Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) is seeking bids for a stormwater retrofit project involving four parking lots near the Yoshida Sports Complex in Multnomah County, Oregon. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) #04102023 requires a comprehensive parking lot renovation that includes removing existing asphalt, excavating underlying soil, and installing new soil and mulch to improve stormwater treatment. The project will require phased construction, with only one parking lot being unavailable at a time, and will involve creating tree trenches, installing concrete curb and gutter systems, and implementing drainage improvements. Bidders must be licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and are subject to prevailing wage requirements. The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 18, 2023, at 9:00 am, with bids due by 2:00 pm PST on May 16, 2023. The anticipated project start date is July 31, 2023, with a completion deadline of September 15, 2023. Bidders will need to submit a public works bond and may be subject to reference and qualification investigations by MHCC.
The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses. From the bid tabulation document, four vendors submitted bids, with PRT Construction LLC offering the lowest total bid of $301,986.00, including a $1,200.00 alternate bid. The contract includes a 5% retainage provision, and any contract modifications must be submitted at least 30 days prior to work performance. No incumbent vendor information is explicitly detailed, and the project appears to be a new infrastructure improvement initiative. The project will require integration with existing parking lot infrastructure and will prepare the sites for future tree planting (which is noted to be a separate contract). While the specific budget range is not comprehensively outlined, the lowest bid suggests the project is valued around $302,000, with potential variations depending on final contractor selection and potential alternate bid considerations.
