Removal & Replacement of Wood Fencing @ 3 Sites

The Arc Erie County New York is seeking a qualified fencing contractor to remove and replace existing wood fencing at three group home locations in Erie County, specifically at 4369 McKinley Parkway in Hamburg, 33 Strasbourg Avenue in Cheektowaga, and 31 Tennyson Avenue in Buffalo. The procurement is a one-time contract for comprehensive fencing replacement, requiring contractors to obtain necessary permits, coordinate with neighbors, coordinate underground utility locating, dispose of old materials, and install new pressure-treated "Good Neighbor" style fencing with specific site-specific configurations. Key deliverables include installing different gate types, such as one-man gates and double gates with support wheels and latches, and adhering to detailed specifications for fencing installation including precise post count and cross bracing. Contractors must submit a fence sample for approval and demonstrate service knowledge, experience, and references. The electronic bid submission is due by May 16, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with interested bidders required to email bids@arceriecounty.org with "Fencing Installation" in the subject line to obtain full bid requirements.

This procurement is not designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned set-aside and appears open to all qualified fencing contractors. The project is tax-exempt and non-prevailing wage, which may impact potential bidders' cost structures. No incumbent vendors or current contractors have been identified as having been awarded similar contracts within the past five years. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project involving three separate group home locations suggests a substantial investment in fencing infrastructure. The evaluation criteria will focus on contractors' service knowledge, experience, references, and overall project cost, with an emphasis on detailed compliance with the project's specific fencing installation requirements. Prospective contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability, professional expertise, and the ability to meet the precise specifications outlined in the Request for Proposal.
