About this file

This document is Addendum Number 1 for Invitation to Bid #2025-48 issued by Clackamas County for the Johnson Creek Blvd (79th Pl to ECM) Improvements Project. The addendum, dated June 4, 2025, modifies the original bid documents by introducing a detailed asphalt cement material price escalation/de-escalation clause that will be in effect for the duration of the contract. The addendum specifically outlines the methodology for calculating monthly asphalt cement material prices (MACMP) using pricing data from Poten & Partners, Inc. for either the Portland, Oregon or Boise, Idaho areas, depending on the project site's location.

The price adjustment mechanism allows for monthly variations in asphalt cement prices, with adjustments triggered when the monthly price deviates more than 5% from the base price established at the time of bid opening. The addendum identifies one specific pay item subject to these price adjustments: LEVEL 3, 1/2 INCH, PG 70-22ER ACP MIXTURE. The Agency reserves the right to select an alternative price source if the current weekly prices become unavailable, and explicitly states that it does not guarantee asphalt cement availability at the specified monthly prices. Contractors are required to factor these potential price fluctuations into their bid submissions for the infrastructure improvement project.

INVITATION TO BID #2025-48

Johnson Creek Blvd (79th Pl to ECM) Improvements Project

ADDENDUM NUMBER 1

June 4, 2025

On May 20, 2025, Clackamas County (“County”) published Invitation to Bid #2025-48 (“BID”).

The County has found that it is in its interest to amend the BID through the issuance of this

Addendum #1. Except as expressly amended below, all other terms and conditions of the original

BID and subsequent Addenda shall remain unchanged.

The following changes are made to the Project Special Provisions:

1. Subsection 00195.10 Payment for Changes in Materials Costs – Replace this subsection with the following subsection:

00195.10 Asphalt Cement Material Price Escalation/De-escalation - An asphalt cement escalation/de-escalation clause will be in effect during the life of the Contract.

The Agency reserves all of its rights under the Contract, including, but not limited to, its rights for suspension of the Work under 00180.70 and its rights for termination of the Contract under 00180.90, and this escalation/de-escalation provision shall not limit those rights.

(a) Monthly Asphalt Cement Material Price (MACMP) - The Monthly Asphalt Cement

Material Price (MACMP) is established by the Agency each month. For the actual MACMP, go to the Agency website at:

https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/Business/Pages/Asphalt-Fuel-Price.aspx

The MACMP is based on selling prices of asphalt cement published by Poten & Partners, Inc.

for primarily PG 64-22 paving grades in the Portland, Oregon area and typical non-modified paving grades in the Boise, Idaho area. The MACMP for a given month is the average of the weekly published prices for each area reported each Friday in that month. If any portion of the

Project Site is located within the boundaries of ODOT Maintenance District 13 or 14, the

MACMP will be based on the prices for the Boise, Idaho area. If no portion of the Project Site is within the boundaries of ODOT Maintenance District 13 or 14, the Contractor may elect to have the MACMP based on the prices of either the Portland, Oregon area or the Boise, Idaho area. If electing to use Boise, Idaho area prices for determination of the MACMP, the

Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of the Contractor’s election before or within

7 Calendar Days after the date of the preconstruction conference. This election, once acknowledged by the Engineer, will be binding for the entire duration of the Contract. If no such written notification is made, the Portland, Oregon area prices will be used as the basis of the MACMP. The area selected as the basis of the MACMP, once chosen, will become the sole area to be used as the basis for all asphalt cement used on the Project.

If the weekly prices cease to be available from Poten & Partners, Inc. for any reason, the

Agency, in its discretion will select and begin using a substitute price source or index to establish the MACMP each month. The Agency does not guarantee that asphalt cement will be available at the MACMP.

(b) Base Asphalt Cement Material Price (Base) - The base asphalt cement material price for this Project is the MACMP published on the Agency website for the month immediately preceding the Bid Opening date.

(c) Monthly Asphalt Cement Adjustment Factor - The monthly asphalt cement adjustment factor will be determined each month as follows:

• If the MACMP is within ± 5% of the Base, there will be no adjustment.

• If the MACMP is more than 105% of the Base, then:

Adjustment Factor = (MACMP) - (1.05 x Base)

• If the MACMP is less than 95% of the Base, then:

Adjustment Factor = (MACMP) - (0.95 x Base)

(d) Asphalt Cement Price Adjustment - A price adjustment will be made for the items containing asphalt cement listed below. The price adjustment as calculated in (c) above will use the MACMP for the month the asphalt is incorporated into the Project. The price adjustment will be determined by multiplying the asphalt incorporated during the month for subject Pay Items by the Adjustment Factor.

The Pay Items for which price adjustments will be made are:

Pay Items

LEVEL 3, 1/2 INCH, PG 70-22ER ACP MIXTURE

These changes will be included in the Contract for this Project. It is understood that your Bid will be submitted accordingly.
