ODOC-FY25-Fence Removal and Relocation

The contract involves the removal and replacement of fencing along a designated property line in Ohio, with a focus on a specific 6-foot galvanized fence that includes barbed wire, which is to be partially dismantled and disposed of, while retaining usable components such as fabric, top rails, and barbed wire arms in good condition. Approximately 2,020 feet of this fence, along with all vertical posts, are to be removed, with holes filled or cut below grade to prevent damage from pneumatic tires. The existing swing gates and slider gate within the fence line are to be discarded, and the area will be re-fenced with approximately 1,850 feet of existing, repurposed 6-foot galvanized chain-link fencing. Special attention is required for large tree roots along the south fence line, where roots conflicting with the new fence are to be notch-cut without felling the entire tree. New line and terminal posts will be installed as needed, and all salvaged hardware will be reused or supplemented with new hardware. The relocated fence will include a new bottom tension wire, and all “property of Ohio” signs are to be reinstalled in similar positions. The project also mandates the removal and proper disposal of all old fencing materials, gates, and unused components, ensuring a clean and functional fence line that meets property and safety standards. The contract is set within a scope of a project valued between $50,000 and $150,000, with a response deadline of September 4, 2024, and is managed by the Ohio Department of Commerce.
