US101/OR540 ADA Curb Ramps (Coos Bay/North Bend), Phase 2

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is conducting a Design-Build procurement for the US101/OR540 ADA Curb Ramps Project in Coos Bay and North Bend, Phase 2, focusing on remediation of ADA-compliant curb ramps across three price centers. The project involves designing and constructing approximately 200+ curb ramps across OR540 and US101, with work divided into multiple design units in three distinct geographical segments. Proposers must provide comprehensive technical and price proposals, demonstrating expertise in design services, quality management, construction mobilization, and ADA accessibility improvements. The project requires detailed technical submissions addressing organizational expertise, technical approach, project scheduling, quality management, and DBE performance plans. Evaluation will be conducted using a best-value methodology, with technical proposals scored up to 300 points (across categories like organization, technical approach, scheduling, and quality management) and price proposals scored up to 100 points. The pre-proposal meeting was held on August 14, 2025, with technical and price proposals due on November 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and an anticipated Notice of Intent to Award in early December 2025.

The procurement includes specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals of 7.5% for design services and 6% for construction services, with proposers required to submit an Open-Ended Performance Plan (OEPP). The project mandates that the Design-Builder perform at least 30% of construction services using their own organization. Unsuccessful proposers meeting responsiveness criteria and scoring at least 40% of total technical proposal points are eligible for a $75,000 proposal stipend. The contract is subject to federal Davis-Bacon and Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries prevailing wage requirements, with mandatory performance and payment bonds at 100% of the contract amount. Right-of-way acquisition is ongoing, with temporary construction easements available by March 15, 2026, and permanent acquisitions by September 15, 2026. The project is limited to two shortlisted proposers from a prior Request for Qualifications process, with contract completion targeted for December 31, 2027, including interim milestones on December 31, 2026, and October 31, 2027.
