Can I use the garage doors in a Fire Department Apparatus Bay as a window to calculate my ventilation for ASHRAE 62.1.? We have have exhaust louvers at the rear of the building.

Michael, I don't see an issue with using the garage doors as the operable area. ASHRAE 62.1-2007 (Section 5.1.1) solely refers to operable wall or roof openings, rather than windows only.
