Conservation/Parks/Cheaha - Upper Campground Gate Replacement

The state of Alabama, specifically Conecuh County, is seeking a contractor to replace and install a Door King Barrier Gate at Cheaha State Park's Upper Campground, located at 19644 Highway #281 in Delta, Alabama. The procurement opportunity requires a vendor with demonstrated expertise in Door King Gate installations to complete a comprehensive gate replacement project involving specific equipment components, including a barrier arm gate operator, surge protector, 14' octagonal aluminum arm, reverse edge hardware kit, transformer, and LED components. The project demands approximately 18 hours of combined project management and installation labor, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for February 27, 2025, at 10am at the Mountain Store. Vendors must follow strict check-in/check-out procedures, maintain regular communication with park staff, and complete the entire project by March 17, 2025. The solicitation requires vendors to submit detailed pricing that encompasses all materials, supplies, equipment, and labor costs, with no permitted substitutions for specified equipment. Proposals must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys, the state's procurement portal, by the February 28, 2025 due date.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The project does not indicate information about incumbent vendors or current contractors. While a specific budget range was not disclosed, the scope suggests this is a relatively focused infrastructure improvement project for Cheaha State Park. The procurement follows the State of Alabama Division of Procurement's standard Quick Quote process, which requires vendors to be registered in Alabama Buys and capable of accepting multiple electronic payment methods, including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and electronic funds transfers. Vendors must also be prepared to comply with state procurement regulations, including potential cost analysis and price reasonableness evaluations that may be conducted at the Chief Procurement Officer's discretion. The project requires vendors to demonstrate technical proficiency with gate installation, particularly with Door King gate systems, and ability to work within the operational constraints of a state park environment.
