The scope includes demolition of an existing wood stair system and installation of a new steel stair structure with concrete landings and treads, steel stringers (C12X20.7 channels), guardrails, and foundation work. The work comprises 16 risers and 16 treads with a 4.5-foot width.

Concrete mixes range from 3,000 psi for footings to 4,000–6,000 psi for stair elements. The contractor must submit shop drawings within 10 business days for design team review and comply with special inspection requirements for welding, high-strength bolting, and post-installed anchors.

The project estimate for bonding purposes is $80,000 to $100,000. The contract timeline runs ten calendar days from Notice to Proceed for project start, 70 calendar days for substantial completion, and 90 calendar days for final completion. Liquidated damages are $300 per calendar day for delays beyond substantial and final completion dates. Bid security equal to ten percent of the total bid amount is required. The apparent successful bidder must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the awarded contract amount and proof of insurance.

Prevailing wage rates under Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industries apply in Marion County, Region 3.

All bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board prior to submission.
