Commercial Bi-Parting Garage Door System Replacement

The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority is soliciting proposals for the design, removal, and installation of two high-cycle commercial bi-parting garage door systems at its Maintenance Facility located at 600 Longworth Street in Dayton, Ohio. The new systems must be capable of supporting approximately 300 cycles per day and 110,000 cycles annually, with opening and closing times of roughly 15 seconds and a 30-second open hold time. Technical specifications require doors with a thickness of 4-3/16 inches, integrated windows, and a specific paint scheme featuring safety yellow interiors and medium brown exteriors. The project includes all necessary testing, commissioning, and operator training to ensure minimal disruption to high-volume transit bus operations. This procurement follows a two-phase evaluation process where initial proposals must not include pricing to avoid being deemed unresponsive; shortlisted firms will later be invited to submit firm-fixed price bids. Proposals are due by October 8, 2026, via the OpenGov portal. The contract is subject to Federal and State Prevailing Wage laws, Buy America certifications, and FTA Circular 4220.1F requirements. Award criteria focus on technical approach, relevant experience in industrial or transit environments, implementation scheduling, and warranty support. Successful contractors must provide necessary bid and performance bonds, adhere to the Ohio Building Code, and comply with DBE participation policies and non-discrimination regulations.
