Owen summers readiness center sesmic upgrade

The Oregon Military Department (OMD) is seeking an Architect Consultant to provide architectural services for the Owen Summers Readiness Center Seismic Upgrade project in Marion County and the City of Salem, Oregon. The procurement involves architectural design services to address changes necessary following a comprehensive seismic evaluation and engineering design work already completed by OMD. Key deliverables include estimating construction costs, developing a combined bid package, submitting plans for local jurisdiction review, and potentially providing construction administration support. The Request for Proposals (RFP) requires the consultant to work closely with the existing structural engineering team to integrate architectural designs with previously completed seismic upgrade plans. Proposals were due by February 6, 2024, at 11 AM, with an anticipated contract start in February 2024 and an initial two-year term. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical expertise, understanding of the project scope, and alignment with the project's seismic upgrade objectives. The project involves a comprehensive retrofit of the facility, including upgrades to structural systems, non-structural components, and architectural elements to improve seismic resistance.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. LRS Architects has been identified as the apparent successful proposer through a Notice of Intent to Award. The total project budget is estimated at $12 million, with the architectural consultant's compensation structured as a percentage of estimated construction costs and a maximum not-to-exceed price. Funding for the project will come from a combination of federal and state programs administered by OMD. The project requires compliance with federal, state, and local building codes, including Executive Order 14057 on energy efficiency. The scope mandates the use of standard, off-the-shelf products and prohibits proprietary or sole-source items without prior authorization. Reimbursable expenses are limited to specific categories and must comply with State of Oregon travel policies. The facility will remain partially occupied during construction, with plans to relocate only individuals close to the construction activities.
