About this file

Addendum #2 to Invitation to Bid (ITB) 11658 is issued by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) for the Thompson's Mills State Heritage Site Tailrace Support Column Replacement Project. The project involves repairing and replacing structural elements at the historic site, with work including reinforced concrete, carpentry, and minor steel fabrication. Key details include a mandatory pre-bid conference, no bid bond requirement, and a substantial completion date of May 31, 2025, with a final completion date of June 19, 2025. Bids are due on April 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM through the OregonBuys electronic procurement system. The addendum addresses eight bidder questions regarding project specifics such as insurance, permits, performance bonds, and potential timeline extensions.

The project does not involve retainage on progress payments, and the contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, which will be reimbursed by the owner. No builder's risk insurance will be provided, and the contractor must secure their own coverage. The project has specific technical requirements, including pressure-treated wood and precise structural interventions. Funding is time-sensitive, with project funds expiring on June 30, 2025, necessitating substantial completion prior to that date. The procurement encourages participation from diverse businesses and requires contractors to be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board, with a preference for firms demonstrating experience in historic preservation projects.
