Summary

This is a Bid Documents specification for the Reconstruct Airport Perimeter Fence Phase 2 project at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport in St. Petersburg, Florida, prepared by RS&H (Project Number 1004-1915-006) for Pinellas County (Project No. 459940). The project involves replacing vulnerable portions of existing airport perimeter fencing and gates with 8-foot tall prefabricated, non-scalable fencing topped with razor wire and wildlife deterrent skirts at the base to enhance safety and security of the Air Operations Area (AOA). The scope of work includes wire fence installation with steel posts (Class C and D fence configurations), concrete work, temporary erosion and sedimentation control, project stakeout and as-built survey services, mobilization, and temporary construction items such as barricades, signage, and debris removal. Key technical specifications require fence installers to demonstrate pre-qualification experience with at least two prefabricated fence panel projects from Cochrane fencing system manufacturers, including manual and automatic vehicle gates. All fencing materials must be galvanized and marine-grade coated, with specific requirements for woven wire (7-bar, 26-inch field fence), barbed wire (zinc-coated or copper-covered), and concrete footings with 3000 psi minimum compressive strength. Construction must comply with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-10H standards and accommodate ongoing airport operations, with the contractor required to maintain airport security protocols, obtain necessary badging clearances, and coordinate work schedules with Airport Operations at least 72 hours in advance of construction activities.

The specifications include mandatory safety and security requirements aligned with FAA and TSA guidelines, including designated staging areas, equipment marking with checkered flags and rotating beacons, and restrictions on work within Taxiway Object Free Areas (TOFA). Mobilization costs are limited to 10 percent of the total project cost, with payment terms structured as lump sum amounts for major work categories including erosion control, survey work, and temporary construction items. The contractor bears full responsibility for utility location and protection, environmental compliance, site cleanup, and restoration of haul routes and staging areas. The project requires a comprehensive Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) submission within 10 days of receipt of Notice to Intent to Award, comprehensive preliminary construction schedule at the pre-construction conference, and as-built survey certification by a Florida Licensed Professional Land Surveyor within 30 days of substantial completion. No specific contract term, renewal options, funding amounts, or award date are identified in these bid documents.
