OAR 731-070-0160
Use of a Process that Permits ODOT Feedback and Ability of Proponents to Supplement or Refine Proposals after Initial Submission

(1)

For Original Unsolicited Proposals: ODOT reserves the right, to be exercised in its sole and absolute discretion, to require or to permit proposers to submit, at any time, revisions, clarifications to, or supplements of their previously submitted proposals. ODOT may, in the exercise of this authority, require proposers to add features, concepts, elements, information or explanations that were not included in their initial proposals, and may require them to delete features, concepts, elements, information or explanations that were included in their initial proposals. A proposer will not be legally bound to accept a request to add to or delete from a proposal any feature, concept, element or information, but its refusal to do so in response to a request by ODOT shall constitute sufficient grounds for ODOT to elect to terminate consideration of its proposal.

(2)

For Competing Proposals:

(a)

After ODOT’s opening and review of Competing Proposals, ODOT may issue or post on its website an addendum to the request for Competing Proposals that:

(A)

Requires proposers to address or add physical features or elements, and information or explanations that were not included in their initial proposals; or

(B)

Requires proposers to delete physical features or elements that were included in their initial proposals.

(b)

ODOT will send any such addendum that it issues by a method other than posting on its website to all proposers who are eligible to compete under the particular Competing Proposal process.

(c)

ODOT will issue or electronically post an addendum issued under this section. The addendum will contain a deadline by which the proposers must submit to ODOT any additions to, modifications of or deletions from their proposals.

(d)

A proposer will not be legally bound to accept a request to add to or delete from a proposal any feature, element or information or explanation, but its refusal to do so in response to an addendum issued by ODOT shall constitute sufficient grounds for ODOT to elect to terminate consideration of the proposer’s Competing Proposal and also may be considered by ODOT in determining the proposer to be selected as the result of the Competing Proposals process.
