BID#2023-31

Clackamas County is seeking sealed bids for the Johnson Creek Tributary (Hideaway Court) Culvert Replacement Project, identified as Bid #2023-31. The procurement is a public works construction project focused on replacing a culvert along Johnson Creek in Oregon City, Oregon. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on April 20, 2023, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, and sealed bids were due on May 9, 2023, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The project scope includes multiple construction activities such as mobilization, temporary traffic control, drainage facilities, clearing and grubbing, and installation of a culvert crossing structure. The county will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the bid tabulation revealing three contractors submitted proposals ranging from $544,211.00 to $624,533.00, compared to the engineer's estimate of $547,680.00. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on lowest price and demonstrated ability to complete the technical specifications outlined in the bid documents.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The bid documents do not indicate any preferential treatment for specific types of organizations or businesses. Colton Construction has been identified as the apparent successful bidder with a bid of $544,211.00, pending contract negotiation and execution. The contract is not final until Colton Construction negotiates and executes an agreement with acceptable terms and conditions for Clackamas County. A 7-calendar day protest period was established for unsuccessful bidders to file potential challenges to the intended award. The project appears to be a straightforward public infrastructure improvement with no noted requirements for integrating existing technology or working with incumbent vendors. The total project budget seems to be approximately $547,680.00, based on the engineer's estimate, with the lowest bid coming in slightly under that amount.
