Tonopah Fence Gates Replacement

The Bureau of Land Management Nevada Region is seeking a contractor to replace fence gates at their Tonopah Field Office through a firm fixed-price construction contract. The project involves removing three existing manual gates (one vehicle gate and two pedestrian gates) and installing new automated, locking gate systems including a 30-foot telescoping cantilever vehicle gate and two pedestrian gates with card reader access control integrated into the existing Physical Access Control System. All gates must be equipped with emergency egress features, battery backup systems capable of operating in extreme weather conditions down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, and comply with federal security standards including FICAM and HSPD-12. The contractor must possess Gallagher Security PACS manufacturer training and certification and provide a three-year service warranty covering manufacturing and workmanship defects. The award will be made using a best-value trade-off process that considers technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical and past performance weighted more heavily than price. The original quote submission deadline was extended to June 19, 2025, at 5:00 PM PT, with a mandatory site visit having occurred on June 5, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) with a size standard of $19 million. The estimated project value ranges between $100,000 and $250,000, though no current incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The work must be completed within a 98-calendar day performance period running from July 1, 2025, to December 20, 2025, with construction activities restricted to Monday through Friday between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM. The project will be performed at the BLM Tonopah Field Office located in Nye County, Nevada, requiring compliance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage determinations for heavy construction work in that county. Key deliverables include complete gate system installation with electrical work, conduit trenching, pavement modifications, and full integration with existing security infrastructure, all designed to operate reliably in harsh desert conditions.
