2021 Manhole Rehabilitation Project P21168

The City of Springfield, Oregon is seeking bids for the 2021 Maintenance Hole Rehabilitation Project (Project No. P21168), a public infrastructure improvement initiative located within Lane County. The procurement involves replacing frames and lids for 10 maintenance access holes along South A/Main Street, with additional scope including retrieval of a video inspection camera from a sanitary sewer service lateral. Construction activities will specifically encompass saw-cutting, excavation, pipe repair, and asphalt restoration, all within ODOT right-of-way. Contractors must possess valid state licensing and comply with prevailing wage rate requirements. The bidding process requires sealed bids to be submitted by December 1st, 2021 at 2:00 p.m., with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for November 22nd, 2021. Bidders must obtain bid documents for a non-refundable $10.00 fee, with abridged documents available online but not acceptable for formal bid submission. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may waive minor administrative irregularities in the submission process.

The City of Springfield actively encourages participation from minority, woman-owned, and emerging small businesses in this infrastructure project. While no specific set-aside percentages were explicitly detailed, the procurement language suggests a commitment to diverse vendor participation. No incumbent vendors were identified in the documentation, and no specific budget range was provided for the project. The project will require coordination with ODOT, as an ODOT miscellaneous permit has been approved, with specific requirements that lanes must be reopened by 2 p.m. to avoid disrupting commuter traffic. Potential bidders should note the project's location within ODOT right-of-way and the associated permitting requirements. The procurement appears designed to be competitive and accessible to qualified contractors capable of executing the precise infrastructure rehabilitation specifications outlined in the invitation to bid.
