18 Century Kitchen Garden Fence

The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation is soliciting competitive bids for a specialized historical fencing project at the Jamestown Settlement American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, located in Yorktown, Virginia. The procurement opportunity, identified by Project Code #425-17977-000A, involves the fabrication and installation of an 18th-century style wooden fence surrounding a 53' x 36' garden area. Interested contractors must prepare comprehensive proposals demonstrating expertise in historical construction techniques and period-appropriate materials. The bid solicitation was posted on January 5, 2017, with a firm submission deadline of January 17, 2017, giving potential bidders approximately 12 days to prepare and submit their proposals. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, contractors can expect assessment based on historical accuracy, material quality, craftsmanship, and overall project understanding. The project is geographically situated in Surry County, Virginia, and requires precise historical replication of an 18th-century garden fence construction method.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the contract opportunity description. The procurement appears to be open to standard commercial contractors with demonstrated capability in historical restoration and construction. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the documentation. Similarly, no specific budget range or award value was provided in the original solicitation. The project's unique nature suggests a specialized procurement that will likely require contractors with specific expertise in historical construction techniques and a deep understanding of 18th-century architectural and landscaping practices. Potential bidders would need to demonstrate technical proficiency in woodworking, historical preservation techniques, and the ability to accurately recreate period-appropriate fencing structures.
