Vehicle Access Gates Replacement

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST), is requesting bids for removal and installation of main campus entry and exit gates and replacement of the existing intercom system at the DPSST facility in Salem under ITB S-DASOBO-00017472, with bids due September 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through OregonBuys. All bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board prior to bid submission and maintain public works bond coverage; contractors and subcontractors must complete criminal record checks before accessing the state-owned building.

The scope includes removal of existing gates and operators; installation of two new 16-foot-wide swing gates with Liftmaster CSW200UL gate operators or approved equivalents; infill fencing to match existing fence style (Ameristar Aegis II Classic or approved equal); RFID readers (TagMaster XT-5US or approved); induction detection loops for ingress and egress; photo eyes; and integration with the existing Lenel access control system. The contractor assumes delegated design responsibility for engineered drawings and calculations for gate posts and foundations under 2025 Oregon Structural Specialty Code, 2025 Oregon Fire Code, and 2023 Oregon Electrical Specialty Code, with final designs requiring architect and authority-having-jurisdiction approval. The project requires compliance with Oregon prevailing wage requirements for Marion County (BOLI Region #3) and State Buy America requirements mandating domestic steel, iron, coatings, and manufactured products.

The project cost estimate for bonding purposes is $350,000 to $400,000. The contract term extends from issuance of the Notice to Proceed through June 30, 2027, with substantial completion required by June 1, 2027; liquidated damages are $600 per calendar day for missing the substantial completion deadline. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of contract amount are required within seven days of award. Bid security of 10% is due with submission. A voluntary pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 10, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at the project site. Additional site inspections are available September 14 at 9:00 a.m. and September 18 at 1:00 p.m., with pre-registration required by noon the working day prior. Addendum #001, issued August 28, modifies only Section A.10 regarding pre-bid conference logistics; all other bid document provisions remain in effect. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
