This image file is related to the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority's (RTA) solicitation for a turnkey replacement of entrance and exit garage door systems at its 600 Longworth Street facility in Dayton, Ohio. The project requires complete 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 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 an RTA option to extend for an additional twelve months with preliminary notice.

Pricing is firm-fixed for the contract duration, with invoicing upon work completion, though partial payments are permitted for on-site materials and completed work with written RTA approval. There is no established Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) 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. 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), making it subject to all applicable FTA clauses and federal requirements including Buy America compliance, debarment and suspension verification, and various environmental and civil rights compliance certifications.
