ARC security gate enhancements

The Oregon Military Department is seeking qualified contractors for a security gate enhancement project at the Andersen Readiness Center (ARC) in Marion County, Salem. The procurement is a Request for Quote (RFQ) 250053C001 for replacing and upgrading the existing security gate system, which was originally installed in 2001 and is experiencing significant wear. Specific deliverables include installing a new Doorking 1601 Barrier Arm Gate with a 115V 1PH 1/2HP Operator, 10' Aluminum Arm, down loop detector, photo eye, and 3-button control station. The project requires comprehensive gate maintenance, including replacement of existing gate motors, controllers, and actuators. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 8, 2025, at 8:00am, with quotes due by September 18, 2025, at 10:00am. The project timeline includes a 15-calendar day start from the Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion targeted at 120 calendar days and final completion at 150 calendar days.

Contractors must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and may be subject to prevailing wage requirements if the project bid exceeds $50,000. The contract is potentially federally funded, which necessitates compliance with federal provisions including non-discrimination regulations, clean air and water requirements, and Buy America Act standards. An Owner's Contingency Budget of $7,500.00 is included, to be used at the Owner's discretion. Insurance requirements encompass workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability coverage. Contractors will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits, performing utility locates, and coordinating work to minimize facility operational interruptions. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the project involves complex technical specifications for security infrastructure upgrades, suggesting a preference for experienced contractors with specialized security systems installation expertise. The project will integrate with existing Lenel network systems and requires upgrading components including gate controllers, safety sensors, photo eyes, and mechanical components like sprockets and chains.
