ODOT KEEPS OREGON
BUSINESSES GOING STRONG
Oregon businesses are finding
opportunities for growth with the Oregon
Department of Transportation's OTIA III
State Bridge Delivery Program.
The bridge program is repairing or
replacing more than 300 bridges on
Oregon’s highways. This work stimulates
Oregon's economy and keeps Oregon
businesses strong.
Gladstone-based TLP GeoSpatial Solutions
LLC is providing remote sensing,
topographic, GIS and aerial mapping
services for the bridge program. The
company recently won three contracts
worth more than $120,000 to provide
high-accuracy topographic mapping in
Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge
National Scenic Area, plus additional work
at 17 bridge sites near Eugene.
As a result of these contracts, TLP
GeoSpatial owner Tom Pagh has hired an
Oregon-based small business as a
subcontractor to provide additional services.
