This is a Request for Proposal document for the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) in Ohio for the 600 Longworth Garage Door Project located in Montgomery County. The project involves turnkey replacement of entrance and exit garage door systems, including complete 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 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, with parts availability for at least 25 years. The RFP was released on April 24, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference 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., 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.

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. No specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise set-aside requirement has been established, though DBE participation is welcomed. The project is subject to Ohio prevailing wage requirements and is funded through RTA tax revenues and potentially grant funds from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended. All materials and labor carry a minimum one-year warranty from project completion, with manufacturer warranties taking precedence if longer. 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. Contractors must comply with all federal certifications, including Buy America requirements, debarment and suspension verification, and applicable environmental and civil rights compliance certifications. The RTA will coordinate with local electrical and structural contractors if requested by the awarded vendor.
