Combat Pistol Qualification Course CPQC

The Oregon Military Department (OMD) is procuring a comprehensive Combat Pistol Qualification Course (CPQC) project located at the Rees Training Center, with the primary objective of repairing and upgrading the existing target mechanisms and control system to improve operational readiness. The project involves extensive construction work, including replacing pneumatic targets with new precast concrete units, installing electrical power and data to target emplacements, and converting the range from pneumatic to electric controls. Key deliverables include a complete range conversion, electrical systems upgrades, and a mock-up of each target emplacement prior to material procurement. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in military construction, electrical systems, and potential unexploded ordnance management. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on August 28, 2024, with bid submissions due by September 18, 2024. The project timeline includes a 15-calendar day start period from the Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion targeted at 180 calendar days and final completion at 210 calendar days. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive base bid, with potential selection of additive alternates.
