109-710183/Gate Repair

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is requesting bids on replacement of six gates at the Guntersville Area Complex under Quick Quote 109-710183, with bids due October 28, 2026. A mandatory site visit is required before bidding; vendors must sign the site visit log at the equipment office (23445 U.S. Highway 431, Guntersville, Alabama 35976) during posted hours (7:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m., closed 12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m.), and no bids will be considered without documented evidence of attendance.

Vendors must be authorized fencing companies. No subcontracting is permitted. The gates will be lightweight aluminum construction with rollers, poles, hardware, latching systems, and security wire matching current fencing height and design.

The not-to-exceed contract value is $25,000 for the entire contract period including the original agreement and any subsequent renewals. The contract term may extend up to five years from the effective date with annual renewal options, provided the total cost does not exceed $25,000. Price escalation requests may be considered during performance if material or labor costs increase, subject to industry-specific or Consumer Price Index documentation, with approved increases not to exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost.

Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Compliance requirements include Alabama tax certification, E-Verify employment verification if employing workers in Alabama, and Secretary of State registration for foreign corporations. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all bids.
