R2 Paving RFB - OR18 MP13. 95 and 14. 1 Sunken Road Paving

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking bids for a paving project on Oregon Route 18 at mileposts 13.95 and 14.1 in Tillamook County, specifically targeting two separate pavement repair locations. This procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB) under the On-Call Region 2 Paving Price Agreement series, with bids limited exclusively to existing price agreement holders. The project encompasses comprehensive roadway reconstruction, including an 823-foot by 48-foot section requiring 3-inch mill and 4-inch asphalt concrete pavement replacement, and a 258-foot by 46-foot section requiring guardrail replacement and aggregate base work. Key deliverables include mobilization, traffic control, removal and replacement of guardrails and concrete barriers, pavement markings, rumble strip installation, and inlaid marker replacement. The bid is due on January 28, 2026, with a required project completion date of February 13, 2026. Traffic lane closures are restricted during commute hours (6 AM to 9 AM and 4 PM to 7 PM Monday through Thursday) and prohibited on Fridays, weekends, and state holidays.

The procurement is restricted to pre-qualified contractors holding the existing On-Call Region 2 Paving Price Agreement, effectively limiting bidder participation. The project requires compliance with Oregon Revised Statute 279C.303 domestic preference requirements and prevailing wage rates established by the State of Oregon as of January 5, 2026. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise set-asides are mentioned, contractors must submit completed bid forms with unit and total prices through OregonBuys. Project specifications indicate no aggregate compaction testing beyond standard asphalt concrete pavement testing will be required. The ODOT Project Manager for this procurement is Cody Stone, who can be contacted at 503-953-6334. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving guardrail replacement, embankment stabilization, pavement reconstruction, and surface treatment—suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure rehabilitation. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability in roadway reconstruction, traffic management, and precise civil engineering techniques to successfully execute this project.
