About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. S-73000-00008548/35850 for Utility Locating Services for Region 2 Electrical, seeking one qualified contractor to provide comprehensive underground utility locating services. The primary scope includes retrieving and completing Locate Requests through the OUNC One Call system, performing project-specific locates, conducting third-party damage investigations, and updating ODOT's underground facility maps and diagrams. Minimum qualifications require bidders to have 5 years of experience providing similar services and submit professional references. The contract term is anticipated to be one year with potential extensions up to four additional years, with a maximum contract duration of five years. Bid submissions were due on January 11, 2024, at 11:00 am through the OregonBuys eProcurement system, and the target contract start date is February 9, 2024. Evaluation will involve applying preferences such as the Buy Oregon Preference and reciprocal preference for out-of-state bidders, with the contract awarded based on comprehensive bid responsiveness and meeting all specified requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises, though ODOT allows subcontractors with the prime contractor remaining fully responsible for all work performed. Preliminary bid results show three vendors submitted bids: PNW Locating LLC, Alpha Locates, LLC, and Mulino, OR, with pricing structured around hourly rates for normal business hours, after-hours work, and travel time. The contract will be a labor-hours based agreement, with ODOT not open to a fixed monthly price arrangement. Pricing will include variable rates for different service scenarios, with the potential for most favorable pricing and future price adjustments. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the bid tabulation suggests hourly rates will be the primary cost metric, with compensation tied directly to service delivery. The apparent successful bidder must provide documentation including insurance certificates, tax ID information, business registry number, and pay equity compliance training certification prior to contract award.
