ITB# 2026-26 Culvert Fabrication for Bear Creek Culvert

Clackamas County, Oregon is soliciting bids through Invitation to Bid (ITB) #2026-26 for the fabrication and delivery of precast concrete culvert components for the Bear Creek Culvert and Molalla Avenue Shoulders Project. The primary objective is to procure engineered precast concrete culvert components, including wingwalls, headwalls, and three-sided structures with footings, to replace an undersized corrugated metal pipe culvert with a 3-sided precast concrete culvert that will improve hydraulic capacity, provide fish passage, and meet current road standards. All fabricated components must be delivered to the County's Steel Bridge yard site at 16154 OR-211, Molalla, Oregon by August 10, 2026, to facilitate mid- to late-summer 2026 installation within the regulated in-water work window. Eligible bidders must be members of the Pacific Northwest Precast Concrete Association and demonstrate a minimum of three projects involving 3-sided or 4-sided precast concrete culverts of similar type, dimensions, and purpose completed within the last three years. Required submittals include a completed bid price form, certifications, references, and detailed descriptions of relevant project experience with engineering, fabrication, delivery, and scheduling information. The ITB was issued on April 7, 2026, with critical deadlines including a protest of specifications deadline of April 14, 2026; a request for clarification deadline of April 22, 2026; and a bid submission deadline of April 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on specifications, price, and delivery terms, with bid opening occurring immediately following the due date and a seven-calendar-day protest period after the Notice of Award letter.

Bidders must satisfy insurance requirements including Professional Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence with a $2,000,000 annual aggregate, Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 annual aggregate, and Automobile Liability of $500,000 per occurrence. Bids must be submitted electronically through Bid Locker, and all prospective bidders must register with the County to download bidding documents from OregonBuys. The offer remains binding for 120 days from submission. The County reserves the right to request best and final offers, reject any or all bids, and extend contract terms to other public agencies at the same unit bid price unless the contractor declines in writing. This is a goods contract with no renewal options specified. No specific set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, current contractors, or budget ranges are identified in the available procurement documentation; however, the Pacific Northwest Precast Concrete Association membership requirement effectively restricts participation to regional precast concrete manufacturers with demonstrated expertise in similar culvert fabrication projects.
