About this file
This is a construction contract template issued by Portland Public Schools (School District No. 1J, Multnomah County, Oregon) for use on construction projects. The contract establishes the framework for construction services, defining the relationship between the District as owner and the selected contractor. The contract encompasses all labor, materials, equipment, tools, permits, fees, licenses, facilities, taxes, transportation, and supervision necessary to complete the work within specified contract time frames. The document references multiple exhibits including General Conditions, Insurance Requirements, Contractor Certification Statement, Career Learning requirements, Workforce Training and Hiring Program specifications, BOLI Prevailing Wage Rates, the contractor's bid response, project manual, drawings, and any addenda. Contract execution requires signature by the Deputy Clerk or authorized designee to be binding on the District. The contract becomes effective on the start date or upon full execution by both parties, whichever is later, and continues through the specified end date unless earlier terminated.
The contract sum is payable based on the project's pricing structure—whether lump sum, unit price, or combination pricing—as adjusted by authorized change orders. Progress payments are due within 30 days of receipt of the contractor's complete application for payment or 15 days from approval, whichever is earlier, with 5% retainage held pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes. The contractor must comply with extensive legal requirements including Oregon Public Contract Code provisions covering non-discrimination, performance and payment bonds (100% of construction cost), prompt payment obligations, prevailing wage requirements for projects exceeding $50,000, workers' compensation, and Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries certifications. The District maintains equity and workforce diversity objectives, requiring an aspirational 18% Certified Business utilization, minimum 20% apprentice labor hours in apprenticeable trades, and 25% minority and 14% female workforce participation on projects exceeding $1,000,000. Contractor must maintain required insurance including workers' compensation, employer's liability, commercial general liability with $1,000,000 per-occurrence limits, automobile liability, and professional liability where applicable. Liquidated damages are assessed at $2,000 per day for failure to achieve substantial completion and $1,500 per day for final completion delays, with a potential 30-day grace period at District discretion.

The District has implemented an online Certified Business utilization tracking system.

• Automated communication with contractors via email regarding reporting status
Prime contractors will be required to use the online system to submit first tier subcontractor data and monthly reports on progress payments to all subcontractors. Subcontractors will be required to use the online system to verify payments received from prime contractors, identify any further tiers of subcontractors, and submit monthly reports on progress payments to their own subcontractors. Prime contractors and subcontractors must access the system at least monthly, when prompted, to manage contract information and provide the required subcontractor and payment information. Prime contractors are responsible for ensuring that all subcontractors comply with the utilization tracking requirements.
The Certified Business utilization tracking system is online at https://pps.diversitysoftware.com. Access information will be provided to the designated point of contact for each contractor after contract award.
