Camp Rilea Gryphon Radar Tower Project

The Oregon Military Department is requesting bids on construction of a self-supported, 30-foot-tall hot-dipped galvanized radar tower with integrated platform and access systems at Camp Rilea under Solicitation #250030C001, with sealed bids due June 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM PT. A mandatory on-site pre-bid conference at Camp Rilea Building 7241 in Warrenton on May 28, 2026 at 10:00 AM is required for bid responsiveness.

The scope includes a four-legged tower with a 12-foot by 12-foot expanded metal hot-dipped galvanized platform, removable nonmetallic guard rails, access ladder with anti-climb barrier, and tie-off points for maintenance personnel servicing an 8-foot radome-enclosed Gryphon Radar station weighing approximately 420 pounds. All fasteners must be hot-dipped galvanized. The tower must be designed per the manufacturer's construction instructions and foundation design to withstand North Oregon Coast winds in a salty environment.

The estimated project budget is $135,000 to $150,000, including a $10,000 owner's contingency controlled by OMD. Funding from state and federal sources is anticipated; award is contingent on OMD's receipt of sufficient funds. Project start is 30 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion within 70 calendar days and final completion within 200 calendar days.

Bidders must be registered with Oregon's Construction Contractors Board prior to submission and maintain current registration. A Unique Entity Identifier and EPLS search clearance are required. Bid security of 10 percent of the total bid amount and 100 percent performance and payment bonds are required. Prevailing wage rates per Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries apply. Work is performed at Camp Rilea in Clatsop County. The deadline for protests, clarification requests, and brand-name substitution requests is June 4, 2026 at 10:00 AM. Five percent retainage applies to progress payments.
