The Oregon Military Department is seeking bids for a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade at the Central Oregon Readiness Center (CORC) located in Prineville, Oregon. The procurement, identified as ITB 220027C002, requires installing a new multiplex/addressable fire alarm system with automatic detection and notification components including fire alarm control panels, annunciators, cell dialers, power supplies, batteries, relays, smoke detectors, manual pull stations, horns, and strobes. The project mandates a pre-bid conference on August 19, 2025, at 10:00 am (PT), with bids due on September 11, 2025, at 2:00 pm Pacific Time. Bidders must be registered in the OregonBuys system and attend the mandatory pre-bid conference to be eligible. The system must be manufactured by Siemens and meet stringent technical requirements, including microprocessor-based control panels, digital communication capabilities, and comprehensive networking features. The project requires extensive documentation, testing, and acceptance procedures, with the contractor responsible for complete system installation, testing, and personnel training.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must meet several qualifications including having a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number and being cleared through the Excluded Parties List System. The project budget is estimated between $175,000 and $250,000, which includes a $20,000 Owner's Contingency budget controlled entirely by the owner. The existing Kitchen Fire Panel will remain in place, with new relays and interconnections added for status monitoring. The project timeline requires substantial completion within 120 calendar days and final completion within 150 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The facility will remain occupied during construction, with some areas requiring escort and prior coordination for access. The procurement will be funded through a combination of State and Federal funds, and the successful contractor will be required to comply with prevailing wage rate requirements.
