About this file

This document is a Clarification No. 2 addendum issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for Invitation to Bid No. S-73000-00015265 for a Steel Bridge Ramp Girder Strengthening project located near the Steel Bridge in Portland, Multnomah County. The clarification addresses contractor coordination requirements with entities storing materials beneath the bridge, specifically the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) Structures/Maintenance and the Saturday Market. The original ITB closing date was December 4, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The project scope includes installing internal shear anchors, implementing crack sealing across 150 linear feet, and executing additional incidental work. ODOT has provided updated contact information for coordination purposes, including PBOT representatives Dana Whitley and Stacey Kelly, and Saturday Market contacts Reid Decker and Eric Swenson.

The clarification directly addresses Bid Item 5 regarding crack injection in bridge girders, which requires access to the underside of the bridge currently obstructed by City of Portland event materials and steel grating wall panels. ODOT clarified that the contractor is responsible for coordinating with the City to obtain necessary access permits and to arrange for material removal, consistent with Section B.4 of the State of Oregon General Conditions for Public Improvement Contracts. The City and Market entities are identified as responsible for moving and storing materials, though the contractor must initiate and coordinate these access arrangements. No explicit funding amounts or pricing terms are detailed in this clarification document, which serves primarily as supplementary guidance to the original ITB specifications.

Question #1 - Bid Item 5 is Inject and Seal Cracks and Sheet J01 Note 1 says epoxy inject cracks in girders, as required. The underside of the bridge is currently protected by steel grating wall panels and full of what appears to be City of Portland event materials. In order to perform the crack injection, we would need access to the girders under the bridge. Who is going to move those materials and when? Have arrangements been made with the City to move the materials? Is there any requirement for the contractor to handle, secure, or coordinate anything related to those materials?

Answer #1 – The Contractor will need to coordinate with the City on any access needs. Per the State of Oregon General Conditions for Public Improvement Contracts (GCs), Section B.4 Permits states the Contractor is required to “obtain and pay for all necessary permits and licenses, except for those specifically excluded in the Supplemental General Conditions, for the construction of the Work, for temporary obstructions, enclosures, opening of streets for pipes, walls, utilities, environmental Work, etc., as required for the project.”. ODOT will provide contact information for the City representative for the event materials.
