Firebolts install to Fire rated doors

The Ohio Department of Veterans Services is seeking a qualified contractor to install 46 sets of firebolts on steel, fire-rated doors throughout their facilities to meet NFPA certification requirements. The procurement is specific to the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky, located in Erie County, and requires NFPA Certified personnel to complete the work. The Scope of Work mandates installation that adheres to NFPA 80 standards and NFPA Life Safety Codes 101, with work to be performed Monday through Friday between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM, excluding state holidays. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for December 2, 2024, at 10:00 AM, where contractors will sign in at the Secrest front desk and survey the facility to discuss project details. The contractor must provide 48-hour notice before scheduled services and will be responsible for repairing any damage caused by negligence during the installation process. The total procurement involves installing firebolts across four buildings: Giffin Building, Vets Hall Building, Secrest Building, and Administration Building, with doors categorized as double egress or simultaneous type.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly stated in the documentation, the contractor must comply with federal regulations including the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in service provision and employment practices. The contract will require the successful bidder to follow the State of Ohio's Standard Terms and Conditions, which are non-negotiable. Although a specific budget range is not detailed, the documentation includes a contract agreement template indicating that total compensation will be determined based on actual hours worked and materials used. Contractors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form confirming that all services will be performed within the United States and acknowledging potential contract termination if offshore service provisions are violated. The contract is anticipated to be awarded before the December 6, 2024 response deadline, with potential for renewal under the same terms and conditions at the discretion of the Ohio Department of Veterans Services.
