Camp withycombe security gate enhancements

The Oregon Military Department is seeking a contractor for the Camp Withycombe Security Gate Enhancements project in Clackamas County, specifically to upgrade security gate systems at the Main and Back gates of the facility located in Happy Valley, Oregon. The Request for Quote (RFQ) 250049C001 requires comprehensive gate system replacements, including installing new barrier arm gates with safety sensors, detector loops, controllers, and associated components for both entrance points. Key deliverables include replacing existing Chamberlain Elite gate controllers installed in 2010, installing new gate motors, safety sensors, photo eyes, bumper stops, sprockets, chains, guides, and rollers. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 22, 2025, with quotes due by September 4, 2025. The project timeline requires a start date within 15 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, substantial completion in 120 calendar days, and final completion in 150 calendar days. Bidders must possess a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, maintain clear status on the Excluded Parties List System, and comply with Oregon Construction Contractors Board registration requirements.

The procurement is federally funded and requires bidders to provide bid security equal to 10% of their total offer. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with prevailing wage rates for bids exceeding $50,000 and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, and Workers' Compensation with specified coverage limits. The project includes a $10,000 Owner's Contingency budget and will utilize DoorKing Model 1601 barrier gates with 10-foot arms, designed for single-lane vehicular control. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned, the project involves technical specifications for UL325 certified equipment with precise installation requirements. The gate systems will integrate electronic limit settings, reflective photo eyes, down loops, and three-button control stations with open, close, and stop functions. The technical complexity suggests that qualified electrical and security systems contractors with experience in military facility infrastructure will be most competitive for this opportunity.
