Description
The City of Madison’s Metro Transit department is seeking a qualified vendor to supply and install fall‑protection systems for five (5) currently unprotected bus work bays at its electric‑bus maintenance facility (3829 Hanson Rd). Each bay is 60 ft long and requires a rigid‑lifeline anchor‑track system with two tracks per bay (or a dual‑track configuration) to allow two workers to move simultaneously. The system must include self‑retracting, arc‑flash‑rated lifelines (Class 1 or better). Existing ceiling fans will be removed prior to installation. The contract will be awarded based on a weighted score (lead time, functionality, warranty, cost, and local‑vendor preference). An optional site visit is scheduled for 10/07/2026. Proposals are due 10/23/2026.
