Metal Fabrication, Welding and On Site Installation

Washington County, Oregon is soliciting bids for a metal fabrication, welding, and on-site installation services contract, designated as Solicitation 2025.097-ITB. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive metal fabrication services with specific requirements for on-site installation. All bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and maintain active registration, with failure to do so resulting in bid rejection. Bids are due by 2:00 pm on December 11, 2025, and must be submitted through the Washington County procurement website at www.WashCoPurch.com/biz. Contractors must include a statement confirming their status as a resident bidder under Oregon Revised Statutes and demonstrate compliance with prevailing wage requirements under ORS 279C.800 to 279C.870 or federal wage standards. Additionally, bidders must provide documentation of an employee drug and alcohol testing program, with proof of negative testing or rehabilitation for workers.

The contract has an estimated expenditure of $245,000 and is open to contractors who can meet specific regulatory and compliance requirements. No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise preferences are mentioned in the solicitation documents. Washington County reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will cross-check bidders against the Bureau of Labor and Industries and Construction Contractor's Board lists of ineligible contractors. Notably, licensing for asbestos work is not required for this project, and no pre-qualification of bidders is planned. Contractors must demonstrate their ability to meet technical specifications and regulatory compliance, with the county maintaining significant discretion in the bid evaluation and selection process. The solicitation suggests a competitive bidding environment with potential for multiple vendors to be considered based on their qualifications, compliance documentation, and ability to meet the project's technical and operational requirements.
