About this file

Amendment #1 is a document from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) related to the SELOC Perimeter Fence Site Show in Byram, MS for RFx 3160007351. The document contains a comprehensive list of contractor questions and answers regarding a fence installation project, covering details about gate configurations, gate operations, power supply, and project specifications. The amendment clarifies that there will be three main slide gates (two cantilever gates and one manual gate with a locking mechanism), including a 3-foot personnel gate at the flagpole. MEMA will remove trees before project start, provide power to specified locations, and handle the space between the building and fence after construction. The project bid is scheduled for May 22, 2025, at 1:00 pm.

The amendment addresses several key bidding and operational details, including gate access control, power provisions, and contractor qualifications. Notably, the document specifies that representatives can bid on behalf of two different fence companies if they have separate tax ID numbers, and that interested bidders do not need a Fire Marshal license for gate automation since SELOC will manage access control. The solicitation requires bidders to have been in business for 5 or more years but does not specify strict commercial experience requirements. Bidders with mixed residential and commercial experience are not automatically disqualified. The west gate will serve as the primary staff entrance and exit, with the east gate designated as exit-only, and the middle gate having a manual locking mechanism.

Contractor Questions and Answers

Vendor/Contractor Question Answer

1. Are all three gates going to be slide gates?

Yes, and they will be cantilever (referencing 3 main gates), plus a 3 ft personnel gate at the flagpole.

2. Is this (the west gate) the primary gate?

Yes, the west gate (next to Duro-Last)** will be the primary gate for staff entrance and exit.

3. Is the marked area where the fence will be, and will it join the existing fence (on the Duro-last side)?

Yes, the fence is going to meet but will not tie into the Duro-last fence.**

4. Will MEMA be removing the trees? Yes, MEMA will remove the trees before the project starts.

5. Are the gates going to be in and out?

Yes, the west (next to Duro-Last)** will be in and out, however, the middle gate will be manual with a locking mechanism. The west and east will be free exits with access control applied. East gate will be exit only.

6. Are you supplying power?

Yes. We will provide power to the locations you the vendor specify it will be needed following contract award and prior to construction start.

7. Will the fence go up against the building? No, MEMA will install and take care of the space between the building and the fence once the construction is complete.

8. Can someone representing two different fence companies place a bid from those two companies?

Yes, if the two companies are separate entities that are separated by two different tax ID numbers, one representative can bid on behalf of both companies.

9. Do you have to have a Fire Marshal license to install the gate automation?

Per the Fire Marshal’s Office, the licensing does pertain to the access control side of things and not the gate/operator piece.

Interested bidders do not have to have a license for RFx 3160007351 as our automation and access control will be managed by SELOC.

10. What if someone has residential experience and only some commercial experience? Will they be disqualified even with more than 5 years’ experience?

No. The solicitation requests that the interested bidder be in business and have experience for 5 or more years. It does not have a specification noted. (Section 6.1)
