A voluntary site walk is available upon request and must be scheduled by 5:00 p.m. on July 8, 2026.

The scope encompasses repair and restoration of the Medal of Honor Monument, Afghan-Iraqi Freedom Memorial, VFW Statue, Korean War Monument, Spanish-American War Memorial, Doughboy Statue, and Oregon WWII Memorial located at 700 Summer Street NE and the corner of Cottage Street NE and Court Street NE.

All work must occur during ODVA's regular business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) unless otherwise approved. The contractor shall commence within thirty days of contract execution.

Respondents must quote labor (as hourly rates multiplied by total hours) and materials separately for each of the seven monuments and use Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries prevailing wage rates, as this project qualifies as a public improvement project. Pricing must be held firm for ninety days from submission. Award will be made on best-value basis as determined by ODVA.

Insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation coverage; Commercial General Liability with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate; Automobile Liability with combined single limits of not less than $1 million; and Excess/Umbrella coverage of $5 million. The State of Oregon must be named as an Additional Insured on all liability policies except Workers' Compensation. Contractors must obtain all required permits prior to commencing work and provide protective barriers for work zones.
