ITB - PMP Region 3 - Southern Airports

The Oregon Department of Aviation (ODAV) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a Pavement Maintenance Project (PMP) in Region 3, covering Southern Airports, specifically targeting the Chiloquin State, Christmas Valley, Lake County, and Malin airports. The procurement solicits comprehensive pavement maintenance services, including partial depth asphalt concrete pavement patching, crack sealing, and runway, taxiway, and apron painting. Required contractor qualifications include a valid Oregon Construction Contractors Board license and the ability to complete the project within strict timeline parameters - Substantial Completion must be achieved within 40 calendar days and Final Completion within 55 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 14, 2023, with bid submissions due by January 10, 2024, at 2:00 pm through OregonBuys. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation based on the submitted Bid Schedule, which requires detailed unit pricing for each airport location and specific maintenance activity. State prevailing wage rates will apply, and liquidated damages will be assessed for failing to meet project completion deadlines.

The ITB documents do not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. First-tier subcontractor disclosure is required, and bidders must carefully review supplemental general conditions. While the pre-bid attendee list reveals potential interested contractors including Century West Engineering, G Gordon Construction, CR Contracting, Carter & Company, and K & L Industries, no incumbent vendor is explicitly identified. Based on the bid tabulation document, the project's total bid amounts range from $171,607.67 to $396,922.00, suggesting a budget flexibility that allows for competitive bidding. The project is funded through the Oregon Department of Transportation on behalf of the Oregon Department of Aviation, with work to be completed in the summer construction season. Contractors will be required to coordinate closely with the owner and engineer, manage airport operational constraints, and ensure minimal disruption to airport services during maintenance activities.
