Long Butte Sanding Rock Production

The Oregon Department of Transportation is requesting sealed bids for the production and delivery of 15,000 cubic yards of cinder sanding aggregate meeting specified grading requirements, with bids due July 30, 2026 and all work to be completed by October 1, 2026. A 5% Buy Oregon preference applies to goods manufactured or processed entirely within Oregon; reciprocal preferences for out-of-state bidders based on their home state's preferences also apply.

Contractors may source material from a commercial supplier or crush material from the ODOT-provided Long Butte Cinder Pit (DOGAMI Operating Permit #09-0002), located approximately 5 miles north of Bend on Tumalo Road at US 97 Highway MP 130.18. The pit contains approximately 10 acres for equipment setup, processing, and stockpiling. Material must meet grading specifications: 100 percent passing 3/4-inch sieve, 80–95 percent passing 1/2-inch sieve, 25–50 percent passing No. 10, and 0–16 percent passing No. 100. Oversize material exceeding 50 cubic yards with dimensions larger than 1 foot diameter must be reduced to specification size; contractors must account for potential secondary reduction equipment needs. Work must commence within 10 working days of the preconstruction conference and is limited to one-half hour before sunrise through one-half hour after sunset Monday through Friday. Contractors must develop access roads, construct safety berms, submit site-specific erosion and sediment control plans, and steam-clean all equipment prior to entry.

Compensation is based on fixed unit prices with no retainage; payment is issued upon completion and acceptance within 30 days of invoice. Delivery is F.O.B. destination with all transportation charges paid by the contractor. The contract term is anticipated to be one year or upon completion of contractor obligations, whichever occurs sooner. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience providing similar goods and services and submit at least three references for contracts completed within the last three years. Evaluation prioritizes the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Bids must be submitted electronically through OregonBuys; the bid opening occurs electronically via Microsoft Teams immediately following the deadline. A Notice of Intent to Award will be posted within five business days after bid opening, with a seven-calendar-day protest window. No pre-bid conference is scheduled. The project manager is Ramon Alonso at ODOT's Bend office.
