Samarcand Training Academy for Safer Schools Security Fence

The work includes the installation of a security fence, tree clearing, pavement, and other necessary site related work to an existing site and facility. Work will be performed at the former East Montgomery High School, that was recently purchased by the State. Samarcand Training Academy will be using the site for training associated with Safer Schools. This site will strictly be used for training purposes. No K-12 Educational functions will be associated with this site. A security fence is necessary due to the amount of vandalism that has been occurring on the site. The front portion of the Security Fence, facing the roadway, shall be ornamental fencing. The remainder of the fencing shall be chain link fencing. The tree clearing included within the project is directly associated with the space and clearing needed for the installation of the new security fence. A large portion of the existing pavement has failed and needs to be replaced. As part of this project, the existing site road, that crosses the site, shall be completely replaced. The existing main entrance drive shall be reworked to accommodate a future guard house. The remaining pavement and parking areas shall be seal coated and new pavement striping added. The project includes all other work as shown, indicated, or reasonably implied on the drawings and/or specifications for a complete, first class job. Bids will be received for Single Prime. All proposals shall be lump sum. The full plan deposit will be returned to those bidders provided all documents are returned in good, usable condition within ten (10) days after the bid date. NOTE: The bidder shall include with the bid proposal the form Identification of Minority Business Participation identifying the minority business participation it will use on the project and shall include either Affidavit A or Affidavit B as applicable.
