City of Pendleton Fire Station 2 Seismic Rehabilitation

The City of Pendleton is seeking a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Fire Station 2, located in Union County, Oregon. The project involves comprehensive seismic strengthening of an approximately 3,400-square-foot, two-story fire station originally constructed in 1971, with the primary objective of upgrading the building to an Immediate Occupancy (Seismic Risk Category IV) performance level. Key deliverables include installing new concrete shear walls, strengthening existing wood-framed walls, adding metal deck diaphragms, and reinforcing structural elements. Optional additional work may encompass renovating living quarters, constructing a second-floor stairwell, upgrading HVAC and electrical systems, and installing a new alarm system. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for June 23, 2025, at the fire station, with proposals due by July 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The pre-construction phase is set to run from the Notice to Proceed through May 2026, with onsite construction planned from May 2026 to September 2026. Qualified respondents must demonstrate expertise in seismic rehabilitation and municipal infrastructure projects.

The procurement includes specific requirements for Minority Owned, Women Owned, and Emerging Small Business Enterprises, with the City mandating that the selected CM/GC demonstrate efforts to develop business opportunities for these categories. WRK Engineers, Inc. has been selected as the structural engineer and project manager, and the contractor must comply with Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Prevailing Wage Rate requirements. The project is funded through a Seismic Rehabilitation Grant received in 2024 from the Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority, with a total construction budget not exceeding $1,899,800. This budget constraint suggests that respondents must provide cost-effective solutions while meeting the stringent seismic rehabilitation specifications. The project aims to significantly improve the structural integrity and functionality of the Pendleton Fire Station 2, ensuring it can continue to serve the community effectively during and after potential seismic events. Contractors interested in this opportunity must have proven experience in municipal building rehabilitation, particularly in seismic retrofitting of critical infrastructure.
