Notice of Coop for PNW Locating.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Purchase filed by Clackamas County's Department of Transportation and Development through its Procurement Division, notifying the public of the county's intent to procure underground utility locating services via a cooperative contract. The county intends to purchase utility locating services through Cooperative Contract #B40389 (ORBuys Number: PO-73000-00031758), which is an ODOT Region 1 Utility Locating Services agreement. The estimated total purchase value is $250,000 over a two-year contract period. Vendors have the opportunity to submit comments regarding this notice of intent to the Procurement Analyst, Tralee Whitley, at Twhitley@clackamas.us, with comments required to be received by 5:00 PM within seven calendar days from the notice issuance date of May 15, 2025.

This notice is filed in accordance with Local Contract Review Board Rules C-046-0440. The procurement utilizes an existing cooperative contract mechanism rather than conducting a competitive solicitation, which streamlines the purchasing process for the county. The cooperative contract approach allows Clackamas County to leverage established pricing and terms already negotiated through the ODOT Region 1 framework, reducing procurement timelines while maintaining compliance with local contracting rules.
