6 Bay Garage Concrete Floor

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking a contractor to pour and finish a new concrete floor for the 6-bay garage at the Summer Lake Wildlife Area in Lake County, Oregon. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) encompasses three primary components: interior concrete slab installation (1,342 square feet), exterior concrete slab installation (460 square feet), and an optional bid alternate for replacing an existing concrete apron (120 square feet). The project requires a 4-inch thick concrete slab with specific finishing requirements, including a slick trowel finish for the interior and a broom finish for the exterior. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for March 11, 2025, at 12:30 PM on-site, with questions due by March 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The bid opening is set for March 20, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with project completion deadlines of substantial completion by June 25, 2025, and final completion by June 30, 2025. Bidders must submit references from three similar projects completed within the last 5 years and demonstrate the ability to meet technical specifications including concrete placement, reinforcement, and quality control measures.

The contract opportunity includes several special considerations and requirements. It is funded through a US Fish and Wildlife Service Formula Grant (F24AF02407) and is subject to Build America, Buy America Act requirements, mandating that all materials be produced in the United States. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including workers' compensation and commercial general liability ($1M per occurrence/$2M aggregate). The project incorporates provisions for disadvantaged business outreach and contractor responsibility verification, with pay equity certification required. Prevailing wage rates will apply if the bid exceeds $50,000, and liquidated damages of $500 per day will be assessed for failure to meet completion dates. The project estimate for bonding purposes is $30,000, with the state reserving the right to adjust quantities or remove items to meet budgetary constraints. Notably, the 6-bay garage is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, requiring careful adherence to preservation guidelines during construction.
