This document is a prevailing wage rate determination and bid invitation issued by the Town of Dartmouth Parks & Recreation Department for Guard Rail and Fence Replacement at Dartmouth Regional Park & Trails, located at 443 Old Fall River Road in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. The project involves purchasing and installing approximately 2,254 linear feet of wood guard rail and fencing, including replacing existing fencing along the park roadway and throughout the park, with an additional post to be installed at the service entrance. The bid package includes specifications for pressure-treated wood posts and rails, with posts to be 8"x8" and 4"x10" single rails, spaced and mounted according to detailed requirements. The bid is scheduled to be opened on November 5, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., with a site visit optional on October 28, 2025 at the playground area.

The project requires contractors to provide workers' compensation and general liability insurance, comply with OSHA standards, and adhere to Massachusetts prevailing wage rates. A bid deposit of 5% is required in the form of a Bid Bond, certified check, or treasurer's check. The bid includes two alternate options: the primary guard rail replacement and an additional bid for approximately 560 linear feet of new fencing around the playground area. Contractors must submit detailed documentation including a Non-Collusion Statement, Tax Compliance Statement, and Certificate of Non-Segregated Facilities. The Town of Dartmouth reserves the right to reject any bids and will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, with the park roadway required to remain accessible during construction.
