About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) in response to inquiries regarding Request for Proposals (RFP) S-73000-00011126 for the St. Helens and Scappoose Refinement Trail Project (SHSRP), posted through the OregonBuys procurement portal. The Q&A document addresses clarifications on project timeline and community engagement scope. Regarding timeline, ODOT clarified that the project will take 1.5 to 2 years from the Notice to Proceed date, with no requirement for an accelerated completion schedule despite earlier language suggesting a Fall 2024 start with completion within two years. The project duration is estimated at 78 weeks (1.5 years) from Notice to Proceed, though ODOT acknowledged flexibility in the actual completion timeframe. The document was issued on December 18, 2024, and represents the first volume of questions and answers available to all interested parties.
Regarding community engagement, ODOT indicated openness to exploring more dynamic and comprehensive community engagement efforts beyond the baseline expectations outlined in the RFP, which initially specified Tasks 3.3 and 3.4 for online and in-person open houses. The agency emphasized that the Public Involvement Plan implementation outlined in Task 2.2 represents minimum requirements, and bidders are encouraged to propose additional engagement methods consistent with the robust public involvement principles highlighted throughout the RFP documentation. This Q&A document does not modify the underlying RFP terms and serves as clarification only; any official changes to the solicitation must be issued as addenda through OregonBuys.

RE: Mini-RFP/ OregonBuys Bid Solicitation Number: S-73000-00011126 St. Helens and Scappoose Refinement Trail Project (SHSRP)
This Questions and Answers document is ODOT’s response to questions asked by parties interested in this Request for Proposals (RFP). The responses are being made available to all parties interested in this RFP. This Questions and Answers document does not change or otherwise modify the RFP documents; the RFP documents can only be changed by Addendum issued on OregonBuys.
Questions and Answers, Vol #1
Q1 Timeline: The timeline discussed on page 4 (“The WOC is anticipated to start Fall 2024 and is expected to be completed within two years”) differs from the project duration listed on page 35 (“The Project duration from NTP is 78 weeks (1.5 years).”). Can you clarify the timeline/project duration? (For example, will the timeline need to be accelerated to finish by Fall 2026 regardless of the start date? Or is the project anticipated to take two years from the start date?)
Response: The project will take 1.5–2 years from the Notice to Proceed date. There is no need for an accelerated finish or due date at this time.
Q2 Community Engagement Scope: Could you provide more details about your expectations for implementing the Public Involvement Plan (Task 2.2)? Are there opportunities to explore other engagement methods beyond Task 3.3 Online Open House #1 and Task 3.4 In-Person Open House #1? We noticed the RFP highlights robust public involvement principles on pages 19, 23, and 24, but the specific implementation strategies seem limited.
Response: Yes, we are open to exploring more dynamic community engagement efforts. These are just baseline expectations.
