BLUE LAKE REGIONAL PARK IRRIGATION PUMP HOUSE 

Bids due: June 4, 2025 @ 2:00 PM

INVITATION TO BID

ITB 4463 

Metro is inviting bids for Blue Lake Regional Park Irrigation Pump House. 

Bids are due no later than 2:00 p.m. June 4, 2025 in Metro’s business offices at 600 NE Grand Avenue, Portland, OR 97232-2736, Attention: Deanna Podbielan, Procurement Analyst, ITB 4463. Responses will be opened publicly at that time. 

A VOLUNTARY Pre-Bid Conference and walkthrough is scheduled for all potential prime and sub-contractors at the Blue Lake Regional Park’s east parking lot, 21224 NE Blue Lake Rd, Fairview, OR 97024 on May 20, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. Interested bidders and subcontractors are encouraged to attend the conference in order to gain information about the ITB requirements. 

Blue Lake Regional Park is undergoing a series of bond-funded improvements, including utility improvements to support future park renovation plans. In a previous phase of work a new irrigation main line was installed and terminated at the existing well pump house. An assessment of the pump house in 2017 determined it was at “end of life” and did not meet seismic or accessibility code requirements for staff and equipment safety. The outdated well pump system is not functional and components to maintain a potable water system for the park are now obsolete. 

Solicitation documents can be viewed and downloaded from Bid Locker (bidlocker.us)
