PBOT seeks Council’s authorization for Procurement Services to execute a contract for the OR99W/SW Barbur Blvd Area: Sidewalk Infill (Portland) Project. In accordance with Portland City Code Chapter 5.34.020, the Chief Procurement Officer is authorized to solicit bids estimated not to exceed $1,000,000, and the Engineer’s Estimate for this Project was $992,500.50. Bids were solicited and the lowest responsive bid is from Kodiak Pacific Construction Co. in the amount of $1,019,180.00. PBOT conducted a bid analysis and determined the bidder was 2.69% over the Engineer’s Estimate due to the high labor demand currently prevailing within the commercial construction market, and the specialized nature of project completion. The City issued the Notice of Intent to Award a Contract to Kodiak Pacific Construction Co. on July 26, 2022, and no protests were received. Ordinance No. 179568 authorized PBOT to participate in Oregon Department of Transportations (ODOT) Local Public Agency Certification Program for the delivery of federal-aid projects. On June 29, 2011, ODOT’s Director informed the Mayor that PBOT had successfully completed the requirements to become fully certified, and City Council accepted ODOT’s certification acknowledgement by Ordinance No. 184710. This is a federal-aid transportation project under the ODOT Federal-Aid Highway Program. Under ODOT’s certification, this project will be reviewed and audited by ODOT for federal-aid project compliance. Part of the certification is that ODOT shall administer on behalf of the City, ODOT’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), and On-The-Job Training (OJT) programs. As such, ODOT establishes the minimum DBE goals for each federal-aid project in compliance with 49 CFR 26. The criteria used in assigning project goals includes: project location, size, duration, dollar value, and the availability of DBE firms that can perform identified subcontracting opportunities. This project has a 10% DBE goal. ODOT deemed Kodiak Pacific Construction to be responsive to the DBE requirement. Kodiak Pacific Construction has a committed DBE participation goal of 10.60%. State based certifications other than DBE are not reported in Federal Aid projects. Kodiak Pacific Construction Co. has identified the following COBID firm as a participating company: Subcontractor Certification Area of Work Ownership Amount IMN Traffic Specialties, LLC DBE Flagging African American/Female $59,500.00 Frank's Excavating, LLC DBE Excavation Hispanic/Male $20,645.00 Egami Construction, INC DBE Traffic Signals Asian Pacific/Female $27,842.00 Total $107,987.00 Kodiak Pacific Construction Co. has a current City of Portland Business Tax Registration and is in Full Compliance with the contracting requirements. They are located in Tualatin, Oregon and are not a State Certified COBID contractor. This estimate construction cost for this contract is $1,019,180.00, with funds available in the PBOT FY 22/23 budget. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs: The Chief Procurement Officer is authorized to execute a contract with Kodiak Pacific Construction Co. for a sum of $1,019,180.00 for the OR99W/SW Barbur Blvd Area: Sidewalk Infill (Portland) Project. The Mayor and Auditor are hereby authorized to draw and deliver checks chargeable to PBOT project T00946 Fiscal Year 22/23 funds when demand is presented and approved by the proper authorities. Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because a delay would unnecessarily delay the City’s ability to perform the activities authorized by the grant; therefore, this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
