Replacement of Emergency Doors at Metrorail and Metromover Stations

This contract involves the removal and installation of seventy-one fire-rated stainless steel doors, including frames, hinges, and all specified hardware, at various Metro Rail and Metro Mover stations in Florida. The new doors must match the existing fire-resistance rating of three hours and incorporate the same lock configurations as the existing doors. The contractor is responsible for measuring each door opening, ordering appropriate doors, obtaining necessary permits from the Miami-Dade Building Department, and ensuring compliance with all relevant federal transportation requirements, including FTA regulations, Civil Rights Act, DBE, Buy America, and Davis-Bacon wages. The project includes replacing sixty-one single doors and ten double doors of varying sizes, with only saw tools permitted for removal and cutouts. A mandatory site visit is required to gather all relevant information, and failure to attend does not exempt the contractor from any details discussed or observed during the visit. The solicitation was posted on September 12, 2025, with a response deadline of October 15, 2025. The project is estimated to be valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000, and it is managed by the Miami Dade County Strategic Procurement Office. The primary point of contact is Contracting Officer Kristina L. Peart, who can be reached by phone. The contract emphasizes strict adherence to federal and local regulations, site-specific measurements, and proper coordination to ensure the replacement doors meet all safety and compliance standards.
