R2 Paving RFB - OR126 MP11-13 Inlay Paving

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for an On-Call Region 2 Paving project under the state's procurement process, specifically targeting infrastructure improvements on OR126 from Mile Point 11 to Mile Point 13. The project involves a comprehensive 2" continuous inlay paving across the full width of the roadway, with critical work items including cold plane pavement removal (37,511 square yards), Level 3 ACP mixture placement (4,220 tons), and hi-build paint application (32,782 linear feet). Only pre-qualified price agreement holders are eligible to submit bids, which must be submitted through OregonBuys by April 25, 2025, at 4:00 pm, with a mandatory project completion date of June 30, 2025. Key compliance requirements include adherence to domestic preference provisions under ORS 279C.303 and prevailing wage rate standards dated January 5, 2025. Traffic management is strictly regulated, with specific restrictions on holiday and weekend closures and mandatory placement of portable changeable message signs at least 7 days prior to any lane closures.

The procurement is limited to existing ODOT price agreement holders, effectively restricting broad competitive bidding. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The work order will not become effective until signed by ODOT's Procurement Authority, and actual payment will be calculated based on quantities of services actually performed. While a precise budget range was not specified, the project involves substantial road infrastructure work with multiple complex technical requirements. Contractors must demonstrate capability to execute precise roadway inlay and painting specifications, with strict adherence to traffic management protocols. The project is geographically situated in Lake County (FIPS Code 41037), suggesting local economic impact and potential opportunities for regional contractors who meet ODOT's pre-qualification criteria.
