Garage Door Safety Devices for Fire Stations

The Village of Schaumburg, through its Engineering and Public Works agency, has issued solicitation 2026-IFB-052 for the installation of safety light curtains and LED indicator lights on 21 sectional garage doors across five fire stations. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all materials, labor, and equipment to install full-height monitored light curtains and status lights, ensuring all systems are operational at the end of each workday. The project is expected to be awarded in October 2026 with completion by December 2026. All work must comply with current building codes and industry safety standards, and a one-year warranty on all components is required. This is a competitive fixed-price procurement requiring a bid security of 10 percent of the total bid amount and a performance bond equal to 100 percent of the contract value, though a letter of credit is acceptable for contracts under 100,000 dollars. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the OpenGov portal by August 21, 2026, and mail original bid guarantees to the Purchasing Division. Evaluation is based on a trade-off approach considering price, delivery dates, bidder responsibility, and any deviations from specifications. Contractors must be licensed by the Village, comply with the Illinois Fair Employment Practices Act and the Illinois Employment of Illinois Workers on Public Works Act, and maintain comprehensive general liability, automobile, and umbrella insurance.
