Hello, all.
Last week, ODOT awarded the contract for the OR 58: Salt Creek Tunnel and Half Viaducts project to an Oregon construction firm.
Capital Concrete Construction, Inc. of Aumsville had the low bid of $9.4 million.
During the next month, Capital Concrete Construction will be providing insurance documents and performance bonds to ODOT, leading ultimately to a signed contract. At that point, ODOT will issue a "Notice to proceed."
Once the Notice to Proceed is issued, a preconstruction meeting will be
scheduled and held between the Area 5 office in Springfield and the
contractor. During that "Pre-Con," the final construction schedule
should be confirmed, allowing us to share the scheduled date for this
year's 82 hour closure with you. We anticipate the Pre-Con to be held
in late April and construction to begin in May.
We are sticking to the promises made last year during our productive meetings with various CATs and other public groups.
* The project will run for two construction seasons at the Salt
Creek Tunnel on OR 58, milepost 56.
* In 2012, the construction season will begin in May and continue
until October 15. In 2013, the season will begin on April 1 and continue
until October 15. The actual construction season may be shortened due to weather conditions.
* Motorists should expect a single lane of travel controlled by
flaggers during weekday daytime periods and weekend day and nighttime periods.
* There will be nighttime complete closures between 8 p.m. Monday
until 6 a.m. Friday during the duration of the two construction seasons.
* There will be three 82-hour complete closures during the two
years of construction. These closures are not yet scheduled. They will
begin at 8 p.m. Monday and continue until 6 a.m. Friday. They will not
occur in the months of July or August, and they will not occur in
consecutive weeks.
I'll be back in touch as soon as the construction schedule is set.
Until then, feel free to contact me with any questions.
Best wishes,
