Garage and Safety door for QM and Yard Crew

Ross Correctional Institution in Chillicothe, Ohio is requesting sealed bids for rolling garage doors and grilles for the Quartermaster and Yard Crew areas, with bids due September 11, 2026 and a mandatory site visit on September 2, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Prospective bidders must contact Bryan Parker at bryan.parker@drc.ohio.gov by August 31, 2026 with their name, company name, and items needed.

The scope covers four items: two rolling doors (non-insulated, galvanized and painted gray with 2-inch slat, HP motor with brake, standard photo eyes, hand chain operation, mounted to steel jambs) and two aluminum rolling grilles (mill finish, 9-inch straight hollow galvanized rods, HP motor, photo eyes, hand chain operation, mounted to steel jambs). One rolling door and grille are specified for the Quartermaster with right-handed and left-handed operation respectively; the Yard Crew items reverse the operational direction. The institution will handle removal of old equipment and installation of new equipment.

Bidders must include all shipping, handling, product support, and training costs within quoted prices. Descriptive literature of proposed products may be required as part of evaluation; failure to provide it with the initial bid or within seven calendar days of request renders the bidder non-responsive. Bids remain firm for ninety days after opening. Award will be to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on experience, financial condition, previous contract performance, facilities, management skills, and ability to execute the contract.

The procurement may be subject to domestic preference provisions, Ohio product preferences, and the Veteran-Friendly Business Procurement Program. All bids become public records after award, though bidders may submit redacted versions for information claimed as confidential or proprietary.
