ON-CALL SERVICES FOR REHABILITATION OF LOAD DEFICIENT BRIDGES

The Oregon Department of Transportation is soliciting proposals under solicitation S-73000-00017007 for a Price Agreement to provide on-call professional services for the field investigation, evaluation, analysis, design, and repair of highway bridges, movable bridge systems, and related components. This contract is structured as a Price Agreement where specific tasks are assigned via Work Order Contracts over a seven-year assignment period. The scope specifically excludes repairs defined as public improvements. Award decisions are based on a scoring and ranking system that evaluates responsiveness, responsibility, and proposal quality, with a strong emphasis on the proposer's ability to follow strict submission instructions, including a five-page limit for the main proposal and a maximum of ten one-page resumes for key staff. The contract mandates compliance with various regulatory standards, including Oregon Revised Statutes, federal and state OSHA requirements, and ADA guidelines for pedestrian-related designs. Proposers must be registered in OregonBuys and provide certifications regarding conflicts of interest and truthfulness. The agency encourages the participation of COBID-certified small businesses, assigning a 12 percent aspirational target for state-funded work orders exceeding 100,000 dollars. Payment terms are set at 45 calendar days from the receipt of a proper invoice, with options for time and materials, fixed-price, milestone, or lump-sum payments. Deliverables are subject to a formal acceptance process, where the agency has 15 business days to review submissions, and failure to meet criteria after two attempts constitutes a contractor default.
