Post and Cable Fencing for Buckley Buffer Parcels 5 & 9

The City of Aurora, Colorado, through its Finance Purchasing Services Department, is soliciting bids for a post and cable fencing project at Buckley Buffer Parcels 5 & 9, spanning approximately 8,700 linear feet. The procurement opportunity, identified by Project/Bid No. 6041A, requires contractors to install fencing according to specified project manual, specifications, special conditions, and drawings. Key project requirements include removing existing post and wire fencing, installing ground rods along power poles, and connecting the new fencing to two existing tube gate locations. Cable splicing is permitted to minimize material waste, with guidelines specifying that cables should be taut and horizontal with minimal slack. The solicitation was posted on November 20, 2024, with bid submissions due by December 12, 2024, and potential bidders must acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 2 on their bid forms to be considered responsive. The City of Aurora will handle the surveying and fence line marking, which represents a modification from the original contract specifications that previously assigned this responsibility to the contractor.

There are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation mentioned in the available documentation. The project does not specify preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or other organizational constraints. Similarly, no information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. While a precise budget range is not detailed, the scope of work involving 8,700 feet of fencing suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. Potential bidders should carefully review the project manual and addendum to understand the full technical requirements, installation specifications, and project parameters. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate capability in fencing installation, particularly in managing cable tension, ground rod placement, and integration with existing gate structures. The project appears to be a standard municipal infrastructure improvement initiative focused on boundary demarcation and land management in the Arapahoe County and Aurora City regions of Colorado.
