226-26 overhead door services

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking vendors to provide comprehensive overhead door services across all twelve ODOT districts and the Central Office through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 226-26. The procurement aims to establish contract pricing for service, maintenance, repair, emergency repair, and replacement of overhead door systems and associated components at various ODOT facilities. Vendors may bid on single or multiple districts or specific counties within adjacent districts. Key deliverables include standard scheduled service requiring response within four hours, emergency service mandating a certified technician arrive within two hours, and 24/7/365 availability. Qualified vendors must have a minimum of five years of experience performing overhead door services and provide at least three references. The bid requires detailed pricing submissions including hourly labor rates for mechanics and helpers, after-hours overtime rates, mobilization fees, and a markup on materials not exceeding 15 percent. The bid is due on November 26, 2025, with electronic submissions required through the Ohio Buys system, and site visits are available by contacting the appropriate District Facilities Program Administrator during business hours.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. Vendors must furnish public liability insurance of at least $300,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence, with 30-day notice requirements for any policy changes. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly listed, the contract will run from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027, with an optional one-year renewal possible through December 31, 2028. The procurement follows a multiple award structure pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 5513.02, meaning multiple vendors may be selected. No specific total contract value or budget range is provided, and ODOT explicitly states that the contract does not guarantee any minimum volume of work or that services will be required at all sites. Vendors must provide pricing for standard and emergency services, materials markup, equipment rental, and potential mobilization fees, with all materials required to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer standards.
