ITB - US101 Culvert Repair Project MP73. 46-MP131. 65

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to execute the US101 Culvert Repair Project, spanning mileposts 74.46 to 131.65 in Tillamook and Lincoln Counties. The procurement is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a public works contract involving comprehensive culvert rehabilitation, with key deliverables including work zone traffic control, installing cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liners, removing and replacing culvert sections, and performing incidental infrastructure work. The project requires repairing eight specific culverts along US101, with detailed technical specifications emphasizing environmental protection, fish habitat preservation, and stream restoration. The contract has a mandatory substantial completion date of September 15, 2025, and a final completion date of September 22, 2025. Bids must be submitted electronically through the OregonBuys system, with evaluation criteria focusing on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, compliance with state procurement requirements, and adherence to technical specifications outlined in the project documents.

The contract does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does include provisions for domestic preference requirements mandating that steel, iron, and manufactured products be produced in the United States. Bidders must comply with non-discrimination laws, provide drug-testing program certifications, and meet specific insurance and bonding requirements, including a bid bond or certified check for 10% of the total bid amount. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires contractors to have expertise in culvert rehabilitation, water management, and environmental protection techniques. Though a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving multiple culvert repairs, traffic control, and environmental mitigation—suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Contractors must also disclose first-tier subcontractors and be prepared to work within strict environmental guidelines, including an in-water work period from July 1 to September 15, with payment structured based on unit prices for specific tasks such as pipe rehabilitation, video inspection, and waterway enhancements.
