CCCF Fire Panel Upgrade

Southern Oregon University is soliciting lump-sum bids through Invitation to Bid 18287 under the Oregon University System Cooperative Purchasing Consortium for the CCCF Fire Panel Upgrade, with bids due December 17, 2026. The source's file summaries conflict on the facility: the ITB summary names the Cascade Culinary and Conference Center, while the Statement of Work and specifications identify Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, Oregon, a facility of the Oregon Department of Corrections, which issued the Statement of Work.

The scope covers complete demolition, replacement, programming, testing, and commissioning of addressable fire alarm systems across the Medium Security Facility, Minimum Security Facility, and support facilities such as the Central Plant, Physical Plant, Training, Wellness, and Warehouse buildings. The specified systems are Potter AFC-1000E-based panels with full fiber-optic interconnection and PotterNet supervising stations, and all equipment of the same type and capacity must come from the same manufacturer. Products must be certified by testing agencies approved by the State of Oregon. Work must comply with the 2025 OSSC, 2026 OESC, NFPA 72, NFPA 70, NFPA 101, and DOC security requirements. Licensed electricians and limited energy technicians must perform the work, and certified technicians must conduct fire alarm programming. The contractor must provide background-checked staff, two staff training sessions, and a minimum 36-month warranty on fire alarm components issued in the name of the Oregon DOC. The contractor also obtains electrical permits, submits permit drawings within ten business days of notice to proceed, and maintains the existing system as long as practical, with fire watch coverage during any downtime.

The project runs approximately 48 weeks in phases, beginning with a three-week kickoff phase and including 10 weeks for minimum facility installation, 18 weeks for medium security facility work, and 7 weeks for support facilities, followed by a 14-day continuous commissioning period. Payment follows an approved schedule of values tied to verified progress and stored materials. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bidders must review the Attachment B specifications and Attachment C plans before submitting pricing.
