Conservation/SLD/FW-FY25-Gates FW Properties

The State of Alabama's State Lands Division is seeking a vendor to provide fifteen 16-foot steel-framed gates for Forever Wild Properties located in Baldwin County. The procurement opportunity, identified as Contract ID 67cc46334e5418180109b8c2, requires gates constructed with 2-inch steel square tubing, featuring 4x4 hinge posts, latch posts with lock boxes, and standalone posts with end caps. All gate components must be sand blasted and powder coated brown, with a mandatory six-week turnaround time from purchase order receipt. A critical component of this procurement is the mandatory site visit scheduled for Monday, March 31, 2025, at 9:00 AM, located at the Coastal Office in Spanish Fort, Alabama, with Tom King serving as the point of contact. The delivery destination is specified as 31115 5 Rivers Blvd, Spanish Fort, AL 36527, and vendors must include delivery costs in their proposal. The solicitation follows a strict "All or None" procurement approach, meaning the entire gate order must be fulfilled by a single vendor.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, the standard boilerplate suggests several mandatory compliance requirements. Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys, enrolled in the E-Verify program, and comply with the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate they are not debarred, not engaged in boycotts, and capable of providing necessary documentation including manufacturer authorizations and certificates of insurance. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the gate project. Vendors should be prepared to submit comprehensive documentation and meet stringent state procurement standards, with the state reserving the right to analyze bid cost realism, inspect delivered products, and cancel contracts with appropriate notice. Interested vendors must carefully review the attached specification document and standard boilerplate to ensure full compliance with all state procurement requirements.
