Clackamas County Board Of County Commissioners Agenda Item
The Board of County Commissioners, acting as the governing body for Water Environment Services, considered a resolution to exempt the Sandy River Lane Force Main Replacement Project from competitive bidding requirements. The project, necessitated by a pipeline exposure during 2025 storm events, involves a trenchless technology replacement of the force main to prevent sewage release into the Sandy River. The Board reviewed findings to approve the use of a Progressive Design Build (PDB) delivery method and an RFP procurement process to address the project's unique nature, compressed schedule, and risk mitigation requirements.
