This is a Request for Proposal document from the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) for the 600 Longworth Garage Door Project in Dayton, Ohio, Montgomery County. The RTA is soliciting turnkey proposals for the complete replacement of entrance and exit garage door systems at its 600 Longworth Street facility, including demolition of existing systems, modification of openings as needed, 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. The doors must include electric safety edges, seals, electric eyes for vehicle detection, windows for natural light, and be compatible with 480-volt three-phase electrical service, with parts availability guaranteed for at least 25 years. The 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. 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. The contract term is twelve months with an option to extend for an additional twelve months with preliminary notice.

Pricing is firm-fixed for the contract duration, with invoicing upon project completion, though partial payments are permitted for on-site materials and completed work with written RTA approval. There is no established Disadvantaged Business Enterprise set-aside requirement, though DBE participation is welcomed. 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 materials and labor are warranted for a minimum of one year from project completion, with manufacturer warranties exceeding this period taking precedence. The project is subject to Ohio prevailing wage requirements and is funded in part by the Federal Transit Administration and the Ohio Department of Transportation, making it subject to all applicable federal requirements including Buy America, debarment and suspension verification, and environmental and civil rights compliance certifications. The RTA will coordinate with local electrical and structural contractors if requested. Maximum aggregate compensation will be determined and funded through RTA tax revenues and potentially grant contract funds received from the federal government under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended.
