Fencing and gate system installation, maintenance and repair service

The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) is soliciting sealed bids for a comprehensive Fencing and Gate System Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Services contract through Request for Bid No. 26-048-B. The procurement seeks to establish a pool of qualified contractors to provide services for repairing, demolishing, and replacing fencing, gates, operators, and associated equipment across four distinct geographical zones. Contractors must demonstrate capabilities in servicing various fence types including chain-link, wood privacy, ornamental, and barbed wire fences, along with gate and operator systems in industrial, urban, and rural locations. The bid requires comprehensive documentation, including asset inventories, inspection reports, and compliance with safety and operational standards. Bid submittals are due on November 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Time, with electronic submissions accepted through ntmwd.bonfirehub.com, and the initial contract term is one year with potential automatic renewals for four additional one-year periods, not to exceed a total of five years.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be awarded at NTMWD's discretion, considering factors such as supplier price, availability, and project specifications. Estimated annual expenditure for these services exceeds $500,000, with pricing to remain firm during the initial contract period and potential future adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area. Contractors must demonstrate technical capabilities, staffing expertise, equipment readiness, and ability to service multiple zones across NTMWD's extensive service area, which spans multiple counties including Grayson, Collin, Dallas, and Rockwall. The district will maintain a pool of contracted suppliers who will receive work orders and provide not-to-exceed pricing for specific projects, with the flexibility to award jobs based on individual project requirements and contractor qualifications.
