1. INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in California has recently completed construction of a new fire station building within the existing interagency fire station facility in Doyle, CA. The BLM is looking for a fencing contractor to replace portions of the existing damaged or inadequate chainlink perimeter fencing/gate around the facility site. The new chainlink perimeter fencing shall fix the deficiencies of the existing fencing and provide enhanced security for the facility.

2. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Scope of Work and Project Requirements Summary

The BLM requires a fencing contractor to replace approximately 1,377 feet of the existing damaged or inadequate chainlink perimeter fencing at the Doyle Fire Station facility. Contractor shall be licensed in California. Contractor shall review all provided documents including the latest Doyle Fire Station construction drawings to understand the existing site and perimeter fencing details and specifications. The existing fencing including existing gates noted to be replaced on the provided fence replacement plan shall be fully removed and properly disposed of including any concrete footings. The new chainlink fencing and gate shall be installed per the latest provided construction documents and match the type, material, height, and configuration of the adjacent existing perimeter fencing segments that are to remain in place. The new galvanized steel chainlink perimeter fencing shall feature 3-strand barbed wire angled outwards at the top of the fence and shall have fence posts embedded in new concrete pole footings.

The new manual rolling gate at the east perimeter shall also feature 3-strand barbed wire at the top of the gate. Several existing trees growing on the north perimeter fence line require trimming or removal to prevent interference/damage to the new fencing and to remove the opportunity for trespassers to climb the trees and bypass the fencing.

Contractor shall perform a site visit to the project location to verify existing conditions and gather all required information necessary to install the required fencing.

Contractor shall take care to avoid damaging existing facilities/utilities and shall repair any damage due to Contractor’s work at no cost to the Government. Where alterations are required to perform the work, Contractor shall ensure that the facilities maintain their original functionality and are left in a similar or better condition as before the work was performed.
