Stormwater Filter

The Oregon Military Department is seeking a contractor to install a stormwater filter system at the Portland Air National Guard Base located at 6801 NE Cornfoot Road in Portland, Oregon. The project involves installing a stormwater sock filter to reduce and mitigate phosphorus in stormwater runoff, utilizing government-provided materials with all labor, transportation, equipment, and services to be supplied by the selected contractor. Contractors must be licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and will need specific qualifications including certification for confined space work, OSHA 10 compliance, and ability to provide dewatering equipment and labor. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Tuesday, August 12th, 2025, at 0900 PT in Building 140 at the base, with bids due on Thursday, August 28th, 2025, at 1:00 PM PT. The project timeline includes a 90-calendar-day start from Notice to Proceed, substantial completion at 180 calendar days, and final completion at 300 calendar days, with a required 3-year contractor warranty.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide bid security equal to 10% of their total offer amount and submit performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the awarded contract amount. The project estimate ranges from $15,000 to $20,000 for bonding purposes and is funded through state and federal sources, though it does not exceed $25,000. Contractors will be subject to strict base security requirements, including Real ID compliance for facility access and mandatory government escort when working in restricted areas. The work involves complex technical specifications, including installing filter media wrapped in fabric within a 5-foot diameter concrete retention pond pipe, with specific installation requirements such as using C-clamps, zip ties, and precise positioning of filter socks. Potential contractors should be prepared for possible random work shutdowns due to base activities and must coordinate closely with the 142 SFS/Resource Protection Office for base access and project implementation.
