Seismic Isolation Platform Goods and Services

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is seeking a vendor to establish a price agreement for seismic isolation platform goods and services, specifically for its Data Center Services division. The procurement targets ISO-Base seismic isolation platform products that meet stringent technical requirements, including compliance with International Building Code seismic zone 4 standards and JQA certification. The products must be flexible for multi-size cabinets and capable of supporting loads up to 2,500 pounds per square foot, designed to minimize damage to sensitive electronic components during seismic events. The initial contract term is two years, with potential renewal options extending up to a maximum of 10 years. Bids were due on March 25, 2022, at 4:00 PM Pacific Time, with the procurement covering jurisdictions including Marion County and the City of Salem. DAS will award the contract to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, with the expectation that the selected vendor will supply all goods and services ordered throughout the contract term.

The procurement includes specific outreach requirements for Oregon Certified Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) firms, encouraging participation from minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Bidders are required to indicate their certification status, list previously contracted certified firms, and describe strategies for soliciting certified subcontractors if awarded the contract. The Notice of Intent to Award was issued to Earthquake Protection Specialist, Inc., with a protest period expiring on April 4, 2022. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the contract structure allows DAS to issue purchase orders against the price agreement as needed. The procurement documents indicate that bidders must demonstrate financial responsibility, past performance, and compliance with various legal and regulatory requirements, including possession of a Pay Equity Certificate and absence of outstanding legal or financial liabilities.
