Troup County Board of Commissioners is requesting sealed bids for razor ribbon fencing installation at the Troup County Sheriff's Office, 100 Sam Walker Drive, LaGrange, Georgia, with bids due August 11, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on July 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at the project site.

The scope covers installation of razor ribbon and extension arms across three operational pods (A, B, C) at the existing jail facility. Work includes installing two runs of 30-inch razor ribbon between existing ribbon lines, adding 5-foot extension arms to 129 existing fence posts at 45-degree angles, and installing one run of 30-inch razor ribbon on the extension arms. Total fence length is 3,543 linear feet across the three pods, with an average fence height of 12 feet. The project also includes three drive-through gates (one 12-foot gate in each of Pods A, B, and C) and two walk-through gates (5-foot gates in Pods A and C). The existing second row of razor wire in Pod A requires lifting approximately 6 inches. All work must be performed to craftsman-like quality per industry standards; the contractor must remove all unused materials and debris and provide manufacturers' product warranties plus labor and installation warranties. Troup County will obtain all necessary permits and pay all permit fees.

The contract is awarded on a lump sum basis to the single bidder deemed most qualified and offering best value. Anticipated construction start is September 2026, with substantial completion required within 60 consecutive calendar days. Bids must remain valid for 60 days after opening. All proposals require a fully executed proposal form, a 5% bid bond, and a detailed project proposal demonstrating compliance with scope of work. The successful bidder must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of contract price, comprehensive liability insurance with the County named as co-insured, and workers' compensation insurance. All clarification requests must be submitted via email only to Ramona Gillham, Troup County Purchasing Director, at rgillham@troupcountyga.gov, with a deadline of 5:00 p.m. EST on August 4, 2026.
