RFCQ - BR08306 and BR20060 Deck Testing

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive bridge deck testing services for two specific bridge locations: the New Youngs Bay Bridge (BR08306) and the I-5 Northbound to Beltline Highway Westbound ramp bridge (BR20060). The procurement is structured as a Request for Competitive Quotes (RFCQ) with a submission deadline of March 26, 2025, at 11:00 am Pacific Time through the OregonBuys e-procurement system. The project requires detailed technical services including a delamination survey, reinforcement depth survey, deck coring, and associated data processing. Specifically, the work involves extracting 16 concrete cores from the New Youngs Bay bridge, with precise sampling instructions such as taking 4-inch diameter cores at least 4.5 inches long, with one core in the wheel rut for every 10,000 square feet. The evaluation criteria will be based on either the lowest price or the quote that best serves ODOT, considering both price and additional factors. Contractors must complete all on-site coring work within 12 consecutive calendar days, with the entire project to be completed by May 16, 2025.

The solicitation emphasizes non-discrimination and equal opportunity for business enterprises, though no specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal is set for this procurement. Potential bidders must complete a competitive quote form, provide references for comparable projects, and be prepared to submit additional documentation if selected, including certificates of insurance and a responsibility inquiry form. Contractors must also comply with Oregon business registration requirements. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project involves technical testing of bridge infrastructure with specific requirements for core extraction, photography, logging, and labeling. The contract will cover services at both bridge locations, with pricing to be determined by the contractor's unit pricing for administration, mobilization, traffic control, stand-by time, chain dragging, reinforcement depth survey, and data processing. Although no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the testing services suggests a significant investment in infrastructure assessment and maintenance.
