This is a Notice of Cancellation issued by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Contract Services Section regarding Invitation to Bid (ITB) S-63500-00014140 for the Elk River Hatchery New Rearing Ponds project. The solicitation, which sought a contractor to construct two new concrete rearing ponds with associated piping, metal fabrication, and electrical infrastructure improvements at the Elk River Hatchery facility in Port Orford, has been cancelled due to the receipt of no bids. The original procurement had included a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for July 15, 2025, at 10:30 AM, with bid submissions due by July 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The project timeline required concrete and grading completion by October 3, 2025, and substantial completion by April 3, 2026, with bid alternates for two additional ponds and asphaltic paving also included in the original solicitation.

ODFW indicated that the project may be resolicit in the future. The original procurement anticipated State Bond Funding with a project cost estimate range of $1,700,000. Bidders were required to submit bid security equal to 10 percent of their total bid amount, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day assessed for failure to meet substantial completion dates. The notice was issued on August 26, 2025, and does not indicate whether modifications to scope, budget, or timeline will be made if the project is re-advertised.
