ESB D13 Haines Stockpile Fencing Project

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking competitive quotes for the ESB D13 Haines Stockpile Fencing Project, a procurement focused on removing and replacing perimeter fencing at an ODOT-owned stockpile site located in Union County. The project requires specific fencing work, including removing existing fence, installing new Type 1-5W fence, and constructing a 32' double gateway. Contractors must complete the project between June 1, 2023 (substantial completion) and June 15, 2023 (final completion). Quotes must be submitted through the OregonBuys eProcurement system, with the bid opening date and time set for January 30, 2023 at 11:00 am. The evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder among the submitted quotes, with award contingent upon meeting all specified requirements. Contractors are required to have current registration with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) and must be prepared to provide additional documentation related to insurance, conflict of interest disclosures, and business registry requirements prior to contract execution.

This procurement is exclusively restricted to contractors certified as an Emerging Small Business (ESB) under the State of Oregon's Emerging Small Business Assistance Program, effectively limiting competition to only qualified ESB firms. Five bidders submitted proposals for this opportunity, with Hamilton Excavation LLC presenting the lowest bid at $23,900. The project appears to have a relatively modest budget range between $23,900 and $41,000, based on the submitted bids. Participation is contingent upon maintaining current ESB certification and meeting specific qualifications outlined in the Request for Competitive Quotes (RFCQ). Contractors must demonstrate compliance with state business requirements, maintain appropriate insurance coverage, and possess the technical capability to complete the specified fencing installation within the designated timeframe. The procurement represents a targeted approach to supporting small, emerging businesses while achieving specific infrastructure improvement objectives for ODOT's stockpile facility.
