This file is an image document related to the 600 Longworth Garage Door Project solicitation issued by the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) in Montgomery County, Ohio. The RTA is seeking proposals for a turnkey replacement of entrance and exit garage door systems at its 600 Longworth Street facility in Dayton. The project scope includes complete demolition of existing door systems, modification of openings as required, and furnishing and installation of new bi-parting garage doors capable of handling up to 300 cycles per day with opening and closing times within 15 seconds each. The doors must operate on 480-volt three-phase electrical service and include electric safety edges, seals, electric eyes for vehicle detection, and windows for natural light. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for May 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the project location. The deadline for questions and clarifications is May 21, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., and proposals are due May 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. via OpenGov. The contract term is twelve months with an RTA option to extend for an additional twelve months upon preliminary notice.

Evaluation will occur in two phases, with Phase One assessing design, technical approach, methodology, qualifications, experience, and project schedule, and Phase Two involving pricing submission from shortlisted proposers. The contract will be awarded to the lowest firm-fixed price submitted among qualified proposers. Bidders must demonstrate at least 15 years of experience in design and installation of large bi-parting garage doors and must be licensed to do business in Ohio. All pricing is firm-fixed for the contract duration, with invoicing upon completion of work and partial payments permitted for on-site materials and completed work with written RTA approval. No Disadvantaged Business Enterprise set-aside requirement has been established, though DBE participation is welcomed. Materials and labor are warranted for a minimum of one year from project completion, with manufacturer warranties taking precedence if longer. The project is funded through RTA tax revenues and potentially grant funds from the Federal Transit Administration and Ohio Department of Transportation under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended. The project is subject to Ohio prevailing wage requirements and all applicable federal compliance certifications, including Buy America requirements, debarment verification, and environmental and civil rights compliance.
