of the bridge. Due to the structure’s condition, the bridge cannot be repaired and seismically retrofitted.

The selected Proposer shall work with and support an Agency-led interdisciplinary project team to design a displacement-based seismically-resilient bridge to replace the I-84 UPRR Bridge.

The resulting project from these bridge and structures engineering and drafting support services is intended to be a bridge replacement of the I-84 UPRR Bridge.

Project Objectives Design a new seismically-resilient bridge that:

· Improves earthquake resilience of this lifeline route which allows emergency services to respond after an earthquake;

· Smooths the ride for travelers;

· Provides wider shoulder for emergency use and cyclists; and

· Improves the resiliency of this critical economical and international trade route.

The expected outcome of the WOC is to obtain bridge and structures engineering and drafting support services for the resulting I-84 UPRR Bridge replacement project, including, but not limited to, design services for Design Acceptance Plans (“DAP”), Preliminary Plans, Advance Plans, and Final Plans, Specifications & Estimates (“PS&E”) and meet all key objectives identified within the scope of services set forth in Mini-RFP Attachment B - Statement of Work (the “Services”). Proposers responding to the Mini-RFP do so solely at their expense. Agency is not responsible for any Proposer expenses associated with the Mini-RFP.

The selected Proposer and Agency will negotiate the delivery schedule, costs and final Statement of Work, within the scope of Services set forth below and in Mini-RFP Attachment B – Statement of Work, for inclusion in the final WOC:

A&E and Related Services related to bridge and structures engineering and drafting support, including, but not limited to:

· Bridge quality control checking;

· Bridge load rating;

· Bridge design CAD drafting;

· Design assistance, including but not limited to superstructure and substructure design; and

· Advertisement and construction support, including but not limited to reviewing shop drawings and making plan revisions.

The WOC is anticipated to start within 30 days following notice to proceed and is expected to be completed within 3 years from notice to proceed. Pending successful negotiations, the selected Proposer shall perform its obligations according to the WOC and applicable terms and conditions of the parent PA and exhibits thereto. Agency anticipates the construction budget for this Project will not exceed $500,000.

Funding Source(s):

· FHWA

· State WOC Payment. Payment will be made for completion of, or acceptable monthly progress on, tasks and deliverables in conformance with PA requirements and all applicable standards. The method of compensation will be determined by Agency and may be based on any of the following methods (may include more than 1 method – “Mixed”):

· Cost Plus Fixed-fee, up to a maximum NTE amount;

· Fixed Price for all Services; Fixed Price per Deliverable; Fixed Price per Milestone;

· Time and Materials, up to a maximum NTE amount;

· Price per Unit.

For further information see PA Exhibit B “Compensation”.

Offer Period: A Proposer's Proposal is a firm offer, irrevocable, valid and binding on the Proposer for not less than 180 days following the closing date for this Mini-RFP. Agency may request, either orally or in writing, that Proposer extend the offer period in writing.

Contingent upon Agency need and available funding, Agency may (for up to 9 months following the close of this Mini-RFP), in Agency’s sole discretion, make additional award(s). Agency may select the next ranked responsible Proposer who has submitted a responsive proposal (provided Proposer agrees to an extended offer period, which would cover the balance of the 9 months, if at that time the offer period stated in the paragraph above has expired or soon will expire), issue an intent to award and begin a new selection protest period. If agreement with that Proposer is not reached, Agency may offer award to the next ranked Proposer and so on until agreement is reached or until Agency terminates the process. Agency reserves the right to require confirmation of the qualifications of any Proposer.

Future Work Limitations: (For these purposes, “Affiliate” or “Affiliates” of a consultant means any Person or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common ownership or control with that consultant.)

· If a consultant is awarded a WOC to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement, Environmental Assessment, Categorical Exclusion or designs and plans/specifications for a project, that consultant and its Affiliates will not be eligible to propose/bid on or enter into a contract to construct that project.

· If a consultant is awarded a WOC to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement, Environmental Assessment or Categorical Exclusion for a project, that consultant and its Affiliates may prepare the designs/plans/specifications for the project or may propose under a separate solicitation to prepare designs/plans/specifications for the project only if Agency concludes that the NEPA document was prepared with objectivity. Agency is not obligated to proceed with final design for any alternative. All reasonable alternatives will be evaluated and given appropriate consideration, and consultant may not proceed with final design until the relevant NEPA decision documents have been issued (e.g., Categorical Exclusion, Finding of No Significant Impact, or Record of Decision).

· If a consultant or an affiliate of consultant enters into a WOC or other contract for the purposes of administering, managing, monitoring, inspecting, evaluating compliance with or otherwise overseeing a public contract, that consultant or an affiliate of that consultant will not be eligible to enter into a public contract that is subject to administration, management, monitoring, inspection, evaluation or oversight by means of the personal services. See ORS 279C.307, and 279C.307(3) regarding possible Agency applications for exceptions.

· If a consultant or any associate of consultant enters into a WOC or other contract with Agency for the purpose of advising or assisting in developing specifications, a scope or statement of work, an invitation to bid, a request for proposals or other solicitation documents and materials related to a given procurement, the consultant may not be eligible to propose/bid on the prospective procurement (based on a case-by-case assessment by Agency).
