ITB 10654 Nehalem Bay State Park Staff Housing Cabin Buildings Project

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) #10654 for the Nehalem Bay State Park Staff Housing Cabin Buildings Project located in Tillamook County. The procurement seeks a contractor to construct 5 staff cabins, specifically excluding cabin foundations, general excavation, earthwork, and paving work, which will be installed by separate contractors. Key project deliverables include wooden cabin structures, wooden stairs, and cabin approaches, with precise specifications detailed in multiple attached technical documents such as structural calculations, site improvement plans, and drawing sheets. The bid is due on September 18, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, with prospective bidders having until September 16, 2024, at 5:00 PM to submit written questions or requests for clarification. A mandatory pre-bid process was conducted, and multiple addendums have been issued modifying technical specifications and project details. The project has specific substantial and final completion dates, with substantial completion required no later than March 31, 2025, and final completion by April 30, 2025. Bidders must adhere to strict technical requirements outlined in the attachment documents, including structural design criteria, environmental controls, and specific construction methodologies.

No specific set-aside designations for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises were identified in the procurement documents. The bid tabulation reveals three initial bidders, with Creative Contracting Inc. submitting the lowest bid of $1,188,089.78, which was subsequently identified as the apparent successful bid in the Intent to Award document. The other two bidders, West Peak Commercial Construction and Unitus Services, were rejected for not submitting the required First Tier Subcontractor Form. The project is funded through state parks capital improvement funds, with the total project budget appearing to be around $1.2 million. Creative Contracting Inc. will be required to provide performance and payment bonds each valued at $1,188,089.78, contingent upon submission of required documentation. The procurement does not indicate an existing incumbent contractor for this specific cabin construction project, and the work appears to be part of a broader infrastructure improvement initiative at Nehalem Bay State Park.
