Overhead Door Maintenance

The Town of Burlington Department of Public Works is soliciting sealed bids for the maintenance and repair of 40 commercial overhead doors located at various municipal facilities, including fire stations, DPW sites, cemeteries, and the dog pound. The scope of work consists of two primary components: semi-annual preventive maintenance performed every fall and spring during regular business hours, and on-call emergency repairs and services available at specified hourly rates for after-hours, weekend, and holiday work. The estimated contract value is $25,000, and the award will be granted to the lowest responsible and eligible bidder. To qualify, bidders must demonstrate at least five years of experience and provide a list of five successfully completed projects of similar size and scope for investigation. Compliance with several statutory and safety regulations is mandatory for this contract. Bidders must adhere to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149 regarding prevailing wage rates and Chapter 30-39M for public works construction. All employees must have completed a minimum of a 10-hour OSHA-approved construction safety and health course. Financial security requirements include a five percent bid bond for the submission process and 100 percent payment and performance bonds upon contract award. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope by the specified deadline, and a mandatory site walkthrough is required for all prospective bidders. The project will be overseen by the Town's Superintendent, who holds the authority to inspect work and ensure all materials and equipment are new and of recent manufacture.
