BID 2026-50 Clarifying Questions -1.pdf

This is a Clarifying Questions and Answers document issued by Clackamas County Department of Transportation and Development for BID 2026-50, the Leland-Beavercreek Intersection Improvements Project. The document addresses a discrepancy regarding bid items 37, 38, and 39, which pertain to pavement markings at the intersection of S. Leland Road and S. Beavercreek Road in Oregon. The clarification specifies that these items require extruded thermoplastic material rather than paint, with item 37 consisting of 1,090 feet of 6-inch white extruded surface non-profiled markings, item 38 consisting of 234 feet of 4-inch yellow extruded surface non-profiled markings, and item 39 consisting of 245 feet of 4-inch white extruded surface non-profiled markings. The original bid solicitation had a July 15, 2026 deadline at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, and this clarification was issued on July 14, 2026. The county indicated that Addendum #2 would provide updated bid schedules and special provisions to reflect these corrections.

The clarification resolves a specification conflict between the bid schedule description and the referenced specifications document, ensuring bidders have accurate material requirements for their cost estimates. This type of clarification is standard in the bidding process to prevent confusion and ensure fair competition among prequalified contractors in the earthwork, drainage, pavement markings, and signing classifications. No pricing adjustments were noted in this clarification document, though the updated addendum would formally incorporate these material specifications into the contract requirements.
