ODOT is committed to working with our industry partners. The project team is currently hosting constructability review meetings and contractor briefings to provide information to interested contractors and gather feedback on design, specifications and potential risks.
Past meeting materials, including meeting summaries and Q&A, are listed below. Links to future meetings will be provided as they are available.
ODOT encourages Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) to participate in contracts through the Civil Rights Program. ODOT is implementing numerous strategies to position DBEs for success and build a pipeline for future minority workers on the I-205 Improvements Project. ODOT is hosting “Meet the Primes” matchmaking DBE events. In addition, to further DBE program goals, we will ask the project contractor to provide small business capacity strengthening, technical assistance and performance metrics.
COBID-certified DBEs include small businesses that are at least 51% owned by:

Participants provided feedback on shaft construction; work bridge and access; sequence and schedule; and qualifications and contracting.
The project team hosted a Constructability Review Meeting with participation from construction industry partners to receive input on proposed design, specifications, and potential risks. The intent of the meeting was to provide information to interested contractors and subcontractors, communicate TERO program requirements and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) participation goals, and solicit input from industry on the project. This input most notably resulted in Phase 1 being broken out into smaller bid packages.
