Pursuant to this Request for Proposal ("RFP"), the City of Waterbury, Department of Education (the "City"), is seeking proposals from third parties (each a "proposer" or "contractor" and, collectively, "proposers" or "contractors") to remove and replace the front entry doors at Driggs Elementary School ("Driggs") and Woodrow Wilson ("Wilson") Elementary School (the "Project") located at 77 Woodlawn Terrace and 235 Birch Street, respectively, in Waterbury, Connecticut. Kennedy High School at 422 Highland Avenue, Waterbury, CT is a proposal alternate. DRIGGS ELEMENTARY The selected contractor will remove the existing metal doors, side panels, and wooden arch. New doors with a matching arch featuring glass inlays will be installed while preserving the arch's shape to align with the brick arch at the school's entrance. The side panels will be solid to ensure privacy and prevent unwanted visibility. The doors and arch will be constructed separately, allowing for future door replacements without altering the arch. The arch will incorporate glass inlays to allow natural daylight to enter. The openings will be matched precisely to the existing arch. Additionally, the panels surrounding the arch will be made of aluminum, mirroring the inlay panels on the sides of the doors. Measurements must be taken by each vendors to ensure correct fit 2 WILSON ELEMENTARY The existing opening at Wilson Elementary must be fully enclosed with aluminum doors, consisting of two 36-inch doors. The remaining space should be filled with aluminum inlays. The bottom of the doors should also incorporate aluminum inlays to match the side panels. The entire length of the opening, approximately 10 feet (to be verified during the project walkthrough), must be fitted with glass inlays to allow natural light to enter. KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL - ALTERNATE Install a new right-side swing door in place of the existing left-side swing door. The opening should be matched to the existing dimensions to maximize accessibility.
