ITB - US26: MP 198. 16 Road Creek Culvert Repair Project

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the US26: MP 198.16 Road Creek Culvert Repair Project located in Grant County. The procurement solicits a contractor to perform comprehensive culvert repair work, specifically involving the installation of a 48-inch Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) liner, installation of nine flexible baffles, and placement of a Type 1 culvert marker at Milepost 198.16 on US26. Key project deliverables include providing materials, equipment, labor, and incidentals to construct a temporary water management facility, clean and conduct CCTV inspections of multiple culverts, and install multiple CIPP liners. The project has strict scheduling requirements, with work below the ordinary high water mark mandated between July 15, 2022, and August 15, 2022, substantial completion required by August 15, 2022, and final completion by August 30, 2022. Bids must be submitted electronically through the OregonBuys eProcurement system prior to the bid opening date of June 28, 2022, at 2:00 pm. The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the responsive bid with the lowest total bid price, and prevailing wage rates will apply to the contractor and all subcontractors.

No specific set-aside designations were explicitly identified in the procurement documents. The bid solicitation requires first-tier subcontractor disclosure for subcontracts greater than or equal to $15,000 or 5% of the project bid. Two bidders submitted proposals: Iron Horse LLC with a total bid of $262,200 and HP Civil, Inc. with a total bid of $399,501. The successful bidder will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds each in the total amount of the awarded contract. While no specific funding source was detailed, the project appears to be state-funded through ODOT. The bid documents indicate that aggrieved bidders have 5 calendar days from the June 28, 2022 date to file a protest regarding the intent to award. Contractors must demonstrate capability to manage complex infrastructure repair work, including water management, turbidity monitoring, and specialized culvert rehabilitation techniques involving CIPP liner installation.
