COBID NOTICE ONLY- Special Inspections & Testing for Justice Bldg Parking Lot Upgrades Proj 2000.106

Oregon's Department of Administrative Services, through its Enterprise Asset Management division, has posted a notice only of a direct appointment of Carlson Testing, Inc. for special inspections and testing on the Justice Building Parking Lot Upgrades project (No. 2000.106), with interested Oregon COBID-certified businesses holding appropriate special inspections credentials required to contact procurement specialist Cheyenne Starck by 1:00 PM PT on November 5, 2026. The posting is informational and is not a formal solicitation. The appointment is made under OAR 137-048-0200(1)(b) rather than through competitive bidding, and the notice is targeted to Oregon COBID-certified businesses, which functions as the eligibility filter. Protests must be received by the November 5, 2026 bid opening date.

The services are special inspections and testing under Chapter 17 of the Oregon Structural Specialty Code, meaning independent onsite observation and testing of materials, installation, fabrication, erection, or placement of components for compliance with approved construction documents and building codes. Required work includes epoxy injection; concrete, masonry, mortar, and grout sampling; structural steel, reinforcing steel, and high-strength bolting inspections; erection and welding inspections; and fire-stopping and fire-resistive inspections. Work occurs at the construction site and, as necessary, at off-site manufacturing or fabrication locations. The contractor must also document all site visits, special inspections, and testing throughout construction and perform contract administration duties.

The project site is 1162 Court Street NE in Salem, Oregon.
