Installation of Two (2) ADA Compliant Automatic Door Openers

The City of Rochester Hills is seeking qualified companies to provide and install two ADA Compliant Automatic Door Openers for City Hall restroom doors located on the lower level at 1000 Rochester Hills Drive. The procurement is structured as a Request for Proposal (RFP) with a voluntary pre-proposal site visit scheduled for Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 10:00 am, which represents the only opportunity for potential bidders to access the site. Sealed proposals will be received electronically through the MITN website until 3:00 PM local time on July 8, 2025, with a public proposal opening via Zoom teleconference at 3:30 PM the same day. The primary objective is to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities by installing low energy power operators with wall-mounted push plates and comprehensive safety features. Proposal evaluation will be comprehensive, with weighted criteria including qualifications and experience (20%), comparable projects (20%), capacity (20%), work plan (20%), and cost proposal (20%). Vendors are expected to provide a turnkey solution encompassing equipment, installation, testing, training, and warranty.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the proposal allows for an optional additional scope of installing two automatic door openers on upper-level bathrooms contingent on budget availability. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and will award the contract based on the most advantageous proposal. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project involves installing two ADA compliant automatic door openers with potential for two additional units. Proposers must demonstrate technical compatibility with existing electrical systems and provide comprehensive pricing for furnishing and installing the door openers. The procurement emphasizes a holistic approach, seeking a vendor capable of delivering a complete accessibility solution that meets ADA standards and enhances facility usability.
