The primary project objective is to inject an expanding chemical soilgrout to waterproof and seal the underside of ponds 1-3, preventing potential fish escape and addressing subbase void issues. The contract includes specific deliverables such as mobilization and demobilization, installation of grout injection ports, and soilgrout injection, with technical specifications requiring precise application and quality control standards. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on October 25, 2022, with bid submissions due by November 1, 2022, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time.

The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest total responsive base bid.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions noted for this procurement. The bid was competitively solicited, with only one bid received from Molecular Inc. at $120,525.00. Bidders will be evaluated based on total base bid amount, with the state reserving the right to adjust quantities or remove items to meet budgetary constraints. The pricing structure includes lump sum payments for mobilization and injection port installation, with additional unit pricing per gallon of soilgrout product used. Contractors are expected to provide all necessary labor, equipment, materials, and permits to complete the project, with all work not specifically itemized considered incidental to the contract. The project is funded through state and local jurisdictional resources, though specific funding sources are not detailed in the procurement documents. The contract requires comprehensive project management, including coordination with the ODFW Project Engineer, Charles Matteson, and adherence to all technical specifications and quality control standards outlined in the bid documents.
