901 Window Replacement

The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the one-for-one replacement of existing storefront windows at its 901 Ludlow Street facility in Dayton, Ohio, located in Montgomery County. This procurement requires qualified contractors to complete field verification of existing conditions, demolish and dispose of current metal windows and debris, and install new thermally broken aluminum storefront window systems with insulating glass units featuring clear Low-E coating, along with new heads, sills, jambs, flashings, and repair of adjacent finishes as needed. All installations must comply with current building and energy codes, maintain weather-tightness, match existing finishes (subject to RTA pre-approval), and be completed by prevailing wage installers. Contractors must submit lump-sum quotes electronically through OpenGov by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on April 22, 2026, with questions due prior to the submission deadline; a preconstruction conference must be scheduled within 15 days of contract execution, and the estimated project duration is six months. Evaluation criteria, listed in descending order of importance, include recommended products with shop drawings, samples and warranty information; a timeline for deliverables and installation; and professional presentation with a minimum of three references. Minimum acceptable warranties include two years for the storefront system, 10 years for finishes and glass units, and one year for installation and labor.

The contract is subject to prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act, federal FTA compliance requirements, and DBE participation goals, though no specific set-aside percentages are detailed in the available documents. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Commercial Auto Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), Excess/Umbrella coverage ($2,000,000), and builders risk insurance at 100% of the total contract award with maximum deductibles of $1,000 to $5,000, with the RTA named as an additional insured. All subcontracts exceeding $10,000 or $100,000 thresholds require advance RTA notification and written approval. The RTA will maintain occupancy of the building during construction, requiring strict coordination to minimize disruptions, maintain building weathertightness, and comply with access restrictions and notification requirements; contractors must submit construction schedules within five days of work commencement and maintain a competent superintendent on-site throughout the project. The RTA will make payment within 30 days of delivery with proper invoices, and contractors must deliver products within 14 calendar days of order receipt. No specific budget or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents.
