Owen summers security gate enhancements

The Oregon Military Department (OMD) is seeking qualified contractors for a security gate enhancement project at the Owen Summers Readiness Center in Salem, Oregon. The procurement is a Request for Quote (RFQ) 250054C001 for installing a new barrier arm gate system, which includes a Doorking 1601 Barrier Arm Gate with a 10' aluminum arm, down loop detector, photo eye, and 3-button control station. The project also encompasses gate maintenance and replacement of existing gate motors, controllers, and actuators. Key deliverables include installing updated gate control systems, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and implementing comprehensive access control mechanisms. Contractors must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and provide a 10% bid security. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 8, 2025, at 9am, with quotes due by September 18, 2025, at 10:00 am. The project timeline requires substantial completion within 120 calendar days and final completion within 150 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

The contract opportunity is potentially federally funded and subject to Build America, Buy America Act requirements, which may impose restrictions on material sourcing. If the bid exceeds $50,000, Oregon prevailing wage rates will apply. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability. The Owner has allocated a $7,500 contingency budget to be used at their discretion. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, bidders must comply with non-discrimination regulations. The existing infrastructure involves replacing an outdated gate control system from around 2002, which currently uses Byan Systems G2M controllers and has hydraulic arms that have been removed. The project will integrate with the existing Lenel network system and requires operational verification and owner training. Though a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive technical requirements and multiple system components suggest a significant investment in security infrastructure modernization.
