Site Fencing Marshfield Armory - MEP

This project is being let using a new single prime bidding and contracting process. DFD will publicly bid the applicable mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP) divisions of work first. Within 5 days of the MEP bid opening, DFD will identify a lowest, qualified, responsible, certified bidder in each applicable MEP division of work. These successful MEP bids must be included in all general prime contractor bids received. No later than 5 days after DFD identifies the successful MEP bids, DFD will publicly open general prime contractor bids. General prime contractor bids that do not include the successful MEP bids will be rejected. The state will enter into a single contract with the lowest, qualified, responsible, certified general prime contractor and this general prime contractor will enter into subcontracts with the successful MEP bidders. In general, the work consists of installing 2,760 linear feet of fencing, including a chop and a slide gate to provide security for the entire Armory. The fencing project will implement force protection measures to protect personnel, control site access and create a standoff distance between public roads and areas at the property boundary with the military equipment and facilities. The fencing will include a UFC standard security fence topped with three strands of barb wire for protection. To minimize maintenance a gravel base will be added along the bottom perimeter of the fence to minimize landscaping. The project will also include electrical and lighting upgrades. The electrical upgrades will provide power and control cabling for the required entrance fence gates. Additional lighting is also required to improve security within the armory grounds. The added lighting will also offer additional improvements for training and yard activities. Bidder shall identify the division of work they are bidding on when requesting Bidding Documents online. Base Bids will be received as a single lump sum bid for: 5) Electrical. Bid Guarantee in the amount of 10% of the Bid must accompany each bid submitted.
