The scope covers approximately 386.23 linear feet of 7-foot tall black tubular steel fence with speared tops, one double swing gate at the southern entrance, one pedestrian swing gate at the front entrance, and one mechanically operated sliding gate with motor and wiring. Work must comply with Army Technical Publication 3-39.32 and UFC 4-022-03 force protection standards. The facility address is 111 Honorable Gordon M Owen Riverway, Taunton, MA 02780.

The contractor must provide a detailed project schedule, obtain all necessary permits and licenses, and deliver a one-year full warranty on all completed work.

The estimated contract value is $130,000. The contractor must submit lump-sum pricing and provide proof of insurance and contractor licensing. All employees working on-site must complete a minimum 10-hour OSHA-approved construction safety and health course prior to starting work, with documentation required in the first certified payroll report. Prevailing wage requirements apply; bidders must apply Davis Bacon wage rates and Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards rates, paying whichever is higher for each trade, since the project receives funding from both the National Guard Bureau and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Prime contractors and filed sub-bidders must submit weekly certified payrolls demonstrating wage compliance.

Bidders must submit performance and payment bonds, each equal to the contract price, and execute the contract within five days of presentation.
