The project work will consist of a 12-day closure of North Valley Road between Ribbon Ridge and Albertson Road, Full Depth Repairs (FDR) in four separate areas, two culvert replacements, and construction of 7 embankment turn outs along the closed portion of the road. Closure to include detour signage and two PCMS reader boards. The FDR work will include 32” of excavation, estimated to be 1,440’ x 12’. The existing pavement is 10”-11” thick. A geotechnical report is available. The pavement is to be removed by Cold Planning and to be placed as subbase. The turn outs will be constructed with the FDR excavation spoils. The upper 12” of the turn outs will be constructed out of salvaged or imported grindings. Approximately 1000 cys of stockpiled grindings owned by Yamhill County will be required to be trucked to the jobsite. Stockpile location is at the Baker Creek Rd. and N. Hill Rd. yard just outside McMinnville. Paving of FDR work will require 4 inches of Level II AC. A Summer 2026 Pre-level and Overlay project from Ribbon Ridge to Albertson Road will follow this work but will not be included in this project. The 48” x 44’ culvert, 8’ deep requires completion during In Water Work Window (IWWW). Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has stated that the 48” pipe replacement may be installed early than the IWWW if no flows are present in the tributary of Chehalem Creek. It is typical that flows stop by end of June. The second pipe replacement is an 18” x 50’ culvert near the 48” pipe replacement. These two pipes also require 4” of trench patching. All contract work is to be completed by July 18th, 2026.

Questions Asked:
1). 02/04/2026: Where is the "No Cost Disposal Site?
Response: In Section B.1 Project Identification, 8th line of paragraph states “A no cost disposal site is noted on the plans”. See the KMZ file below under "Related Documents", named, "Farrel Fuerst Disposal Site (KMZ)" for disposal location and contact information
2). 02/05/2026: “I have a question regarding the road closure for the turnout portion in Schedule B. Will the road closure period be extended if schedule B is chosen? The turnout portion adds several days to the schedule extending beyond the closure day count. If the road closure is not extended, do you anticipate flagging will be needed for the turn outs? How would the flagging be paid?”
Response: No additional days of road closure will be allowed. Turn Out (T.O.) work must be completed during the 12-calendar day road closure. Work may need to proceed concurrently between the FDR’s and the T.O.’s.
