ESB La Grande Truck Shop LED Lighting Upgrade

The Oregon Department of Transportation is soliciting competitive quotes for an LED lighting upgrade at the ESB La Grande Truck Shop under an RFCQ restricted to certified Emerging Small Business contractors, with quotes due August 27, 2026 and a mandatory pre-quote conference on August 13, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at the project site.

Only Emerging Small Business (ESB) firms certified under Oregon's COBID program are eligible to submit quotes. The selected contractor must perform at least 51 percent of labor with its own workforce. All work is subject to Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries prevailing wage rates effective July 5, 2026 for Union, BOLI Region 13.

The project involves removing and disposing of approximately 560 existing lighting fixtures throughout the interior and exterior of the facility at 3016 Island Ave, Building D, La Grande, Oregon 97850 and installing LED fixtures throughout the building. The existing lighting is original to the building's 1993 construction and has reached end-of-life. Work is scheduled for weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with substantial completion by February 1, 2027 and final completion by February 15, 2027. The contractor must conduct a site visit prior to bidding, obtain all required permits, comply with Oregon OSHA standards, and provide as-built drawings, operations and maintenance documentation, equipment details with manufacturer and serial numbers, and one-year installation warranties plus manufacturer warranties upon completion.

Award will be made to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest responsive quote. Contractors must hold current State Construction Contractors Board (CCB) licensing, maintain Public Works bonds filed with the CCB prior to work commencement, and submit evidence of satisfactory performance on three similar projects completed within the last three years. Quotes are firm and binding for a minimum of 30 calendar days from the closing date. Requests for product substitutions or clarifications must be submitted to the Single Point of Contact at least seven calendar days before the closing deadline. All quotes are submitted electronically through OregonBuys. The Project Manager is Shelby Stout (541-952-1165, shelby.stout@odot.oregon.gov).
