Guard Rail and Fence Replacement

The Town of Dartmouth Parks & Recreation Department is seeking bids for a Guard Rail and Fence Replacement project at Dartmouth Regional Park & Trails, located at 443 Old Fall River Road in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. The procurement involves purchasing and installing approximately 2,254 linear feet of wood guard rail and fencing, with specifications requiring pressure-treated wood posts (8"x8") and single rails (4"x10"), mounted according to precise technical requirements. Contractors must provide workers' compensation and general liability insurance, comply with OSHA standards, and adhere to Massachusetts prevailing wage rates. The bid is scheduled to be opened on November 5, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., with an optional site visit on October 28, 2025 at the playground area. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid deposit via Bid Bond, certified check, or treasurer's check, and must provide comprehensive documentation including a Non-Collusion Statement, Tax Compliance Statement, and Certificate of Non-Segregated Facilities.

The solicitation includes two alternate bid options: the primary guard rail replacement and an additional bid for approximately 560 linear feet of new playground fencing. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the Town of Dartmouth reserves the right to reject any bids and will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. The project requires maintaining park roadway accessibility during construction, indicating a need for minimal operational disruption. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documentation. Contractors must demonstrate technical competence in fencing and guard rail installation, understanding of municipal project requirements, and ability to meet stringent insurance and compliance standards. The procurement appears focused on selecting a qualified contractor capable of executing a precise, technically demanding infrastructure improvement project within the specified parameters.
