About this file
This is Addendum #1 to an Invitation to Bid issued by the Florida Department of Military Affairs, Construction & Facility Management Office, on behalf of the Florida Army National Guard at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center. The addendum addresses clarifications and modifications to the original bidding documents for the removal and replacement of approximately 5,784 linear feet of chain-link fencing, including terminal posts, line posts, barbed wire, and two 30-foot manually operated cantilever gates. The project requires black vinyl, 6-foot high fencing with 1 foot of barbed wire with black vinyl coating, with an alternate bid item (ABI 1) for 7-foot high fencing. The original Invitation to Bid was issued on March 13, 2026, with the pre-bid meeting and site visit scheduled for March 24, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. The deadline for bidder questions was March 31, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., and sealed bids are due to be publicly opened on April 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The addendum requires acknowledgment on Exhibit 4 - Bid Proposal form and includes eight questions and answers addressing chain-link wire specifications, post removal procedures, grounding requirements, licensing, permits, post sizing, and hardware sourcing.
Key clarifications in the addendum establish that the fence must utilize Class 2b-Commercial Grade wire with 9-gauge core wire and polyvinyl chloride-coated steel fabric with 92 grams of zinc coating per square meter in accordance with ASTM F668, with Twist Top and Knuckle Bottom selvage configuration. Entire fence posts must be removed along with concrete footers, and grounding is required only for gate posts, not line posts. A General Contractor license is not mandatory for the project, and no permit is required. Post sizing specifications reference the USACE FE6-TR-72 Chain-Link Security Fence specifications table for fences 72 inches and above, calling for 2-1/2-inch line posts and 3-inch terminal posts. All hardware must be domestic due to federal funding under the Build America, Buy America Act (Pub. L. No. 117-58, Section 70901-52, Title IV). The project includes separate line items on the proposal form for both the Base Bid and Alternate Bid Item (ABI 1).

Q4. Please confirm if grounding of the fence and gates is to be included.
A4. Grounding of the gate posts are included (NOT Line posts)
Q5. Could you please confirm whether a General Contractor license is mandatory for this project?
A5. No, a GC license is not mandatory.
Q6. Is a permit required.
A6. No, a permit is not required.
Q7. Specs pg 02444-1 calls for 2" line posts and 2-1/2" Terminal posts, and on FE6 Chain Link details show 2-1/2" line posts and 3" terminal posts?
A7. The post size confusion is because they are looking at 2 different fences. We have dealt with this in the past. The table shows “Up to 72” and then it shows 72” and above.
The correct table is the 72” and above.
Q8. Does the hardware need to be domestic or is import acceptable?
A8. Yes, it must be domestic. Due to the money being Federal. (Refer to Section D-4 Buy America Preference (Pub. L. No. 117-58,§§ 70901-52, Title IV—Build America, Buy America Act)
C. You are preparing a bid for a Base Bid and an Alternate Bid Item (ABI 1). There are two separate line items on the proposal form for each bid.
