COUTES Wash Rack & Oil/Water Separator and Storm Water Improvements

The Oregon Military Department is seeking bids for the COUTES Wash Rack & Oil/Water Separator and Storm Water Improvements project located in Redmond, Oregon, through Invitation to Bid (ITB) #259985C001. The procurement involves comprehensive infrastructure upgrades at the Central Oregon Unit Training Equipment Site, including removing the existing vehicle wash system and constructing a new facility with advanced water management capabilities. Key deliverables include a new vehicle wash system with an oil/water separator, detention pond, site grading for improved stormwater management, and perimeter fence adjustments. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 6, 2025, at 10:00 am, with final bids due by August 26, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The project timeline anticipates a 15-day start after the Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion targeted at 270 calendar days and final completion at 360 calendar days. Bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and submit required documentation, including a First-Tier Subcontractor Disclosure Form, Bid Security Form, and Bidder Submission Form. The project requires compliance with TSA, FAA, and local jurisdictional regulations, and adheres to Department of Defense Unified Facilities Code and sustainable design policies.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be funded through state and federal funds, with an estimated total cost range between $1.2 and $1.7 million, including a $140,000 Owner's Contingency budget entirely controlled by the owner. The project involves constructing a specialized facility with comprehensive infrastructure, including hot and cold water pressure washers, air compressors, oil/water separators, storage tanks, and pumps. Technical specifications detail rigorous requirements for materials, including specific grades of steel, concrete, aluminum, and other construction materials, with detailed provisions for fabrication, installation, testing, and quality assurance. The site, located at 2899 East Highway 126 in Redmond, will feature a new well building, two wash racks (one enclosed and one open-sided), and advanced stormwater collection and disposal systems. Geotechnical reports indicate the site is suitable for development, with specific foundation and construction recommendations. Bidders should note the project's technical complexity, which requires extensive engineering expertise in military facility construction and advanced water management systems.
