The Oregon Military Department (OMD) is seeking a Design-Build Contractor (DBC) for the Oregon Military Museum Interpretive Displays project located in Clackamas County, Oregon. The procurement involves comprehensive project management, design, review, value engineering, construction, fabrication, and installation of specialized museum displays. Specific deliverables include lighting, casework, dioramas, graphics, interpretive panels, interactive and specialty display cases, macro artifact displays, historic aircraft displays, and military vehicle and weapon displays. The project requires expertise in museum display design and construction, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for August 3, 2021, and proposal submissions due by August 19, 2021. The contract will be awarded based on a "best value" evaluation criteria, which may include factors such as project narrative, schedule, costs, approach, management, understanding, quality, objectives, and proposed betterments. The initial Guaranteed Maximum Price is set at $2,000,000, with a contract term of 450 calendar days from the notice to proceed. Proposers must submit a detailed Schedule of Values and current hourly rate sheet for professional services.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Color-Ad, Inc. has been identified as the apparent successful proposer, with OMD anticipating finalizing negotiations and awarding the Design Build Agreement on or before December 15, 2021. The successful contractor will be required to provide revised proposal forms, project schedule, schedule of values, and certificates of insurance prior to receiving a Notice to Proceed. The project documentation indicates that full funding is not yet secured, and if complete funding is not obtained, the scope of work and Guaranteed Maximum Price may be reduced proportionately. The museum's interpretive plan was developed collaboratively with museum staff, stakeholders, and Oregon National Guard members, with the ultimate goal of creating an engaging, multi-sensory visitor experience that educates guests about Oregon's military heritage. The project will comply with various federal standards for military museum operations and historical artifact preservation.
