Henry County Schools, a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is soliciting competitive bids for a comprehensive playground fencing installation project targeting seventeen elementary schools within Henry County. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) requires contractors to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and services to install chain link fencing and gates, with specific technical requirements including 2-inch mesh, 9-gauge wire fabric fencing, and hot-dipped galvanized steel framework. Bid documents must include detailed documentation such as licensing verification, insurance certificates, reference forms, and immigration compliance documents. The procurement timeline indicates a bid release on September 9, 2025, with a mandatory two-day site visit scheduled for September 17-18, 2025, and bid submissions due on October 9, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST. The evaluation period will occur from October 9-10, 2025, with an anticipated contract award on October 15, 2025, and an initial contract term running through November 1, 2025.

The contract opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Contractors must comply with non-discrimination clauses, provide worker's compensation coverage, and utilize the federal work authorization program to verify employee eligibility. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, pricing will be based on linear feet of installation, and the district is exempt from state sales tax. The initial contract includes potential for four one-year renewal options, contingent upon mutual agreement and Henry County Board of Education approval. Delivery terms are Free on Board (FOB), with the district assuming ownership and liability upon project completion at each specified site. Bidders will need to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in fencing installation, technical compliance, and adherence to all specified project requirements to be considered for award.
