The John Day Powerhouse is a main stem Columbia River hydroelectric power plant, of strategic importance in the Federal Columbia River Power System due to its location and generation capacity. The current powerhouse security system dates back to 2004. The last upgrades were completed in 2012 under contract W9172N-09-C-0034. The main software component is the Software House C.CURE 9000 Security Management System (SMS). The SMS software ties all of the security sensors, monitoring, alarm recording, and annunciation together into one central system. This integration includes intrusion detection, alarm monitoring, badging and digital imaging, CCTV, and asset management. The Electronic Security System (ESS) provides access control capabilities throughout the facility. The ESS design provides control of entry into the facility by authorized personnel and denies access to unauthorized personnel. These items work jointly to alert John Day Lock and Dam staff to the earliest possible detection of unauthorized personnel. 3. Project Scope. Upgrade the aging existing security system. Upgrades are broken up into separate categories: Install HVAC for server room. Civil and Structural work to trench routes for comm and power cables and to erect exterior pole mounted light fixtures Update the electronic security system to include running cable, new lighting, and installing badge readers, intrusion detection systems, and new security cameras as required. All IT equipment to be installed will be provided as GFE. Anticipated Construction Schedule: CENWP intends to advertise 1st Quarter FY2026 and award December 2025. Estimated Period of Performance is 260 days after NTP. Estimated Construction Cost (ECC): The current ECC is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Ref. FAR 36.204 Disclosure of Magnitude and DFARS 236.204 Disclosure of Magnitude. Number and Type of Contracts: NWP contemplates awarding a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Construction Contract.
