Fencing: D. G. Cooley Elementary School

The Clarke County Purchasing Office, on behalf of Clarke County Public Schools in Virginia, is soliciting competitive sealed bids for furnishing and installing black vinyl coated chain link fencing at D.G. Cooley Elementary School's baseball field in Berryville, with bids due October 29, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the jobsite.

The scope includes removal and replacement of existing fencing from dugout to dugout, installation of 8-foot tall black vinyl chain link fencing with 9-gauge wire and 2-inch diamond mesh, replacement of existing gates in original locations, installation of one additional single gate in the left outfield corner, addition of bottom rails to two small existing fence sections, and replacement of two small dugout-front fence sections with high-impact area modifications. All fencing shall include orange plastic safety caps. Vendors must submit lump-sum pricing for all work and materials and provide optional pricing for eliminating the batting cage area and two rock clause options (flat rate per hole or time and materials) for subsurface obstructions encountered during post hole drilling.

Vendors must hold a valid Virginia Contractor's License (if applicable), provide a Certificate of Insurance sample, proof of State Corporation Commission authorization to transact business in Virginia, and four recent project references. Worker's Compensation Insurance is required for employers of three or more employees. No bid bond or performance bond is required. All work and materials carry a minimum one-year warranty from invoice issuance following final inspection approval.

Project completion is required by February 15, 2027, before Clarke County High School's baseball season begins in mid to late February. Award is estimated for approximately one week after the due date. Clarke County reserves the right to reject any and all bids and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
