This image file relates to the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority's (RTA) 600 Longworth Garage Door Project, a procurement for turnkey replacement of entrance and exit garage door systems at the RTA's facility in Dayton, Ohio. The project encompasses 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 a minimum of 25 years. The Request for Proposal 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 final deadline for questions is May 21, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., and proposals are 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.

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. No Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) set-aside requirement has been established, though the RTA welcomes DBE participation. 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. 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 submitted among qualified proposers. All materials and labor are warranted for a minimum of one year from project completion. The project is funded through RTA tax revenues and potentially grant contract funds from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), and is subject to Ohio prevailing wage requirements and all applicable federal requirements.
