Oregon Employment Department LED Lighting Upgrade Project

The Oregon Employment Department LED Lighting Upgrade Project, solicitation S-DASOBO-00017609, is a construction contract for the comprehensive upgrade of lighting systems across three facilities located in Salem, Albany, and Klamath Falls. The scope of work encompasses all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete the upgrades, including demolition and the installation of new LED fixtures and wireless lighting controls. The project is governed by the State of Oregon General Conditions for Public Improvement Contracts and requires compliance with BOLI prevailing wage rates, the Build America and Buy America Act, and ADA/ABA accessibility guidelines. Performance is scheduled to begin upon the issuance of a Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion required by April 15, 2027, and final completion by June 1, 2027. Award will be granted to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, calculated via lump sum or unit pricing. To be considered responsive, bidders must have attended all three mandatory pre-bid conferences and submitted all required documentation, including bidder certifications and pricing forms, through the OregonBuys portal. The contract includes stringent technical requirements, such as UL2900-1 cybersecurity listing for network-connectable products and adherence to specific packaging and labeling standards for electrical components. Additionally, the project involves hazardous material considerations, as comprehensive asbestos and lead-based paint surveys have been conducted for the Salem, Albany, and Klamath Falls sites to inform the renovation process.
