BID# 2022-43 Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility (? WRRF? ) Fill Removal

Clackamas County, through Water Environment Services (WES), is seeking sealed bids for the Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) Fill Removal Project, identified as BID #2022-43. The procurement involves the complete removal and disposal of approximately 35,000 cubic yards of fill material previously stockpiled during construction of adjacent facilities in 2008. The project requires contractors to provide all necessary labor, materials, transportation, and equipment to execute the fill removal, with substantial completion required by September 1, 2022, and final completion by October 31, 2022. The bid was publicly noticed on April 14, 2022, with sealed bids due on May 12, 2022, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Bidders must submit a comprehensive bid package including a certification sheet, bid bond, and first-tier subcontractor list. The estimated construction value is $350,000, and the successful bidder will be required to furnish 100% performance and payment bonds. Contractors must also obtain necessary city permits, such as for water usage from adjacent hydrants for dust control and soil preparation.

The county encourages bids from Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Businesses (MWESB) and requires bidders to perform Good Faith Efforts to include certified or self-identified MWESB subcontractors. Builder's risk insurance is mandated for the project. Goodfellow Bros., LLC was identified as the apparent low bidder with a bid amount of $662,500.00, which was higher than the initial estimated construction value. The contract will be awarded in accordance with Local Contract Review Board Rule C-049-0395, with a seven-calendar-day protest period for unsuccessful bidders. Prevailing wage rates will apply to the project, and contractors must comply with all associated labor requirements. No specific incumbent vendors were mentioned, and the project appears to be a standalone fill removal initiative without explicit integration requirements with existing infrastructure.
