Event Fencing

The City of Thornton Parks Department is seeking an Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 25-549 for event fencing, specifically procuring approximately 2,000 linear feet of high-quality, traditional powder-coated steel event fencing in black. The preferred fencing panels should measure approximately 38" x 67.75" x 1.75", with the Mod-Traditional Fence by Mod Fence serving as the quality standard. This procurement is located in Adams County, Colorado, and is designed to provide temporary metal fencing that can be transported and erected by Thornton employees for festivals and events. Key procurement dates include the proposal issuance on 07/08/25, a deadline for additional questions on 07/15/25, written question responses on 07/18/25, and the proposal due date on 07/22/25. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, pricing, quality, delivery timelines, and warranties, with proposals required to submit unit prices for fencing panels and shipping. The bid will be awarded on an "all or none" basis, with incomplete proposals being rejected, and Thornton reserves the right to purchase part or the entire proposal.

The solicitation does not specifically indicate set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the city encourages cooperative purchasing and allows other governmental agencies to potentially utilize this contract. Thornton has built flexibility into the procurement process, maintaining the ability to reject any or all proposals and negotiate terms that best serve its interests. Delivery will be F.O.B. Destination to the Maintenance Service Center in Thornton, with deliveries restricted to 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The city is tax-exempt and will process the award through a purchase order generated by its Contracts and Purchasing Division. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, vendors must provide firm and fixed pricing for the initial award and purchase. The solicitation suggests the city is seeking a comprehensive solution that balances quality, cost-effectiveness, and operational flexibility for event infrastructure management.
