Contracting

Existing ODOT A&E and construction contracts are continuing to move forward. We know that COVID-19 could potentially affect existing and future A&E and construction contracts. We also know these impacts are impossible to predict and could vary widely. Visit our Construction page for more information.

3930 Fairview Industrial Dr. SE, Salem OR 97302 is a locked secured building. If you need to submit a paper bid the bid box has been relocated to the building vestibule. You will need to continue to follow the same instructions for date/time stamping your bid. There is a phone located in the vestibule so you will be able to contact our admin team should you need assistance. Just prior to bid opening, we will open the door and escort you into the lobby for the reading of bid results.

DMV

DMV is replacing its online appointment request form with a new system that lets customers set appointments themselves.

Starting at 8 a.m. Monday, July 6, the new appointment scheduler at OregonDMV.com will let you choose the time, date and office for your appointment – without needing a call-back from DMV. You also will be able to reschedule or cancel an appointment with this new service.

In order to catch up with call-backs for the thousands of requests already submitted, DMV will stop taking appointment requests from 5 p.m. Friday, June 26, through the Fourth of July weekend. Currently, someone who submits an online appointment request gets a call back within four or five business days — so if DMV were to keep the online form open longer, people would be getting calls back after the new system is up and running, delaying their appointment scheduling.

DMV partnered with Oregon law enforcement to exercise discretion in their enforcement of driver licenses, vehicle registrations and trip permits that expire during the COVID-19 emergency.
