Replace Exterior Doors

The State of Wisconsin, Department of Military Affairs (DMA) is seeking bids for the replacement of exterior doors at the Madison Aviation Armory located at 1954 Pearson Street in Madison, Wisconsin. The project involves removing and replacing five specific door groups across multiple facility locations, including doors in Assembly Room 122 (north and south), Corridor 123, Corridor 125, and Scullery Room 139. The doors must meet stringent UL752 Level 5 bullet-resistant standards, featuring ballistic doors, frames, and glazing with specialized hardware including panic devices, electric strikes, continuous hinges, door closers, and weatherstripping. Key technical requirements include insulating laminated glazing panels, compliance with blast resistance design standards, and specific architectural specifications for door construction and installation. The bid was originally posted on February 19, 2019, with multiple addenda issued through April 11, 2019, and the final bid submission deadline set for April 18, 2019, at 2:00 P.M. A site tour was recommended but not mandatory, with interested bidders advised to contact MAJ Randall Ramm to arrange access. The project's estimated Notice to Proceed date is May 6, 2019, with final completion targeted for October 21, 2019.

The State of Wisconsin offers a permissive 5% price preference for certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (DVBs), though no preference applies to Woman-Owned Business Enterprises (WBEs) or Veteran-Owned Businesses (VBs). Bidders must be original manufacturers or authorized distributors/dealers and must honor the manufacturer's standard warranty. Prospective contractors must comply with federal debarment requirements and Wisconsin sales tax certifications. The project requires strict security clearance, with all personnel needing to submit names and driver's licenses 48 hours prior to site access, and must implement Foreign Object Damage (FOD) prevention programs while maintaining airfield safety protocols. Contractors must also adhere to environmental regulations, including a 65 percent construction waste diversion goal. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements and specialized security specifications suggest a substantial investment in upgrading the facility's exterior door infrastructure. The contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible bidder with the lowest total cost, with delivery timeliness potentially factoring into the final selection.
