Buxton Road Pedestrian Improvements

Multnomah County, Oregon is requesting bids on ADA-compliant pedestrian improvements and drainage construction along Buxton Road in Troutdale under ITB-2-2027, with bids due September 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. via the Multco Marketplace and virtual opening at 2:15 p.m. the same day. Bidders must hold Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) prequalification in the Miscellaneous Highway Appurtenances (MHA) class of work as of the bid opening date — a mandatory eligibility filter. The project is subject to Oregon prevailing wage law and Good Faith Effort requirements mandating outreach to at least five COBID-certified subcontractors per division of work.

The scope includes approximately 45 line items: ADA-compliant curb ramps, drainage systems with storm sewer pipes and inlets, 2,770 square feet of concrete walks, 390 feet of concrete curbs, 200 tons of asphalt concrete pavement, signage installation, traffic control measures, and erosion management. All work must be completed by December 18, 2026.

Contractors with bids of $250,000 or more must comply with Multnomah County's Workforce Training and Hiring Program, requiring minimum 20 percent apprenticeship utilization in each apprenticeable trade and documented efforts to employ women and minorities. A 10 percent bid bond is required. Prevailing wage rates per the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries publication dated July 5, 2026 apply. Failure to submit Good Faith Effort forms and First-Tier Subcontractor Disclosure forms by 4:00 p.m. on the bid due date results in bid rejection. The County enforces liquidated damages of $1,000 per noncompliant subcontractor for Good Faith Effort violations and $250 per day for workforce specification non-compliance. An optional pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 20, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. via videoconference.
