ER US101: MP314. 7 and MP344. 5 Emergency Repair Project

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to perform emergency repair work on US Highway 101 at two specific locations in Curry County, Oregon (MP 314.7 and MP 344.5). The project involves comprehensive roadway infrastructure repair, including replacing an existing 24-inch culvert, repairing and replacing damaged guardrail, and rebuilding roadway sections with 36 inches of stone embankment, 12 inches of aggregate base, and 9 inches of asphalt concrete pavement. Bids must be submitted through the OregonBuys electronic procurement system by August 19, 2025, with substantial project completion required by October 17, 2025, and final completion by October 24, 2025. The project includes critical requirements such as temporary traffic protection, erosion control measures, and environmental compliance, including management of contaminated soils and asbestos material removal. Contractors must provide 10% bid security and will be subject to liquidated damages of $1,100 per day for project delays. Bidders must comply with both federal and state contracting requirements, including prevailing wage rates from the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) and federal Davis-Bacon Act standards.

The contract opportunity appears to be open to all qualified contractors with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Bidders must comply with State Buy America requirements under ORS 279C.303 and federal Buy America provisions, mandating domestic sourcing for steel, iron, and manufactured products used in permanent structures. The project requires first-tier subcontractor disclosure for subcontracts exceeding 5% of the project bid or $350,000. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project and the detailed bid pricing form suggest a significant infrastructure investment. Successful contractors must furnish 100% performance and payment bonds and demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations, non-discrimination provisions, and specialized personnel qualifications, including Oregon DEQ certified asbestos workers and employees trained in lead awareness. The project is eligible for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Emergency Relief Program reimbursement, indicating potential federal funding support.
