ODOT Redirect
Governor Ted Kulongoski signed into law Senate Bill 338, the “Go Oregon” state stimulus plan. The plan authorizes $175 million in bonding to fund projects that will make needed repairs to schools, colleges, transportation infrastructure and address deferred maintenance projects across the state. The projects will create jobs for Oregonians at a time when the unemployment rate continues to climb.
Projects for the Oregon Department of Transportation account for $4.4 million in "Go Oregon" funding. ODOT will let 101 projects for bid. Projects will be in every region of state. The majority of the projects are small, under $50,000 and will go through a streamlined small contracting process. Several of the projects are over $50,000 and will be advertised through the Oregon Procurement Information Network (ORPIN) Web site.
Projects are not heavy highway construction. They include a variety of facilities construction and maintenance work on ODOT property statewide including:
Portland Metro Region - 8 projects, 1 over $50,000
Willamette Valley and Oregon Coast - 24 projects, 3 over $50,000
