RFQ TRD01-TRD03 Removal and Replacement of Leaf Gate in Sandwich MA

The Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game's Division of Marine Fisheries is seeking a contractor to remove and replace a single leaf gate at Cravens Landing on Holway Road in Sandwich, Massachusetts, located within Barnstable County. The procurement is a lump sum contract under MGL Chapter 149 for projects between $10,000 and $49,999, with a specific focus on gate infrastructure replacement. The project requires furnishing and delivering one single leaf swing gate, two hold open/closed posts, and locking posts, with precise technical specifications mandating Schedule 40 steel pipe hot-dipped galvanized after fabrication. All gate components must meet specific material standards, including steel plate (ASTM-A-36), hardened steel pins, galvanized chain, and epoxy-coated rebar. The proposed timeline indicates a bid deadline of April 4, 2025, with a planned start date as soon as feasible and a contract completion date of June 30, 2025. Contractors will be responsible for all materials, labor, equipment, and installation as directed by the project engineer, with gate assembly requiring hot-dipped galvanization in accordance with AASHTO-M111 standards.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned, the project has an estimated construction cost of $12,000. The procurement does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or specify incumbent vendors. Pivot posts for the gate must be filled with 4,000 P.S.I. concrete, suggesting technical complexity that may require contractors with specialized infrastructure installation experience. The contract appears to be open to qualified contractors with expertise in gate installation, marine infrastructure, and precise metalwork. Potential bidders should carefully review the technical specifications in the Scope of Work document, which outlines detailed requirements for material composition, fabrication standards, and installation procedures. The relatively narrow budget range and specific technical requirements suggest this is a targeted project requiring precise technical capabilities and adherence to municipal infrastructure standards.
