Security Fence and Gate Replacement

Solicitation 1305M327Q0004 is a request for quotation for the replacement of security fences and gates for the Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS) and its associated generator site at the Billy Mitchell Airport in Hatteras, North Carolina. The project is 100% set-aside for small business concerns under NAICS code 238990. The scope of work includes the removal and disposal of approximately 247 feet of existing fencing and the installation of 232 feet of new chain link fence with barbed wire, one 10-foot wide double gate, and one 4-foot single gate, all featuring barbed wire. Additionally, the contractor must re-attach the existing grounding system to the new fence. The base period of performance must be completed within 60 days after the notice to proceed. The contract will be awarded based on best value, where technical approach and price are weighted approximately equally. Technical evaluations will use confidence ratings, and the government will not award a contract at a significantly higher price for only a marginal increase in technical capability. Compliance requirements include the Davis-Bacon Act, Buy American preferences for domestic construction materials, and adherence to OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and NFPA 70E electrical safety standards. Contractors must provide payment protection via a payment bond or irrevocable letter of credit and submit payment requests electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform System. Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes: a technical quote and a price quote.
