MIM Interstate 5 Mp 69-76 Grinding and Paving

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking bids for a pavement preservation project on Interstate 5 between mileposts 69-76 in Josephine County, specifically targeting grinding and paving activities. The procurement is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a state-funded public improvement contract involving a two-inch deep inlay pavement preservation process. Key deliverables include cold plane pavement removal, application of emulsified asphalt tack coat, and placement of PG76-22ER asphalt binder across designated northbound and southbound highway segments. Bidders must submit proposals through the OregonBuys eProcurement system by March 25, 2025, with a substantial completion date of May 15, 2025, and final completion by May 31, 2025. Contractors must be licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board, comply with state tax laws, and maintain a qualifying drug testing program. The project requires a 10% bid security and will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with potential adjustments for non-resident bidder preferences.

The procurement encourages participation from minority, women, emerging small, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, demonstrating a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Successful bidders will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract price. The project will utilize ODOT's 2024 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction and allows nightly lane closures between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM from Sunday night through Friday morning. While specific budget figures are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive bid pricing form suggests a substantial infrastructure investment, with line items covering mobilization, temporary work zone traffic control, pollution control, and detailed pavement rehabilitation activities. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage rate requirements and demonstrate the capability to manage complex highway construction tasks, including utility coordination and environmental protection measures.
