ESB US101 MP 51. 84 Culvert Replacement Project

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is issuing a Request for Competitive Quotes (RFCQ) for the ESB US101 MP 51.84 Culvert Replacement Project located in Tillamook County. The primary objective is to remove a failed 12' x 58' concrete culvert and replace it with a new 18" x 58' HDPE culvert along US101 in Rockaway Beach. The project requires a comprehensive scope of work including traffic control, temporary water management, erosion and sediment control, and associated tasks as specified in the technical documentation. The work must be completed within the in-water work window of July 1 to September 15, with substantial and final completion dates set for September 27, 2024. Bidders must submit quotes through the OregonBuys eProcurement system by April 26, 2024, at 11:00 am, and provide all necessary documentation including a Temporary Water Management Plan and Traffic Control Plan. ODOT will be responsible for trench repair paving and striping after culvert installation. Seven bidders submitted bids, with prices ranging from $19,870 to $107,300, and Mid Valley Excavation, LLC submitting the lowest bid.

The procurement is specifically restricted to Emerging Small Business (ESB) certified contractors in Oregon. Contractors must be licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and comply with BOLI prevailing wage rate requirements. The contract requires contractors to have a qualifying drug testing program and ensure all subcontractors performing construction work are properly registered or licensed. While no specific set-aside requirements beyond the ESB certification are mentioned, the contract will be awarded to the responsive ESB contractor with the lowest bid. Successful bidders must provide a Taxpayer Identification Number, Certificates of Insurance, a Responsibility Inquiry Form, and any required Conflict of Interest Disclosure Forms prior to contract award. Payment will be based on actual measured quantities, and ODOT reserves the right to adjust quantities or delete items as needed. The total project budget is not explicitly stated, but the bid range suggests the project is valued between $20,000 and $110,000.
