Fencing Installation at Emergency Operations Center

Cherokee County, South Carolina is soliciting proposals for the construction and installation of a complete 6-foot commercial-grade chain link security fencing system with manual and automated gates around the Emergency Operations Center at 213 Alma Street in Gaffney. The solicitation, numbered 2027-03, was posted on July 22, 2026, with proposals due by August 12, 2026, and is open to qualified contractors with demonstrated experience in similar security fencing projects. The contract is governed by Cherokee County procurement procedures rather than federal FAR clauses, requiring a sealed submission with one original and one copy clearly labeled, accompanied by a current W-9 form, Certificate of Liability Insurance naming the County as certificate holder, proof of Workers’ Compensation coverage, vendor application, and completion of the Vendor Preference Affidavit. All bidders must pass a background check, adhere to a drug-free workplace policy, and comply with non-discrimination laws. Pricing must be firm for one year with annual increases capped at 5% in subsequent years, and payment terms are NET 30 days to the County’s Accounts Payable office at 110 Railroad Avenue, Gaffney, SC 29340. The award will be made based on best overall value, evaluating proposal completeness, pricing, quality, technical capability, experience, and responsiveness to mandatory requirements—no numerical weights are assigned, and trade-offs between cost and non-cost factors are permitted. The County reserves the right to terminate the contract for cause or without cause with thirty days’ notice, and all submitted materials become County property upon receipt. No FOB terms are specified, and performance is expected at the Emergency Operations Center site, with technical oversight provided by James Pruitt, Director of Maintenance, and procurement coordination handled by Abi Reid.
