I84 MP 359 3 mile hill slide emergency repairs project

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking qualified contractors for an emergency repair project on Interstate 84 at Mile Post 359.1 in Union County, addressing a significant hill slide area. The project involves approximately 96,000 cubic yards of general excavation and 21,000 cubic yards of stone embankment buttress, with a hard completion deadline of September 15, 2023. Contractors must submit bids through the OregonBuys eProcurement system by April 18, 2023 at 2:00 PM, with no pre-bid conference scheduled. The scope of work includes temporary traffic control, slide repair, fencing, and gate installation, with substantial and final completion dates set for August 15, 2023. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest total bid price, with the contract awarded to the most responsible bidder. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage requirements, using the higher of state or federal wage rates, and are expected to navigate complex site conditions, including accessing the Tub Mountain Quarry for aggregate materials and managing archaeological monitoring during excavation.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The project is funded through federal-aid emergency relief programming with FHWA participation, suggesting potential opportunities for various contractor sizes and capabilities. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the project requires contractors with significant heavy civil construction experience, particularly in emergency roadway repair and slope stabilization. The estimated project value is not directly stated, but the extensive scope of work involving 96,000 cubic yards of excavation and complex site remediation suggests a significant budget. Contractors will need specialized equipment for excavation, stone embankment construction, and potential blasting operations, with additional requirements for developing access roads and managing material sourcing from the Tub Mountain Quarry. The emergency nature of the project and the specific technical requirements indicate this is a high-complexity procurement targeting experienced heavy civil contractors with demonstrated capability in complex infrastructure repair.
