Traffic Control and Flagging Services

Washington County's Land Use and Transportation Operations/Maintenance Division is seeking bids for Traffic Control and Flagging Services through a competitive procurement process. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) requires prospective contractors to provide comprehensive traffic control and flagging services, with a focus on supporting county transportation operations. Bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and demonstrate compliance with prevailing wage rate requirements. The solicitation requires contractors to submit detailed proposals by 2:00 pm on Friday, April 12, 2024, with submissions to be made through www.washcopurch.com/biz. Key qualifications include maintaining a drug and alcohol testing program and providing proof of residency status. Bidders will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, compliance with regulatory requirements, and overall responsiveness to the county's needs.

The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and all qualified contractors are eligible to submit bids. Potential respondents will be cross-checked against the Bureau of Labor and Industries and Construction Contractor's Board list of ineligible contractors to ensure compliance. The estimated contract value is approximately $350,000, indicating a significant opportunity for traffic control service providers. Washington County reserves the right to reject any or all bids, maintaining flexibility in the selection process. The contract does not require specialized licensing for asbestos work, which may broaden the pool of potential bidders. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, suggesting this could be a new or re-competed service contract. Interested contractors should carefully review all bid documents and ensure they meet the comprehensive compliance requirements outlined in the solicitation.
