Overview The purpose of this solicitation is to install security fencing around water storage tanks and repeater sites throughout the park that have no current security fencing installed. Most tanks and repeaters are to be fenced 10 feet away from the structures. Those structures with larger approximate footage indicate that additional space is wanted inside the fencing. Contractor is to locate and install the fence(s) so that climbing over or under is not possible without substantial effort on a trespassers part. Staking has been placed at sites however staking is approximate and may have been moved or removed by visitors and should not be the sole basis of proposals. The work will be done out of the visitors normal locations, therefore no additional scheduling requirements outside of normal working hours set forth in the following RFP. The sites are irregularly shaped with substantial elevation changes at some sites.
