BID #2025-80 Fairgrounds Rodeo Bleacher Replacement

Clackamas County is seeking sealed bids for the Fairgrounds Rodeo Bleachers Replacement Project (Bid #2025-80), a public improvement contract involving the fabrication, delivery, and installation of new aluminum bleacher seating systems in the Canby Rodeo Arena. The project scope encompasses three bleacher sections with specific dimensions: Section E (121' x 39'), Section A (121' x 44'), and Section D (78' x 44'), all elevated 36 inches. The project requires comprehensive site preparation, including grading, footings, permits, ADA-compliant seating areas, handrails, and egress routes that meet Oregon Structural Specialty Code and IBC/ASTM standards. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the Fairgrounds Rodeo Arena, and electronic bid submissions are due by December 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time through Bid Locker. The project has substantial and final completion dates set for July 30, 2026, with potential timeline adjustments due to aluminum lead times. Contractors must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and comply with all specifications detailed in the bid documents.

The procurement encourages bids from Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Businesses, with good faith effort requirements and mandatory disclosure forms regarding subcontractor participation. Prevailing wage requirements are in effect, as the project exceeds the $50,000 threshold, necessitating compliance with ORS 279C.800 through 279C.870. Contractors must submit payroll certifications to the Bureau of Labor and Industries and obtain public works bonds as required by Oregon law. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are mandatory. An add alternate for stadium-style seating replacing the first four rows of each bleacher section is available for additional pricing. The engineer's estimate for the project is $750,000.00, providing potential bidders with a baseline for budgeting and proposal development. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate their capacity to meet all technical specifications, safety standards, and regulatory requirements for this comprehensive bleacher replacement project.
