The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) is seeking bids for a commercial overhead door installation project at the OPI Glove Factory located within the Madison Correctional Institution in London, Ohio. The procurement, designated as DRC260092, requires the installation of a single commercial overhead door measuring approximately 6 feet by 7 feet 3 inches, including all associated materials, hardware, design, and permitting services. Specific project requirements include cutting out a block wall for the door opening, installing a concrete lintel header and channel caps, mounting a wood header and sided legs, patching and repairing concrete flooring, and installing a door opener. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for December 2, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., with interested bidders required to contact John Lyon by 12:00 p.m. on November 28, 2025, to coordinate gate passes. The bid submission deadline is December 10, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Columbus time, with the project completion date set for January 15, 2026. Evaluation criteria will include the bidder's experience with similar commercial door installations, ability to obtain necessary licenses and permits, compliance with State of Ohio contract terms, and insurance coverage requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does emphasize compliance with domestic preference provisions, including the Buy American Act and Ohio products preference regulations. Contractors must certify their ability to perform all work within the United States and undergo background checks for personnel accessing the correctional facility. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with ODRC reserving the right to award to multiple contractors. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 annual aggregate and $500,000 per occurrence. While no specific budget range is provided, the contract is structured as a flat-rate agreement covering both materials and labor, with payment terms set at Net 30 through electronic funds transfer. The initial contract term extends from the award date through project completion, with potential renewal by mutual agreement not to exceed four years total, contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund appropriation by the Ohio General Assembly.
