R2 Paving RFB - I-5 SB Shoulder Grading and Paving MP234. 56-MP234. 95

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking bids for an on-call paving project under the Region 2 Paving Price Agreement for Interstate 5 in Lincoln County. The procurement is specifically a Request for Bid (RFB) for shoulder grading and paving work between mileposts 234.56 and 234.95, involving regrading and paving a 3-inch lift to widen the shoulder from 11 feet to 13 feet over a 1,900-foot section. Only contractors holding the On-Call Region 2 Paving Price Agreement are eligible to submit bids, with a strict requirement that submissions must be received by August 10, 2023, at 11:00 am. The project scope includes key deliverables such as mobilization, temporary traffic control, paving, and aggregate base installation. Specific project requirements mandate the use of prevailing wage rates and include detailed traffic control measures. The project has a required completion date of September 30, 2023, with payment to the contractor based on actual quantities provided and performed, and notably, no compaction testing will be required.

The procurement appears to be strictly limited to existing price agreement holders, effectively restricting broader competitive bidding. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were identified in the documentation. The project is located within Marion County and the City of Salem, suggesting regional economic impact for local contractors. While exact budget ranges were not explicitly stated in the provided documents, the project involves infrastructure improvement on a state highway, indicating substantial potential contract value. The procurement follows standard ODOT contracting protocols, with a focused approach on pre-qualified contractors through the existing On-Call Region 2 Paving Price Agreement. Interested bidders must ensure they meet the precise qualification criteria of being a current price agreement holder and have the technical capability to perform the specified road shoulder improvement work within the designated timeframe.
