I-84: Bridge Deck & Approach Paving

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is requesting bids for bridge deck and approach paving on Interstate 84 at two locations in Wasco County under ITB S-73000-00016889, with bids due June 9, 2026 through the OregonBuys system. No pre-bid conference is scheduled. Bidders must be licensed with the State Construction Contractors Board and carry a Public Works bond. ODOT has determined that State Buy America domestic preference requirements under ORS 279C.303 are inapplicable because no steel, iron, coatings, or manufactured products will be used.

The scope encompasses cold plane pavement removal, hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) inlay, and joint work at Fifteen Mile Creek Bridge (milepost 88.04, both eastbound and westbound lanes) and Big Eddy Bridge (milepost 89.89, westbound only). Fifteen Mile Creek work includes two-inch depth cold plane removal, HMAC inlay, and control joint installation. Big Eddy Bridge work includes deck and approach removal, waterproof membrane installation, expansion joint replacement, HMAC inlay with PG64-28 asphalt cement at 2-inch nominal compacted thickness, and new joint seal installation. All work requires traffic control, temporary pavement markers, and compliance with lane closure restrictions (single lane closures Monday–Thursday only, except July 2–6). Work is subject to 2024 Oregon Standard Specifications with specified modifications.

The project estimate ranges from $250,000 to $500,000. Substantial completion is due August 10, 2026, with final completion by August 14, 2026. Liquidated damages are $600 per calendar day for delays beyond substantial completion. The contractor must commence work within 10 working days of receiving the Notice to Proceed and attend a preconstruction conference with Project Manager Scotty Freitas. Bidders must submit bid security equal to 10% of the total bid amount. The apparent successful bidder must provide performance and payment bonds each at 100% of contract value, proof of insurance (commercial general liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate limits), and a W-9 form within seven days of request. Prevailing wage rates established by the Bureau of Labor and Industries for Wasco County Region 9 as of April 5, 2026 apply. Award goes to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
