NIGP 33049: Fencing, Split Rail

NIGP 33049 Fencing, Split Rail is an Item code representing fence installation, repair, and maintenance services across multiple fence types, with state and local governments buying installation of new fence systems, emergency repair and replacement of damaged sections, maintenance and warranty work, and gate fabrication and automation. Issuing bodies include school districts, city governments, county departments, and special-purpose public authorities; Hillsborough County Public Schools and Collier County, Florida appear twice in the recent activity. Work scopes range from single-facility cemetery fence replacement and emergency hurricane-damage repairs to multi-facility maintenance contracts spanning dozens of locations and multi-million-dollar regional park construction projects encompassing perimeter fencing as one component within broader site development. Fence types solicited include galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link, vinyl privacy fencing, wood post and rail, steel decorative and aluminum rail systems, and specialty materials such as Antebellum Manufacturing aluminum fencing. Contracts frequently require one-year workmanship warranties, compliance with E-Verify employment verification and debarment certifications, and bonding equal to 5 percent of bid amount for bids and 100 percent for performance and payment.
