US199 @ Demaray Dr MP 2.33 Culvert Replacement Project

The US199 @ Demaray Dr MP 2.33 Culvert Replacement Project is a public improvement contract issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation to replace 135 feet of 24 inch culverts crossing under US199 and Demaray Drive in Josephine County. The scope of work includes removing the existing culverts, installing new 24 inch culverts tied into an existing shoulder manhole, and performing comprehensive site restoration. Restoration efforts involve saw cutting and paving the highway, multi-use path, and concrete curbs, as well as repairing sloped shoulders and replacing removed striping. To ensure public access, the contractor must maintain a temporary travel lane with a minimum width of 16 feet and pave trenches daily using a standard T-patch. The contract is awarded to the responsible bidder providing the lowest responsive bid, calculated based on lump sum and unit prices. Key performance milestones include substantial completion by December 24, 2026, and final completion by December 31, 2026. Bidders must provide bid security equal to 10 percent of the total bid and are required to submit performance and payment bonds upon award. Compliance requirements include adhering to Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries prevailing wage and apprenticeship rates, following Oregon OSHA safety standards, and certifying policies against sexual harassment and discrimination. The project also mandates specific drainage facility marking using Type 1, Type 2, and Type Z markers according to ODOT standard drawings.
