The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to install scour protection on the Clatskanie River Bridge located in Columbia County through an Invitation to Bid (ITB). The project requires comprehensive construction services, including temporary traffic control, erosion and sediment control, staging area construction, riprap mitigation at bridge piers, and associated incidental work.

Bidders must submit proposals through the OregonBuys eProcurement system by October 4, 2023, with substantial project completion required by October 1, 2024, and final completion by October 31, 2024.

Bidders must be prepared to meet comprehensive federal and state contracting requirements, including providing various technical submittals such as Temporary Water Management Plan and Work Containment Plan.

No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and the contract appears to be a new procurement for scour protection installation. The project requires technical expertise in bridge construction, environmental protection, and in-water work management, with a focus on protecting the Clatskanie River's ecological environment during bridge infrastructure improvements.
