City hall landscaping improvements

The City of Moro in Lake County, Oregon, is seeking bids for City Hall Landscaping Improvements, a comprehensive infrastructure and landscaping project scheduled for implementation in 2025. The procurement involves multiple key deliverables, including demolition and installation of approximately 1,800 square feet of sidewalk, 1,200 square feet of stamped concrete, 9 linear feet of concrete curbing, 4 concrete pads, 4 concrete bases, a drainage berm, a maintenance path, and associated electrical work. The project requires boring 130 linear feet of 1.5-inch HDPE line with backflow, removing existing turf, and installing new sod. Bid documents specify strict milestone completion dates, with substantial completion required by May 30, 2025, and final project completion by June 30, 2025. The bid solicitation requires submission by February 27, 2025, with liquidated damages of $250 per day for missed milestone dates and $500 per day for final completion delays. Contractors must submit a bid bond with their proposal and provide performance and payment bonds if awarded the contract.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents indicate standard procurement protocols for public works projects. The contract includes a 5% retainage requirement on payments and requires bidders to access documentation through www.oregonbuys.gov. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the complexity of the project suggests a mid-range municipal infrastructure investment. Potential bidders should note the technical specifications, which include detailed requirements for irrigation systems, such as Hunter Pop-Up Sprinklers for turf and shrub areas, and specific planting requirements including six Rhamnus Purshiana (Cascara) trees to be supplied and planted by city staff. Interested contractors can arrange site visits with Melissa Roman, Monday through Thursday, to better understand the project scope and site conditions. The project involves comprehensive landscaping, hardscaping, electrical work, and irrigation system installation for the City Hall grounds.
