ITB Rock Creek Campus Barn

Portland Community College (PCC) is seeking competitive bids for the Rock Creek Campus Barn Replacement project through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued on October 21, 2022. The procurement is a public works project located in Washington County, Oregon, targeting the replacement of an existing barn with a new approximately 8,500 square foot facility to support the Veterinary Technology program. The new barn will be a pole building structure with metal siding and roof, featuring partial height masonry walls for animal pens and conventional interior partitions for conditioned spaces. The primary deliverables include animal shelter and feeding areas designed to improve teaching environments and animal accommodations. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2022, and sealed bids must be submitted through PCC's BidLocker system by December 7, 2022. Bidders are required to comply with Oregon prevailing wage requirements and must demonstrate qualifications through comprehensive bid documentation, including bid security, subcontractor disclosures, and necessary certifications. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a comprehensive evaluation of submitted proposals.

The procurement encourages participation from emerging small, minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprises. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, this is a public works project subject to Oregon procurement laws. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no apparent requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology beyond the construction of the new barn facility. The project represents an opportunity for contractors to provide a specialized agricultural/educational building that supports veterinary technology training. Bidders must carefully review the ITB documentation to understand the full scope of requirements, submission guidelines, and compliance expectations. The project's focus on creating an improved teaching and animal care environment suggests a commitment to educational infrastructure enhancement within the community college system.
