26-032-PW Myoak Drive and River Road - Water Main

The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) is seeking sealed bids for the Myoak Drive and River Road Water Main Replacement project located in Lane County, Oregon. This Invitation to Bid (ITB 26-032-PW) procures labor and materials for the installation of approximately 1,150 linear feet of 8-inch diameter ductile iron pipe water main, along with associated infrastructure including five 8-inch diameter gate valves, 400 linear feet of 2-inch diameter HDPE pipe, two fire hydrant assemblies, 26 service connections with fittings, sanitary and storm sewer line repairs totaling 130 linear feet, and concrete and asphalt restoration work with erosion control measures. Prospective bidders must submit sealed bids by March 17, 2026, at the EWEB Roosevelt Operations Center; the Notice to Proceed is anticipated on April 10, 2026, with substantial completion required by August 31, 2026, and final completion by September 30, 2026. Contractors must be registered and bonded with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board or Landscape Contractors Board at the time of bid submission and must demonstrate relevant project experience, specifically three projects involving ductile iron pipe installation and three projects involving waterline installation in a roadway within the past five years. Bid evaluation will prioritize the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications and requirements, with a bid bond of 10 percent of the total bid amount required for bids exceeding $100,000, and performance and payment bonds required at 100 percent of the contract value upon award. Liquidated damages are assessed at $400 per day for failure to achieve substantial completion by August 31, 2026, and an additional $400 per day for failure to achieve final completion by September 30, 2026.

No specific set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are explicitly stated in the procurement documents; however, the project is subject to Oregon prevailing wage requirements and equal employment opportunity and affirmative action requirements applicable to all public works contracts. There are no identified incumbent vendors or current contractors referenced in the bidding documents. EWEB will provide special inspection services including compaction testing and disinfection/water quality testing, while the contractor assumes responsibility for all other testing, construction staking, as-built surveys, erosion and sediment control plan submission, and tracer wire continuity testing. The engineer's estimate for the project is approximately $400,000, which represents the anticipated budget range for this public works water infrastructure improvement.
