Town of Narrows is seeking bids for the construction of ballfield fencing

The Town of Narrows, located in Franklin County, Virginia, is seeking sealed bids from responsive and responsible contractors to replace the damaged Lurich Baseball Field fence following Hurricane Helene. The procurement involves the complete removal and disposal of existing fencing and the installation of approximately 1,125 linear feet of new 6-foot high chain-link fencing with a 50mm mesh size. The project scope includes four gates and associated fence fittings, posts, rails, top caps, and braces. Contractors must possess a Class A Contractor License and are required to submit bids by March 5, 2025, at 3:00 PM local time via hard copy, the Commonwealth's eVA system, or email. Potential bidders may arrange site visits to evaluate project requirements by contacting the Town Manager. The contract period is set from March 5, 2025, through April 30, 2025, and this is a federally-assisted project requiring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers compensation ($100,000/$500,000/$100,000), general liability ($1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate), automobile liability ($1M), and premises/operations liability ($1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate). The Town reserves the right to negotiate with the apparent low bidder if their bid exceeds available funds and may withhold 5% retainage if multiple payment applications become necessary. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves significant infrastructure repair and replacement. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are mentioned in the available documentation. Interested contractors should carefully review the full Invitation to Bid document to understand all project specifications and submission requirements.
