KS-marais cygnes NWR-garage door install

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a contractor to furnish and install three commercial garage door operators on existing 16' x 30' overhead doors at the Marais des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge maintenance facility in Pleasanton, Kansas. The project requires installation of sidemount operators with 1-phase power, wall-mounted control stations, photo eye safety kits, one-button remote controls, and external keypads, along with performing preventative maintenance and safety inspections on each door. Contractors must demonstrate past experience by providing three to six examples of similar commercial bay/overhead door installation projects completed within the last five years, along with a project approach narrative and references for past performance. The evaluation will be conducted on a best value basis, considering past experience, project narrative, past performance, and price, meaning the government may award to a contractor other than the lowest-priced bidder. Quote submissions are due by September 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern via email to Ian Young at Ian_A_Young@fws.gov.
