Clatsop County Courthouse Security Project

The Clatsop County Courthouse Security Improvements project is a comprehensive construction and renovation procurement opportunity issued by Clatsop County, Oregon, targeting security infrastructure upgrades at the courthouse located in Astoria. The project encompasses multiple technical scopes including converting storage rooms into security screening and holding areas, replacing window sashes, installing bullet-resistant glazing, upgrading access control systems, and implementing video surveillance equipment. Specific deliverables include architectural modifications, security system installations, and compliance with 2019 Oregon Structural and Fire Codes. The bid documents indicate a mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for September 15, 2024, with bid responses due by September 30, 2024. Technical specifications cover detailed requirements for demolition, concrete work, metals, wood, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. The project involves multiple bid alternates, including options for entry drain connections, reception transaction windows, door hardware, and bullet-resistant glass replacements.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, they suggest local and disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) participation is encouraged. The project will utilize an existing Vanderbilt SMS Enterprise 6.4.5 access control system, with no full system upgrade planned at this time. The estimated project budget is approximately $2.5 million, funded through a combination of county funds and state grants. The contract term is anticipated to be one year, with potential renewal options for up to four additional one-year periods. The project will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the contract managed by SERA Design and Architecture, Inc. on behalf of Clatsop County. Existing infrastructure to be integrated includes the courthouse's current architectural layout, mechanical systems, and partial retention of existing technological infrastructure. No specific incumbent vendors were identified in the procurement documents.
