Mcdermitt State Airport Runway and Taxiway Surface Seal Project

The Oregon Department of Aviation is seeking a contractor for the McDermitt State Airport Runway and Taxiway Surface Seal Project, a comprehensive airport infrastructure maintenance initiative located in McDermitt, Oregon. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) encompasses complete surface rehabilitation work, including crack sealing approximately 8,538 linear feet, surface sealing 41,540 square yards, and full pavement marking restoration for Runway 16-34 and associated taxiways. The project is funded through Airport Improvement Program (AIP) No. 3-41-0071-007-2024 and requires extensive technical expertise in airport pavement maintenance, with specific FAA technical specifications governing material selection, application methods, and quality control standards. The project is scheduled for summer 2025, with a strict 7-day contract duration divided into three sequential phases: crack repair (4 days), surface seal (2 days), and pavement marking (1 day). The bid is due on May 13, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid conference required to discuss material requirements, submittals, construction safety protocols, and airfield paving construction specifics. Contractors must demonstrate comprehensive understanding of airport operational safety, environmental compliance, and precise technical execution of runway and taxiway surface treatments.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the project requires contractors to have significant airport infrastructure experience and comply with federal aviation standards. The contract will be awarded based on technical competence, safety protocols, and ability to minimize airport operational disruptions during the construction period. A pre-bid conference is mandatory, suggesting potential restrictions or specific qualifications for bidders. The project involves close coordination with airport management, requiring contractors to use specific radio frequencies, adhere to safety area protocols, and manage foreign object debris throughout the construction process. Though precise budget details are not provided, the comprehensive technical specifications and AIP funding suggest a significant infrastructure investment. The project emphasizes contractor responsibilities for maintaining airport operations, safety standards, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Mobilization is limited to 10 percent of the total project cost, and contractors must provide comprehensive documentation and coordinate closely with the engineering team throughout the construction process.
