Automatic Door Operation Maintenance & Repairs

The California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) at the Atascadero State Hospital is soliciting bids for an Automatic Door Operators Maintenance and Repairs contract, covering six automatic doors (two slide and four swing operators) manufactured by Horton and Brookfield brands. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to perform quarterly and annual preventive maintenance and emergency repairs over a three-year contract period from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2028. Bidders must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations and comply with prevailing wage requirements. A mandatory bidders' conference is scheduled for April 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with the final bid submission deadline set for April 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Key qualifications include the ability to provide and install specific brand parts, demonstrate technical expertise in automatic door systems, and meet comprehensive insurance requirements. Evaluation criteria are likely to include technical capability, pricing, small business status, and compliance with specified insurance and bonding requirements.

The solicitation includes a small business preference program offering a 5% preference for certified small businesses or those subcontracting at least 25% to small businesses. Bidders must provide a performance bond and payment bond for the full contract price. Insurance requirements are robust, mandating commercial general liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. The contract allows for incidental repairs, with bidders required to specify hourly rates, and the state reserves the right to set a maximum amount for such repairs. While no incumbent vendor is specifically mentioned, the procurement is limited to contractors capable of servicing Horton and Brookfield automatic door systems within San Luis Obispo County and San Luis Obispo City jurisdictions. The precise budget range is not explicitly stated, but the comprehensive maintenance and repair scope suggests a contract value that would support three years of service for six door operators at a state hospital facility.
