Hudson fire station 1 - garage door replacement

The Town of Hudson, Massachusetts is requesting quotes for removal and replacement of two apparatus bay garage doors and electric door operators at Hudson Fire Station 1, 1 Washington Street, with quotes due October 7, 2026 at 12:00 p.m.

The scope requires furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, permitting, and incidental services to replace two commercial-grade garage doors measuring 16'-10" wide by 10'-0" high, along with new electric operators, safety systems, and electrical work. A historic-preservation constraint applies: the fire station was constructed in 1895, and replacement doors must feature Shaker-style panel design with top glass section in Hunter Green color to maintain architectural compatibility. Each garage door must be equipped with a commercial heavy-duty electric operator featuring a 1/2 HP motor, electric brake, photo-eye safety and reversing system, three-button wall control station, remote controls, and mechanical release for manual operation. All electrical work must comply with applicable Massachusetts electrical codes. The contractor must coordinate work schedules with the Fire Department to minimize disruption to this active emergency response facility while protecting the historic building's masonry, woodwork, and architectural details.

Project completion, including all required inspections, testing, and acceptance, is due prior to December 1, 2026. Contractors must provide itemized pricing for doors and hardware, operators, electrical work, and removal and disposal costs, along with estimated project duration and product information. The contractor bears responsibility for field verification of existing conditions, proper installation per manufacturer specifications, comprehensive testing and commissioning, and provision of all applicable manufacturer warranties.

Quotes must be submitted via email to Fire Chief Jamie Desautels.
