The scope of work includes removal and replacement of damaged thirty-inch super maze razor wire in a small area, installation of two additional new rows of thirty-inch super maze razor wire around the existing twelve-foot-high perimeter security fence (one row inside and one row outside), and removal of an existing empty rigid conduit with weather head from the building, with the existing perimeter fence extending approximately 595 linear feet across four segments. The project requires compliance with specifications for AISI 430 series stainless steel barbed tape with galvanized steel reinforcing wire and must be completed within 60 calendar days from the notice to proceed. Contractors must possess a West Virginia Contractors License, demonstrate a minimum of three years' experience with similar work, employ factory-trained and authorized installation technicians, carry Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and Automobile Liability Insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence with the state named as additional insured, and comply with Division of Corrections security requirements including criminal background checks via NCIC and Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) compliance documentation for all personnel accessing the facility. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for September 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST at the facility, with the deadline for submittal of questions at 2:00 PM EST on September 29, 2025, and bids due by 10:30 AM EST on October 6, 2025, followed by public bid opening at 11:00 AM EST the same date.
