Summer continues to shine with OECR!
OECR and Construction Office at the Interstate Bridge Replacement Industry Event June 2026
Welcome to the July edition of the OECR Newsletter! Summer is in full swing, and with it comes Oregon’s busiest construction season. Across the state, crews, partners, and community members are working hard to keep projects moving safely and efficiently. As we navigate this energetic season together, please remember to stay alert in work zones, follow posted signs, and give workers the space they need to stay safe.
We invite you to explore this month’s updates, share them with your networks, and stay connected as we build momentum into the season ahead.
This month OECR reminds our business partners to review your certification timelines and stay ahead of upcoming recertifications. We also encourage you to explore newer certification options. such as OSBE (Oregon Small Business Enterprise), which may open additional doors for future opportunities, including long‑term regional projects. Staying current ensures your firm remains visible and ready for upcoming contracting work across Oregon.
Our partners at the COBID office can support you with more.
As part of OECR’s Training Series, we’re pleased to share two helpful construction training videos designed to support contractors, consultants, and community partners working on ODOT projects. These sessions provide clear guidance on contract requirements, compliance expectations, and best practices for navigating project delivery. Whether you’re new to ODOT work or looking for a refresher, these videos offer practical insights to help you stay prepared and successful throughout the construction season.
