ESB - Vinyl Strip Shop Doors Installation

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued a Request for Competitive Quotes (RFCQ) for the installation of vinyl strip doors at multiple maintenance station locations. The procurement specifically seeks a contractor to provide all necessary materials, labor, and equipment to install vinyl strip doors at existing overhead shop door openings. Key project deliverables include complete installation of vinyl strip doors with a Substantial Completion date of November 30, 2023, and a Final Completion date of December 15, 2023. Quotes must be submitted through the OregonBuys eProcurement system, with the bid opening deadline set for October 5, 2023. The evaluation criteria for selection will focus on responsiveness, satisfactory performance record, and lowest bid, with the ultimate goal of selecting the contractor that best serves ODOT's interests. The selected contractor will be required to provide various documentation, including taxpayer identification, insurance certificates, and a responsibility inquiry form prior to contract award.

The contract is exclusively reserved for certified Emerging Small Businesses (ESB), with a specific requirement that the selected contractor must perform at least 51% of the labor using their own workforce. This set-aside designation limits participation to only ESB-certified firms, creating a targeted opportunity for small businesses. The preliminary bid tabulation indicates bid prices ranging from $49,245.00 to $149,000.00 across six potential bidders, suggesting a moderate-sized project with potential budget flexibility. The contract will be governed by Oregon state law and is subject to Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) wage requirements. No incumbent vendors were specifically identified in the provided documentation. The procurement covers maintenance stations in Multnomah County and the City of Portland, with the potential for multiple locations to receive vinyl strip door installations as part of this contract opportunity.
