This is a Clarification document issued by the State of Oregon for ITB #S-DASOBO-00016020 regarding the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility Infirmary & Pharmacy Renovation project. The clarification addresses five key inquiries from bidders submitted on August 3, 2026, and provides official guidance on project scope and specification requirements. The project involves renovation and expansion of the medical facilities at the Oregon Youth Authority's MacLaren facility, including expansion of the medical lab, security station, medical room and supply areas, receiving/storage area, four patient rooms, shared day room, new nurse station, two supervisor offices, and a meeting room. Critical scope clarifications include confirmation that all skylights and suntunnels are new installations primarily located in the expansion area rather than the renovation area, and that contractors must procure HVAC equipment utilizing R-32 refrigerant or other refrigerants compliant with current environmental regulations and building codes per Section 23 81 29 subsection 2.03.

The clarification establishes that manufacturers may substitute proprietary labeling systems for AWI Certification in cabinetwork (Section 06 41 00) provided they guarantee compliance with or exceed AWI standards. Regarding mechanical systems, contractors must bid the project as outlined in the drawings and specifications, including condensate piping routing to existing hand sink tailpieces in Exam Rooms 60 and 61 without additional plumbing support cost allocation. The document confirms that building permit fees totaling $14,932.89 were paid by the agency on July 22, 2025, while all remaining permits remain the contractor's responsibility as specified in the contract documents.
