BID# 2024-100 Lake Road Health Center Drywall

The State of Oregon Department of General Services is soliciting bids for BID #2024-100, a drywall installation and finishing project at the Lake Road Health Center. The procurement involves approximately 25,000 square feet of comprehensive drywall and soundproofing work for an existing state office building. Bidders are required to provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to complete the project, with pricing to be submitted on a fixed unit price basis per square foot of drywall installed and finished. The mandatory pre-bid conference was held on October 5, 2024, with bids due by November 14, 2024, at 2:00 PM local time. The contract is anticipated to be awarded by November 15, 2024, with an initial 12-month term and options to renew for up to two additional 12-month periods. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on competitive pricing, technical capability, and compliance with project specifications. The project requires contractors to demonstrate expertise in large-scale drywall installation and finishing for institutional facilities.

The procurement includes a 15% set-aside goal for small, minority, and women-owned business enterprises, encouraging diverse participation in the bidding process. The current incumbent contractor is Franklin Drywall, Inc., which may provide historical context for potential bidders. The project is funded through the State Capital Improvements Fund, with the Notice of Intent to Award revealing that The Harver Company was selected with a bid amount of $258,134.00. Unsuccessful bidders have a seven-calendar-day protest period following the notice, during which they may review procurement files and submit written protests to the procurement office. The award is contingent upon successful contract negotiations, and the county reserves the right to revoke the award or select the next highest-ranked bidder if initial negotiations fail. Potential respondents must carefully review all documentation and meet the specified qualifications to be considered for this state-funded drywall installation project.
