NITA ITB S-63500-00013826 John Day Watershed District Office Improvements.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Administrative Services Division for ITB S-63500-00013826 regarding the John Day Watershed District Office Improvement project. The procurement encompasses a two-phase construction initiative with Phase I involving construction of a new office building and related site improvements, and Phase II consisting of bid alternates for installation of a new shop building and additional site enhancements. The solicitation was posted on September 9, 2025, with a bid submission deadline of October 9, 2025, providing approximately 30 days for bid preparation. ODFW has completed its evaluation of submitted bids and intends to award the contract to McCormack Construction Company of Pendleton, Oregon, which was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. A preliminary bid tabulation has been posted on OregonBuys for public review.

The notice does not provide specific pricing information, though government infrastructure projects of this scale typically range from $500,000 to $2.5 million depending on complexity and site requirements. The project documentation comprises approximately 115MB of materials, including comprehensive plans and specifications (Attachments C-1, C-2, B-1, and B-2) that bidders were required to review. The two-phase approach suggests potential flexibility in project execution and budget phasing. No incumbent vendor information is indicated, suggesting this represents a new construction initiative for ODFW. Standard state procurement requirements for public works projects apply, with contractors required to demonstrate significant construction capabilities, technical understanding of infrastructure development, and compliance with all specified technical and regulatory standards outlined in the ITB documentation.
