The solicitation issued by the Clayton County Board of Commissioners seeks quotes from qualified bidders to install approximately 282 linear feet of galvanized chain link fencing with barbed wire and a gate at 1383 Government Circle, Jonesboro, GA. The project requires comprehensive services including labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and coordination with the County’s project manager to ensure proper site access, utility locates, and adherence to specified material standards such as 9-gauge galvanized mesh with a minimum break load of 1,290 lbs. Bidders must submit their quotes electronically via BidNet by October 14, 2025, with a validity period of 90 days, and are encouraged to attend a non-mandatory site visit scheduled for September 30, 2025. The contract will be awarded based on responsiveness, qualifications, compliance with local and small business programs, insurance and bonding requirements, and references, with the County reserving the right to award to multiple bidders or not at all. The contractual framework emphasizes compliance with local ordinances, the County’s Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) and Local Vendor Performance programs, and federal civil rights statutes such as Title VI. Insurance requirements are mandatory, though bonding is not required for this project. The contract will be executed in a form similar to the draft included in the RFQ, with the County providing unsigned contracts for signature within ten days of award. The scope of work and technical specifications are detailed in the RFQ, but there are no explicit provisions for inspection, acceptance, or detailed delivery schedules beyond the site location. Bidders must also submit various certifications, including proof of E-Verify participation, business licenses, and affidavits, to demonstrate compliance with Georgia’s Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act. Payment procedures, contract administration contacts, and specific performance timelines are not explicitly detailed in the documents, but the primary contact for questions is Keisha Barnett via email or phone. Overall, the RFQ provides a comprehensive set of requirements aimed at ensuring qualified, compliant, and capable contractors can submit competitive quotes for this fencing installation project.
