All correspondence must be made through the Vendor Portal. Specifications include, but are not limited to: The K22603 I-405: Freemont Bridge (Willamette River) West Ramps project paints the steel members of the bridge approach ramps on the west end of the Fremont Bridge, Structures: 09268, 09268A, 09268B, 09268E, 09268N, 09268S and 09268W. At its current funding it automatically triggers a need for a Value Engineering exercise. To accomplish all this, we are planning to use a phased approach, with the initial effort (the “Phase I”) including: Additional targeted investigation to identify the best / highest priority places to paint on the bridge. The goal is to develop a phasing plan to ensure efficient delivery of the entire structure. The main span tie girder is no longer part of this initial effort and will be handled by ODOT Bridge Maintenance. Prioritization of the painting effort. Cost Risk Analysis / Value Engineering (“CRA/VE”) - tentative opportunities to examine include painting the inside the box girders, construction staging; painting approach – hanging from the structure, working from the ground; coating systems (3 phase coating system or duplex); color – original or faded; possible consideration of an Alternative Procurement method to ensure we have a painting contractor as a prime Design Verification / Proof of Concept. ROW (review of tenant agreements). Design Verification / Design Acceptance. Agency may use internal resources to perform survey, environmental clearances, and public involvement.
