RFP #2025-47 Design Services of the Jail Electronic Systems Update

Clackamas County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) has issued Request for Proposals (RFP #2025-47) seeking architectural and engineering design services for a comprehensive Electronic Systems Update at the Clackamas County Jail in Oregon City. The procurement specifically requires professional services to design upgrades to the jail's electronic infrastructure, including camera systems, intercom systems, and security controls. Proposed deliverables include demolition and replacement of existing outdated cameras and wiring, installation of new cameras, implementation of touch screen monitors for the control room, and development of a new integrated control system. The solicitation employs a qualifications-based selection process with proposal evaluation across five key criteria: Project Team (0-20 points), Prior Experience (0-20 points), Project Understanding and Approach (0-35 points), Communication and Availability (0-20 points), and Supportive Information (0-5 points). Proposals are due on June 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, with the contract term extending from the effective date through June 30, 2027, and intended to maintain architectural services through final project construction.

The county encourages proposals from Minority, Women, Veteran, and Emerging Small Businesses, signaling a commitment to diverse vendor participation. The project mandates sustainable design elements comprising a minimum of 1.5% of the total project cost, in compliance with state law. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement requires proposers to submit fees on a time and material basis with a not-to-exceed amount for each project phase. The new electronic system must maintain operational continuity throughout implementation, suggesting potential complexity and requiring vendors with specialized technical expertise in correctional facility electronic infrastructure. After initial proposal scoring, Clackamas County may conduct interviews with top-scoring proposers to further evaluate potential consultants. The project's technical requirements and operational constraints indicate a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in security system design, particularly within institutional settings like correctional facilities.
