BID# 2024-31 Metal Framing, Insulation, and Drywall For Lake Road Health Center

Clackamas County, Oregon is seeking bids for Bid #2024-31, a public improvement contract for metal framing, insulation, and drywall work at the Lake Road Health Center project located in Milwaukie, Oregon. The procurement involves furnishing all necessary labor, materials, transportation, equipment, and services for the specified construction components. Qualified contractors are invited to submit bids for this specialized construction work, with bids due by May 23, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on May 1, 2024, at the project site located at 6605 SE Lake Road. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria focusing on bid price, compliance with specifications, and ability to meet prevailing wage requirements. Bidders must submit a 10% bid security with their proposal and provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their capability to complete the project successfully.

The county actively encourages participation from Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Businesses (MWESB), requiring bidders to perform good faith outreach efforts to solicit quotes from such firms and submit required documentation. Successful bidders must comply with prevailing wage rate requirements and provide both performance and payment bonds. The apparent low bidder is Becmen LLC, with a bid amount of $288,000.00, though no definitive budget range was explicitly stated in the procurement documents. No incumbent vendor was specifically identified, and the contract appears to be a new procurement for a health center construction project. The bid allows for some flexibility, such as the option to use 6-inch metal studs instead of the 5-inch studs originally shown in the blueprints, demonstrating a collaborative approach to meeting project requirements while maintaining competitive bidding standards.
