The Invitation to Bid (ITB) seeks a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive repairs to bridge supports, including bridge jacking at multiple bents (56, 68, 80, and 84), concrete repairs, reinforcement work, and bearing device replacements. The project requires complete labor, materials, transportation, and equipment for construction, with a Substantial Completion date of October 31, 2025, and a Final Completion date of November 7, 2025. Bids must be submitted electronically through the OregonBuys eProcurement system by June 12, 2025, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Key qualifications include holding a valid Construction Contractors Board license, providing a bid bond equal to 10% of the total bid amount, and complying with Oregon prevailing wage rates and Buy America requirements.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and is open to qualified contractors meeting the stated requirements. Bidders must provide performance and payment bonds, submit first-tier subcontractor disclosures, and meet various certification requirements including tax compliance, drug testing, and non-discrimination standards. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves complex infrastructure work with estimated concrete quantities of approximately 5 cubic yards and 921 pounds of uncoated reinforcement. Liquidated damages are specified at $700 per calendar day for substantial completion delays and $500 per 15-minute increment for lane closures. The project is state-funded and will involve specialized bridge maintenance techniques, including concrete surface preparation, rebar treatment, zinc anode installation, and precise mortar placement to ensure structural integrity of the Astoria-Megler Bridge.
