The purpose of this solicitation is to contract with a pool of vendors to provide all labor, equipment and materials for on-call and scheduled fire and police garage door systems, other garage door systems, gates and concession door repair and door maintenance services citywide. The service involves primarily overhead sectional and roll-up door systems, but may include other types of doors and/or related accessories. The City would call the contractor when needed. The estimated number of doors and gates is 170 and includes approximately 60 gates and 50 concession doors.

The City of Seattle has held contracts for these services with Highland Arms Enterprises Inc (contract 3591) and Specialty Door Service Inc (contract 3705) that were a result of Invitation to Bid CTY-3591 conducted in 2017. These contracts have expired. The total usage of the contracts was approximately $800,000 annually. Primary departments that utilize these contracts are the Facilities Operations Division of Finance and Administration Services (FAS) and Seattle Public Utilities (SPU). All city departments may use contracts resulting from this solicitation.

The contracts awarded through this solicitation are not intended for projects that would be better classified as Public Works; therefore, individual work orders must not exceed $200,000 without prior approval from the Contract Administrator.
