Norton Ave and Larkspur Path School Connection

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), acting on behalf of the City of Bend, is soliciting Architecture and Engineering (A&E) services for the Norton Ave and Larkspur Path School Connection project in Region 4. The scope of work involves advancing the project from the Design Acceptance Package to Final Plans, Specifications, and Estimates. Key project components include the development of a multi-use path along Neff Road to connect the Larkspur Trail to Juniper Elementary and Pilot Butte Middle Schools, as well as the implementation of bike boulevard treatments, including signing, striping, and speed bumps, along NE Norton Avenue between 6th and 12th Streets. The contract is structured as a Work Order Contract (WOC) and is restricted to consultants who hold a Price Agreement in the A&E Full-Service series Tiers A and B. The project is anticipated to start in October 2026, with design completion expected by June 2028. The estimated construction budget for the project is 3,400,000 dollars. Selected consultants will provide professional services through two primary phases, including Professional of Record and Construction Engineering Support. Evaluation of proposals is based on a 200-point scale, weighing the technical approach, project samples, key staff resumes, and clarity, with the potential for additional points through interviews. Compliance requirements include adherence to ADA standards, ODOT design manuals, and strict certification regarding conflicts of interest, non-discrimination, and sexual harassment policies. All deliverables must be signed and sealed by an Oregon Registered Engineer and conform to an approved Consultant Quality Plan.
