Timber bridge deck and rail materials

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking competitive quotes for timber bridge deck and rail materials through a Request for Competitive Quotes (RFCQ) targeting specific projects in Marion County and the City of Salem. The procurement focuses on procuring various timber elements including glue laminated (glulam) girders, deck panels, timber curbs, railings, scupper blocks, and guardrail posts, with specific preservative treatment requirements. Bidders are expected to provide unit and total pricing for timber components, while ODOT will independently provide steel connections and hardware. The solicitation (Bid # S-73000-00005103) requires submissions through the OregonBuys e-procurement system, with a firm deadline of January 3, 2023, at 11:00 am Pacific Time. Deliverables must be prepared according to detailed technical specifications and include materials to be delivered by March 31, 2023, to a site in Seal Rock, Oregon. ODOT will award the contract to the offeror submitting the lowest compliant price quote or the quote that best serves the department's interests.

The RFCQ documents do not specify any explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or specific restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation. Bidders will be required to complete a responsibility inquiry form and provide insurance certificates as part of the procurement process. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves supplying timber bridge materials for infrastructure projects. Potential respondents should note that the contract appears to be a materials supply agreement rather than a construction services contract, with a focused scope of providing specific timber elements for bridge infrastructure. Interested vendors must be capable of meeting precise technical specifications for timber treatment, dimensions, and delivery requirements, and should be prepared to submit detailed pricing information through the OregonBuys system.
