City of Lakewood Maintenance Campus Site Fence

The City of Lakewood, located in Jefferson County, Colorado, is soliciting bids for the Maintenance Campus Site Fence project (Bid No. 6380), which involves installing approximately 430 linear feet of chain-link fencing at multiple locations (1050 & 1060 Quail Street and 870 Parfet). The project specifically requires 122 linear feet of 6' chain link fence at a wall, 28 linear feet of 6' chain link fence, 280 linear feet of 4' chain link fence at a wall, and 4 concrete fence post bases. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (RMEPS) by September 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for August 28, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. on-site. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond and maintain their bid for 60 calendar days after the submission deadline. The City will evaluate bids based on the lowest, most responsive, most responsible, and most qualified bidder, with a total project completion timeline of 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Bidders are required to submit comprehensive qualifications, including company history, previous contracts, financial status, equipment, and potential legal issues.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must meet extensive insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in General Liability and Automobile Liability coverage, with a $2,000,000 aggregate limit. The City of Lakewood must be named as an additional insured on all policies, with specific endorsements required. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves eliminating fall hazards by installing fencing along existing site retaining walls. Contractors will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits, ensuring site protection, and complying with local and national construction standards. The contract will include performance and payment bonds, with a five-year warranty period for the installed fencing. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the unit pricing approach suggests flexibility in final project costs based on the detailed fence installation components.
