OSP K9 Training Shed Purchase

The Ohio Department of Public Safety/Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) is seeking a contractor to procure and install a customized two-story storage shed for the K9 Training Facility located at the Marysville Post 80 in Union County. The procurement involves a pre-fabricated shed with specific requirements, including dimensions of 16 feet wide by 50 feet long, a sidewall height of 7 feet 10 inches, and a loft peak height of 7 feet 5 inches. The structure must include seven interior rooms, constructed with 2-inch by 4-inch framing and 5/8-inch plywood, featuring one 36-inch 9-lite entry door and eight 24-inch by 36-inch thermopane windows with screens. The exterior specifications call for 5/50-year LP smart siding, a 40-year metal roof, and a 12-inch overhang on gable ends. The project requires a comprehensive electrical system, including a 100-amp panel, ten interior outlets, eight ceiling-mounted interior lights, two exterior lights, and a generator-compatible power connection. The contract opportunity was posted on January 9, 2026, with proposals due by January 26, 2026, and no site visit is required for this project.

The contract does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. The proposed contract appears to be open to independent contractors capable of meeting the detailed technical specifications for the K9 training shed. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the contract includes provisions for comprehensive background checks, drug-free workplace certification, and compliance with Ohio ethics laws and executive orders. The contract is effective from the purchase order date through June 30, 2026, with potential renewal for up to an additional 24 months upon mutual agreement. Although the exact award value is not specified in the provided documents, the contractor will be compensated based on a predetermined amount not to exceed the total stated in the contract, with monthly invoicing and payment within 30 days of invoice submission. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary materials, tools, equipment, staff, and insurance to complete the project at the OSHP Marysville Post 80 location.
