ITB 2026-004 Golf Course Fence Replacement

The City of Burleson, Texas, located in Johnson County, has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2026-004 for a comprehensive Golf Course Fence Replacement project at Hidden Creek Golf Course. The procurement involves the installation of approximately 5,280 linear feet of 6-foot-tall wrought iron fence, with specific requirements including 5/8" x 1-5/8" x 16-gauge pickets, 1" x 1" x 14-gauge rails, and 2" x 2" x 14-gauge posts. The project also encompasses the removal and haul-off of existing concrete post and rail fencing, with an additional 600 linear feet of sacrificial, break-away, and tethered fencing required within the FEMA designated floodplain. A two-piece swinging gate with a locking mechanism spanning approximately 16 feet will be installed as part of the project. A non-mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for December 4, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with a deadline for written questions on December 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Bids are due December 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM through the City's electronic procurement system, Bonfire, with a virtual bid opening at 3:00 PM via Microsoft Teams.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals including proposed products and services, guarantees and warranties, project schedules, and three client references. Mandatory submission documents include a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, Form 1295 Certificate of Interested Parties, W-9 form, and an Offeror Acknowledgement form. The City reserves the right to reject any bid, award to multiple contractors, or re-solicit bids. The procurement allows for alternative fence style bids, including an equivalent to the Centurion Titan fence. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the detailed technical specifications for fence materials suggest a substantial infrastructure investment. The City is tax-exempt and will not include state sales tax or federal excise tax in contract pricing. The City Council recommendation for the contract award is anticipated for January 20, 2026, indicating a potential contract start date in early 2026.
