SUMMARY
Alachua County is soliciting bids for a comprehensive replacement of detention-grade sliding door operating devices at the Alachua County Jail (3333 NE 39th Ave, Gainesville, FL). The scope of work involves removing existing mechanisms and installing new, detention-rated sliding device assemblies for double sliding corridor doors, pod entry doors, and single sliding housing unit doors. Contractors are responsible for demolition, installation of new operating mechanisms, reinstallation/adjustment of existing detention doors, security caulking, anchoring, hardware installation, and operational testing. Due to the proprietary nature of existing housings, onsite field investigation and verification are required prior to fabrication. Operational requirements mandate that facility security be maintained, with doors removed only one at a time. Bids are due June 17, 2026, at 12 SE 1st Street, 3rd Floor, Gainesville, FL.
