The City of Worcester is procuring a comprehensive door‑lock and hardware replacement program for multiple Worcester Public Schools (WPS). The scope includes removal of existing locksets, supply and installation of new classroom locksets with indicator, office locksets, panic‑hardware/exit devices, and a limited number of solid‑wood interior doors.

The contract will be awarded on a sealed‑bid, lump‑sum basis, with a 5 % bid security, performance and payment bonds, and standard insurance requirements. • Replace ~1,200 door hardware items across 17 school sites (classroom locksets, office locksets, panic bars). • Install a district‑wide GGM restricted‑key hierarchy (Grand‑Master, Building‑Master, Classroom, etc.). • Mandatory pre‑bid site walks on Dec 9‑10 2024; attendance required for eligibility. • Bonds (100 % performance and payment) and insurance (CGL $1M/$2M, workers’ comp, auto, umbrella) are required.
