Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution Scaffolding Setup/Takedown

The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for scaffolding setup and takedown services at the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution (EOCI) located in Union County. The procurement specifically requires a contractor to furnish all materials, tools, equipment, transportation, labor, and supervision to install and dismantle scaffolding and exterior containment material at 13 distinct stairwell locations. The primary deliverables include complete scaffolding installation, exterior wrapping with shrink wrap to contain paint overspray, and subsequent scaffolding dismantling, all performed in strict accordance with manufacturer specifications and regulatory requirements. Contractors must provide detailed pricing for setup charges, dismantle charges, and weekly equipment rental. The bid is due on July 26, 2024, with work expected to be completed by Fall 2026, and the contractor must be prepared to complete scaffolding setup within 5 business days of receiving notice from ODOC. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with ODOC reserving the right to cancel or reject any or all bids.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be open to standard commercial contractors with expertise in scaffolding installation and industrial containment services. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the contract indicates ODOC will issue purchase orders for services as needed. The documentation does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the comprehensive nature of the project spanning 13 stairwell locations suggests a potentially significant contract value. The successful contractor will need to demonstrate technical capability, compliance with manufacturer specifications, and adherence to all relevant safety and regulatory standards. The contract will be governed by Oregon state law, and interested bidders should carefully review all technical specifications and requirements outlined in the ITB and accompanying exhibits before submitting their proposal.
