On-Call Rock Scaling Services

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is soliciting qualified contractors for on-call rock scaling and slope maintenance services under solicitation S-73000-00015128. This is a non-exclusive price agreement framework where ODOT intends to award contracts to all responsive and responsible bidders. The resulting agreements will have an initial five-year term, with the possibility of extensions up to a maximum of 15 years. Services are requested on an as-needed basis through individual work orders and encompass rock reduction, temporary rockfall containment, rockfall screen and fence repairs, specialty tree falling, herbicide application, and traffic control. Contractors must provide all necessary equipment, materials, and skilled personnel, including supervisors who must remain on-site at all times. Strict experience requirements are in place, requiring mechanical scaling operators to have completed five similar projects in the last three years and 1,000 hours of documented experience within the last five years. The contract mandates compliance with State and Federal Buy America requirements, prevailing wage rates where specified, and hazardous material communication standards per 29 CFR 1910.1200. Bidders must submit their proposals via the OregonBuys eProcurement system, including a completed bid cover sheet, a project reference list of three to ten similar projects from the last five years, and documentation of their qualifications.
