District-Wide Security Upgrade #220316-01

The Centennial School District in Multnomah County, Oregon, is seeking bids for a District-Wide Security Upgrade project (No. 220316-01) involving comprehensive security system improvements across nine school sites. The procurement focuses on installing advanced security technologies, including card readers, door contacts, arm/disarm keypads, interior and exterior IP cameras, and potential upgrades to paging, intercom, and clock systems. Key deliverables include a fully integrated security infrastructure with network-based components, focusing on access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance systems. The project timeline is structured with a bid due date of March 25, 2022, contract award expected by April 14, 2022, and on-site work scheduled between April 25 and May 2, 2022. Substantial completion is required by September 2, 2022 (with a revised potential completion date of December 23, 2022), and bidders must submit comprehensive proposals including base bids for Centennial High School and alternates for other sites. Bidders are required to comply with prevailing wage rates and provide a 5% bid bond, performance bond, and payment bond.

The contract does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The district has indicated a preference for the Milestone VMS system and will not consider all substitution requests, suggesting some technological constraints. The total project budget is estimated at $1,200,000, with the district reserving the right to award the base bid for Centennial High School and any combination of alternates for the remaining eight school sites. Bidders must demonstrate technical capabilities in security system installation, including expertise in IP-based security technologies, network infrastructure, and integration with existing district systems. The project requires close coordination with district IT personnel and adherence to specific work hour restrictions during school operations. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the procurement suggests a comprehensive overhaul of the district's existing security infrastructure, with a focus on modern, integrated security solutions.
