This file is a project image related to a Request for Proposal issued by the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) in Ohio for the 600 Longworth Garage Door Project. The RTA is soliciting turnkey proposals for the complete replacement of entrance and exit garage door systems at its facility located at 600 Longworth Street in Dayton, Ohio, Montgomery County. The scope of work includes demolition of existing door systems, modification of openings as needed, 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, windows for natural light, and parts availability for at least 25 years. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for May 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the project location. The final deadline for questions and clarifications is May 21, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., with proposals due by May 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. via OpenGov. The contract term is twelve months with RTA's option to extend for an additional twelve months with preliminary notice.

Evaluation occurs in two phases: Phase One assesses design, technical approach, methodology, qualifications, experience, and project schedule; Phase Two involves pricing submission from shortlisted proposers, with contract award made to the lowest firm-fixed price 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. Pricing is firm-fixed for the contract duration, with invoicing upon completion of work, though partial payments are permitted for on-site materials and completed work with written RTA approval. All materials and labor are warranted for a minimum of one year from project completion. There is no established Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) set-aside requirement, though the RTA welcomes DBE participation. The project is subject to Ohio prevailing wage requirements and is funded in part by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), with maximum aggregate compensation to be determined and funded through RTA tax revenues and potentially grant funds received from the federal government under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended. Contractors must comply with all federal certifications including Buy America requirements, debarment and suspension verification, and various environmental and civil rights compliance certifications.
