The Oregon Military Department (OMD) issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) 200067C002 for La Grande Armory SIPR Room Upgrades located in Union County, Oregon. The project involves comprehensive construction work to upgrade the existing Secure Internet Protocol Router (SIPR) room, including all necessary labor, materials, transportation, equipment, and services to meet current security requirements. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on August 23, 2022, with bid submissions due by September 6, 2022, at 2:00 PM PT. The project scope includes installing an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), upgrading security equipment, modifying electrical systems, and implementing specific security infrastructure improvements detailed in the project documents. Contractors were required to have a valid Construction Contractors Board (CCB) registration and comply with prevailing wage rate requirements. The project timeline mandates a 15-calendar-day start from the Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion expected in 120 calendar days and final completion in 180 calendar days. Evaluation criteria focused on responsiveness, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The estimated project budget range was $65,000 to $75,000, though the actual awarded contract value to Jackson Commercial Construction, Inc. was $139,900, which included a base bid of $129,900 and an owner contingency of $10,000. The project will utilize state and federal funding sources and requires integration with existing security infrastructure, including a Bosch B9512G-USA security panel and various intrusion detection components.
