Security Fence Project - Morgan County

Morgan County, Colorado is requesting proposals for a Security Fence Project at the Morgan County Justice Center and East Point Buildings, with proposals due October 8, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. MST. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site walkthrough were held September 17, 2026; responders who did not attend are subject to contract terms limiting change orders. Morgan County may grant a 5% preference to local businesses maintaining a physical place of business in Morgan County.

The scope is installation of approximately 1,200 linear feet of commercial-grade black chain-link security fencing with seven gates (4 feet to 24 feet), concrete footings, black privacy slats, and complete site cleanup. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, permits, and incidentals, and provide product specifications for chain-link gauge, post diameters, wall thicknesses, post lengths, and coating specifications. All work must include a two-year warranty period following final completion.

Award will not be based on price alone. Morgan County evaluates quality, past experience, qualifications, warranties, and long-term costs. The successful contractor must provide worker's compensation insurance, employer's liability insurance with minimum limits of $500,000 per accident and $1,000,000 per disease policy limit, and commercial general liability insurance with minimum combined single limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence and $1,000,000 general aggregate. A payment and performance bond equal to the full contract price is required. Periodic progress payments will be made within thirty days of approval at 95% of completed work, with the County retaining 5%.

Proposals must be submitted in two copies and include a cover letter, proposal reply form, complete project schedule, and references form. Written questions are due October 1, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. MST. Proposal opening occurs October 9, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. MST, viewable via Zoom. The contract award date and notice to proceed are to be determined. Submissions are accepted through BidNet Direct, email, hand delivery, or mail.
