About this file
This is a Clarification document dated August 7, 2026, issued by the State of Oregon for ITB #S-DASOBO-00016020 regarding the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility Infirmary & Pharmacy Renovation project. The clarification addresses 26 questions submitted by bidders and provides updated guidance on materials, specifications, and project scope. Key clarifications include: acceptance of Acuity Brands Lithonia BLT 2X2 Troffer as an approved equal for lighting fixtures; approval of IB Roof Systems as an alternative to the specified TPO roofing membrane (Carlisle, GAF, GenFlex, and Versico); confirmation that site drainage pricing should be included in the base bid rather than as a separate agreement; updated door hardware specifications and door schedule details; clarification that civil and geotechnical drawings are not available but reference documents have been added via Addendum 1; confirmation that the electrical transformer is 75kVA (not 112.5kVA) with Portland General Electric as the utility provider; confirmation that institutional sprinkler heads are required for all new sprinklers as part of the design-build scope; and rejection of Elevate roofing materials as a substitute due to failure to meet ASTM D6878 testing requirements. The document includes photographs of the existing fire sprinkler riser room and roof conditions to assist bidders in understanding existing site conditions.
The clarification confirms that the contractor is responsible for removal and installation of primary and secondary electrical conductors and transformer relocation, with reference to specific flag notes and the one-line diagram. Bidders are directed to rely on the updated door schedule on sheet A8.01 and revised hardware specifications in Section 08 71 00 per Addendum 1 when conflicts exist between the specifications and drawings. The clarification specifies that HVAC air-distribution system cleaning applies only to the dental space portion of the project, and that opening #43 should be constructed as a frameless opening with gypsum wall framing rather than a cased opening. For the alternate foundation plan referencing potential ungrouted walls, bidders are instructed to incorporate those costs into their bids without specification or drawing modifications from the design team.
