25PW15 - Parrott Creek Culvert Replacements

The City of Roseburg Public Works Department is seeking sealed bids for Project 25PW15, a public works construction contract for the replacement of culverts along Parrott Creek in southeast Roseburg, Oregon. The project involves replacing four existing 72-inch diameter corrugated metal pipe culverts with precast reinforced concrete three-sided box culverts (14 feet wide by 6-7 feet tall) at four locations along Eddy Street, Kane Street, Giles Street, and Ichabod Street, with the base bid covering three crossings and an additive alternate covering the Ichabod Street location. The scope of work includes removal of existing culverts, installation of new structures with precast footings and wingwalls, reconstruction of sanitary and storm sewer systems, water line modifications, roadway repaving with dense-grade asphalt concrete, installation of Ultrablock retaining walls with chainlink fencing, erosion control measures including matting with compost blankets and permanent seeding, and stream restoration with engineered streambed material. The base bid encompasses approximately 80 feet of 14-foot span by 7-foot rise culvert, 65 feet of 14-foot span by 6-foot rise culvert, 500 feet of 12-inch storm sewer pipe, 3,000 cubic yards of excavation, and 2,250 square feet of concrete block mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, with public opening following immediately thereafter, and first-tier subcontractor disclosure forms must be submitted within two hours of the bid deadline. Contractors must be licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and pre-qualified at least ten days prior to bid opening, must submit a bid bond equal to 10 percent of the total bid amount, and must maintain commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 aggregate. Contract completion is required by November 1, 2026, with all work except planting to be finished by that date, and liquidated damages are assessed at $500 per day for failure to meet the deadline.

The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 279C.800-279C.870) and potentially federal Davis-Bacon Act requirements, with contractors required to pay the higher of applicable state or federal prevailing rates. A $30,000 Public Works Bond with the Construction Contractors Board is required prior to beginning work unless the contractor qualifies as a disadvantaged, minority, women, disabled veteran, or emerging small business enterprise certified under ORS 200.055, in which case the bonding requirement may be waived. The project design references the 2024 Edition of the Standard Specifications for Construction prepared by the Oregon Department of Transportation and the American Public Works Association Oregon Chapter, and all work must comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws and environmental compliance requirements including fish and aquatic organism protection, erosion and sediment control, turbidity monitoring, and water quality standards, with in-water work restricted to the July 1 to September 15 window. The geotechnical investigation identified moderately expansive clayey soils requiring specialized site preparation and fill placement procedures, seismic design category D classification, and high flooding risk necessitating comprehensive dewatering measures during wet-season construction. The specific budget or award value for this project has not been disclosed in the available procurement documents; however, the scope of work involving multiple culvert replacements, utility coordination, retaining walls, and comprehensive erosion control measures suggests a substantial capital project typical of municipal infrastructure improvements. The City of Roseburg is responsible for obtaining rights-of-way permits and easements, while contractors must obtain all other necessary permits and licenses at their own expense.
