Materials, Removal and Fencing Installations

The City of Sterling Heights, Michigan is requesting sealed bids for materials, removal, and installation services for fencing on an as-needed basis under ITB-SH26-031, with bids due July 21, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. via the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) system. The City intends to establish one or more contractors to handle multiple fencing projects throughout the year, including routine maintenance and emergency response work.

The scope encompasses removal of existing materials and installation of vinyl-coated chain link fencing in multiple heights, galvanized chain link fencing, decorative picket panels, pressure-treated pine, and privacy screening. Fencing specifications require post spacing not exceeding ten feet on center, concrete foundations with minimum 2500 psi compressive strength, and MIOSHA compliance. A one-year minimum warranty on both materials and labor is required. Contractors must respond to project notifications within two business days, complete site walkthroughs within two business days, and provide emergency response within two hours.

Bids must use unit pricing for each line item and include all materials, labor, delivery, and installation on an FOB Destination basis. Sales tax on installation materials must be included in bid prices. A five percent bid bond is required; successful bidders must provide a performance bond for the full contract amount.

Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum one million dollars per occurrence, workers' compensation insurance, and automobile liability coverage, with the City named as an additional insured.

The contract term is two years with two one-year renewal options, subject to mutual agreement. No pre-bid conference or site visit is specified. Individual project quantities are not identified in the solicitation; the framework establishes unit pricing for work as projects arise.
