Communication Tower Demolition

Clackamas County and the Clackamas 800 Radio Group (C800) are seeking bids for the demolition of five public safety communication towers located across multiple sites in Clackamas County, Oregon, including Mt Scott, Pete's Mountain, Polivka, Brightwood, and Linhart. The procurement involves complete demolition and deconstruction of existing 150-foot three-leg lattice communication towers, with contractors required to remove foundations to 12 inches below grade. Bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and meet standard public works contract responsibility criteria. The bid submission deadline is August 10, 2022, at 1:00 PM, with bid opening at 1:15 PM the same day. Successful contractors will be required to comply with prevailing wage laws and provide performance and payment bonds. The bid schedule includes lump sum pricing for demolition and disposal work at each site, with an option for an additive/deductive alternate that allows for tower deconstruction to potentially facilitate material reuse at another location.

C800 will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with an estimated project cost ranging between $40,000 and $50,000 per site. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement does not indicate any incumbent vendors or specify existing infrastructure integration requirements. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability to safely demolish communication infrastructure and comply with all local and state regulations governing public works projects. The total estimated budget for the entire project appears to be approximately $200,000 to $250,000, contingent on final bid submissions. No pre-bid conference is scheduled, and bidders are expected to carefully review all project specifications and requirements before submitting their proposals.
