ITB: Convention Center Door Replacement

Lane County Public Works Department is soliciting competitive bids for an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the Lane Events Center Convention Center Door Replacement project located in Eugene, Oregon. The procurement involves comprehensive interior door and hardware replacement, specifically focusing on fire-rated doors with integrated fire alarm system connections. The project requires extensive electrical and low-voltage work, alongside coordination with a separate access control upgrade project being simultaneously implemented by the owner. Key deliverables include replacing interior doors, adding emergency egress controls to a roll-down door, and ensuring complete system integration with existing building infrastructure. Prospective bidders must submit electronic bids through Bid Express or paper bids to the Lane County Public Works Department by October 4, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Interested contractors are mandated to arrange a mandatory site visit prior to bid submission and must include a 10% bid guaranty in the form of a cashier's check, certified check, irrevocable letter of credit, or surety bond payable to Lane County.

The contract opportunity indicates Lane County is an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, suggesting potential preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises. The project budget is estimated between $100,000 and $300,000, with a completion timeline specified in the project's Special Provisions. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the county reserves the right to reject bids that do not comply with public bidding procedures or for other justified public interest reasons. The solicitation implies technical complexity, requiring bidders to demonstrate expertise in fire-rated door installations, electrical systems integration, and coordination with ongoing access control infrastructure upgrades. No incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation, and the procurement appears open to qualified contractors with appropriate technical capabilities and licensing for complex building renovation work involving fire safety and electronic systems.
