The public hearing is for the purpose of receiving public comment from interested parties on the draft findings for an exemption to the competitive bidding requirement for Roof Safety Upgrades at the Metro Central Transfer Station (the Project). In accordance with the draft findings, Metro’s Procurement Services has recommended that the Metro Contract Review board exempt the Project from the requirements of competitive bidding under ORS Chapter 279C and Metro Contract Review Board Administrative Rules Sections 49-0600 – 49-0695 and utilize an alternative competitive solicitation method. At the hearing, after an opportunity for receipt of public comment, the Metro Contract Review Board will consider adoption of the draft findings and approval by resolution of the utilization of a Request for Proposals process to solicit a Construction Manager/General Contractor for the Project. The Project will consist of the construction of roof safety upgrades at Metro Central Transfer Station located at 6161 NW 61st Avenue in Portland. The current structure is a combination of bays constructed from 1920 to 1990 – all before OSHA fall protection requirements were in place. The overall Project budget is estimated to be $600.000.00.
