Scope of Work
There are existing fence and vehicle access gates at the USMMA in need of replacement to meet current security requirements. Interested firms must have the capability to provide 35%, 90% and 100% drawings for all fencing installed. Storage and staging is anticipated to be located on the property at a designated area.
• In one location, there is approximately 2,282 linear feet. The contractor will remove and replace the current wooden stockade fencing along the south side of the academy with a 6 foot tall black reinforced steel decorative chain link fencing that also incorporates black turf design visual and wind barriers. All of the fencing posts may be cut at or below ground level for ease of removal.

• In another location, there is approximately 813 linear feet of existing damaged fencing. The contractor will remove and replace the entire iron and combination chain link fencing along this section of roadway to the waterline and replace it with a 6 foot tall black reinforced steel, decorative chain link fencing that also incorporates black turf design visual and wind barriers. All of the fencing posts may be cut at or below ground level for ease of removal.

• The contractor will remove and replace an abandoned gated entrance to a deteriorated gate and make minor repairs to the two pillars that provide vehicle access as follows:
o Remove and dispose of the damaged Iron Gate.
o Replace and install a new 6ft tall swing gate constructed of decorative aluminum material that is similar to the decorative fence along Steppingstone Lane. The color will be black. The contractor must supply three design concepts of the proposed gate to choose from.
o On each side of this gate, there are two concrete pillars. The contractor will make minor repairs to the two cracked and deteriorated concrete pillars and pillar roofs. The government has replacement shingles and will supply them for this task.
