    Description

    The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is soliciting proposals for 600 Longworth Garage Door Project.

    Background

    The current door manufacturer is not certain, but the current garage doors operators at both the entrance and exit doors are OSCO Model GSL Bi-Parting Doors. These doors have worked very well for approximately 50 years. The bi-parting door design works extremely well for transit bus operations as compared to a roll up type door. To the best of my knowledge, these doors have never been hit by a bus entering or exiting the garage. The doors completely open in 15 seconds, stay open for 30 seconds and close completely in 15 seconds. There are approximately 250-300 openings and closings daily for each set of doors, entrance and exit, making it about 110,000 cycles per year per door. The current doors are operated with 480v 3 phase electric and are tied into RTA’s backup generator and the new door systems should operate on 480 3 phase electricity.
