Overhead Door & Gate Maintenance, Service, and Repairs

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is soliciting sealed bids under IFB 260554 for overhead door and gate maintenance, service, and repairs at its facilities, with questions due November 16, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. and bids due November 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Bidders must hold current California contractor's licenses and register with the California Department of Industrial Relations, because this is a prevailing wage contract subject to California Labor Code requirements. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Scope covers maintenance, testing, inspection, and repair at the Santa Ana Base, the OC Streetcar Maintenance and Storage Facility, and Garden Grove bases. Required work includes annual fire door inspections and testing compliant with NFPA 80, with an estimated 10 doors per year. As-needed labor includes journeyman technicians at regular, extended, and premium rates, plus welder/iron worker labor for structural and ornamental repairs. Equipment rental covers 19-foot and 26-foot scissor lifts. Subcontractors exceeding one-half of one percent of the total bid must be identified with valid California contractor license numbers. Bidders must certify compliance with Ukraine/Russia-related economic sanctions and avoid organizational conflicts of interest.

The budget is $340,101 for a three-year term running December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2029, with no renewal options mentioned. Bidders submit firm-fixed, fully burdened rates for all three years, covering labor, inspections, equipment, transportation, fuel, overhead, and profit. Replacement parts are invoiced at contractor cost plus a bidder-specified markup, with the markup weighted at 10 percent and the lump sum total weighted at 90 percent for cost analysis. Prices are fixed for the term, price decreases pass through automatically, and any requested increase requires bona fide proof of cost increases and at least 90 days' written notice. Contractors must guarantee prices equal or better than those offered to any other local, state, or federal entity for equal or lesser scope.

Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 general aggregate, Automobile Liability of $2,000,000 combined single limit, Employers' Liability of $1,000,000, and Professional Liability of $1,000,000. Proof of insurance is due within ten calendar days of the effective contract date and before work begins. A job walk at the three OCTA locations is scheduled, and all prospective bidders are encouraged to attend.
