A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 17, 2025, with bid submissions due by August 05, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific time through the OregonBuys system. The project has a planned start date upon Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion required by September 28, 2025, and final completion by September 30, 2025. Contractors must comply with Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction and demonstrate capability to execute comprehensive bridge and road repair work. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical competence, proposed methodology, and adherence to specified repair techniques and environmental standards.

The contract is funded by the US Department of Fish and Wildlife Service and the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, with strict compliance requirements including the Build America, Buy America Act. All iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials must be produced in the United States. The project is subject to prevailing wage rates, including Davis-Bacon wages, and federal terms such as equal employment opportunity and debarment provisions. The total project estimate is $125,000, with bid items structured across mobilization/permits/bonding, de-mobilization, bridge abutment repair, and access road repair. Liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day will be applied for failure to complete the project by the substantial completion date. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, contractors must demonstrate environmental compliance, particularly regarding fish habitat protection, and use biodegradable and non-toxic materials. The project requires careful erosion control and site restoration measures, indicating a preference for contractors with environmental engineering expertise and strong regulatory compliance capabilities.
