The City of Salem, located in Marion County, Oregon, is conducting a competitive bid process (Bid No. 223121) for a comprehensive Scattered Sites - Siding, Window, & Doors Replacement Project for multiple residential properties.

The project's technical specifications require removing existing exterior materials, inspecting and potentially replacing up to 20% of exterior plywood sheathing, installing new cementitious lap siding, vinyl windows, and exterior doors with specific architectural requirements. A mandatory site orientation and pre-bid conference were conducted, with the bid submission deadline set for January 31, 2023, at 2:30 PM local time. Bidders were required to submit comprehensive documentation including bid bonds, contractor disclosure forms, and Section 3 certification.

Six vendors submitted bids for this project, with pricing ranging from $280,000 to $739,000 for the total lump sum contract. The City of Salem intends to award the contract to JCR Construction, LLC on February 13, 2023, following a competitive bidding process. While specific set-aside designations were not explicitly detailed, the bid documents suggest potential preferences for local or disadvantaged business enterprises through the Section 3 certification process. The project is being managed by the Salem Housing Authority and appears to be funded through local government resources. The contract will focus on improving the exterior envelope of scattered site residential properties, with an emphasis on enhancing energy efficiency, weather resistance, and aesthetic appearance of the selected properties. The procurement process indicates a preference for responsive and responsible bidders who can demonstrate technical capability and competitive pricing.
