Conroy Road Line Rebuild

Northern Wasco County People's Utility District (NWCPUD) is seeking bids for the Highway 216 Conroy Road Line Rebuild Project located in Wasco County, Oregon. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) is for a comprehensive power distribution line infrastructure reconstruction, involving the replacement of 80 pole sets and approximately 37,442 feet of conductor along Highway 216 at Whiteriver State Park. The project requires a contractor to provide all necessary equipment and labor, obtain hot-line tags and clearances, and work primarily on an energized line, with work scheduled to begin in October 2025 and be completed within 12 weeks. Bidders must be active and in good standing with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and submit various exhibits including a personal service agreement, schedule of values, unit rates, project maps, and bond documents. The pre-bid meeting and site visit are scheduled for 4/9/2025 at 8:00 am, with sealed bids due on 4/23/2025 by 1:00 pm PDT. The contract is expected to be executed by 5/13/2025, with the project awarded to the lowest responsible bidder who demonstrates the capability to successfully complete the infrastructure rebuild.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. NWCPUD will provide ductile iron poles and recycling containers, and the contractor must follow specific guidelines for material handling, tree trimming notification, and rock remediation. The engineering report indicates the project involves replacing a 1948 pole line, transitioning from 6C to 4ACSR conductors with poles ranging from 35' to 80' in length, primarily using McWane Ductile Iron poles. While specific budget ranges are not directly stated, the comprehensive documentation suggests a significant infrastructure investment, with project components including detailed specifications for single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase primary pole top assemblies. The contract includes provisions for monthly payments based on detailed invoices, with the contractor required to maintain various insurance coverages including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability insurance with specific minimum coverage amounts.
