New Clackamas Village Project

Clackamas County's Housing and Community Development Division is soliciting sealed bids for the New Clackamas Village Project, an emergency housing development located in Clackamas County, Oregon. The procurement involves constructing an emergency housing village on a vacant lot using modular construction techniques. Specific deliverables include a kitchen module, two office modules, two bathroom modules, and eight sleeping modules, which will be prefabricated offsite and then installed. The project requires comprehensive site preparation, including geotechnical considerations, erosion and sediment control, and stormwater management strategies. Potential bidders must attend mandatory walk-throughs, which were scheduled for February 12 and 15, 2024, and submit sealed bids by March 5, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Bidders will need to demonstrate technical capabilities in modular construction, site preparation, utility coordination, and compliance with local building and permitting requirements. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scopes will be design-build, requiring contractors to provide necessary subcontractor drawings for state and local permitting.

The procurement documents do not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. While no disadvantaged enterprise requirements are specified, bidders will need to comply with state prevailing wage regulations, as evidenced by references to BOLI (Bureau of Labor and Industries) rates. The geotechnical report suggests potential challenges with existing site conditions, including areas of undocumented fill that may require additional preparation and potential over-excavation. Technical requirements include installing a 6-mil vapor barrier in crawlspaces, managing on-site soil distribution, and coordinating underground utilities. The project will involve constructing thirteen total buildings on the site, with eight designated as housing modules. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documents, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving site preparation, modular construction, utility coordination, and extensive technical specifications—suggests a significant capital investment for Clackamas County's emergency housing initiative.
