This is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by Clackamas County, Oregon for Bid #2025-75, the Clackamas County School Beacon Upgrades Project. The project involves transforming solar-powered school flashing beacons to AC power systems across five local schools: Oregon Trail Elementary, Alder Creek Middle School, Riverside Elementary, Jennings Lodge Elementary, and Scouters Mountain Elementary. The County intends to award the contract to Global Electric, Inc., the apparent successful bidder. Electronic bids were submitted through Bid Locker with a deadline of October 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The project has a substantial completion date of September 30, 2026, and a final completion date of November 15, 2026. The notice initiates a seven-calendar-day protest period during which unsuccessful bidders may file written protests via email to Tralee Whitley at Twhitley@clackamas.us.

The contract award amount to Global Electric, Inc. is $398,795.00, which is below the Engineer's estimate of $482,560.00. Bidders were required to be prequalified electrical contractors and submit bids at least two business days after prequalification. The contract mandates compliance with prevailing wage rates under Oregon state regulations and requires successful bidders to furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract sum. A 10% bid security was required of all bidders. The procurement encouraged participation from Historically Underrepresented Businesses, including state-certified minority, women, and emerging small businesses, with bidders required to perform Good Faith Efforts by contacting at least three such subcontractors for each division of work. The notice indicates that the award is contingent upon the apparent successful bidder negotiating and executing a contract with terms and conditions acceptable to the County.
