ITB - Necarney Creek Bridge Deck Preservation Necarney Creek, Hwy 9 (Sam Reed)

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to perform bridge deck preservation work on the Sam Reed Bridge, located on US Highway 101 in Tillamook County. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicits proposals for a comprehensive bridge maintenance project involving the removal of an existing multi-layer polymer concrete overlay, conducting a deck delamination survey, and installing new concrete and crack sealer across the entire bridge deck and sidewalk surfaces. The project specifications require a contractor licensed with the State of Oregon's Construction Contractors Board who can demonstrate comparable project experience. The bridge spans approximately 602 feet with 13 deck spans, a 26-foot roadway, and two 3'-6" walkways, and will be constructed according to the Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction 2024. Bids must be submitted electronically through the OregonBuys eProcurement system by October 15, 2025, with a substantial completion date of December 19, 2025, and final completion by December 26, 2025. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with evaluation criteria including compliance with technical specifications, licensing, and references.

The procurement includes specific provisions for non-discrimination, diversity, and inclusion goals, with potential bidders required to submit various certifications including tax law compliance and drug-testing program documentation. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly detailed, the contract is subject to state prevailing wage rate requirements and is located in BOLI Region 1. The project includes liquidated damages provisions, charging $300 per calendar day for missing the substantial completion date, with additional penalties for traffic lane closures and delays. Although the current bid pricing form shows $0.00 for line items, the project involves seven specific components including mobilization, temporary work zone traffic control, pollution control plan, surface preparation, material removal, concrete and crack sealer work, and thermoplastic striping. While a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the bridge deck preservation project suggests a significant infrastructure investment for Tillamook County and the State of Oregon.
