The State of Florida Department of Military Affairs awarded contract EP555664 to Taylor, Cotton & Ridley, Inc. on June 11, 2026, for the supply and installation of specialized entrance doors. The contract is valued at $11,775.00 and extends through June 30, 2027. The primary deliverable consists of one unequal pair of windstorm-rated hollow metal doors designed to replace existing equal-pair doors at a main entrance location.

The door system includes advanced safety and security features specified for windstorm protection and controlled egress. The active door incorporates surface vertical rod exit devices, a classroom function lever pull with large format interchangeable core housing compatible with existing cores, and a rated narrow vision lite kit. Both doors feature Ives continuous geared hinges rated for windstorm conditions and LCN Cushion arm closers to prevent wind damage. The installation utilizes the existing frame and electrical infrastructure, including the keypad-operated electric strike and electrified latch retraction system. The doors will be sealed with exterior hard weatherstripping and bulb vertical strips, with exit devices latching to a specialized latching threshold. The existing mull bar will be removed. The doors will be primed only, with painting to be completed by others.
