Vista Continuation High School Modernization: Fencing with ALTERNATE

The Vista Continuation High School Modernization project, managed by the Kern High School District Business Services Department, is soliciting bids for a fencing package under Bid No. 6945. The scope of work includes the provision and installation of chain link fences and gates, decorative metal fences and gates, and chain link baseball backstops at the school located in Bakersfield, California. The project also includes an optional alternate for 10-foot perimeter chain link fencing. Bids are due by October 21, 2026, and must be submitted to the Director of the Business Services Department. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a strong emphasis on the bidder's financial standing, general competency, and presence on the district's Prequalified Contractor Listing. Contractors are required to provide a bid security deposit of 10 percent and must adhere to prevailing wage requirements. Performance bonds are required for all contracts, and payment bonds are mandatory for those exceeding 25,000 dollars. The project mandates a 3 percent DVBE participation goal, requiring bidders to provide documentation of good faith efforts if this goal cannot be met. Technical requirements include strict adherence to ADA standards, California Building Code, and specific labeling and packaging protocols for materials. Project administration is overseen by Teter Architect and SC Anderson, with a 45-day acceptance period beginning after the issuance of the Notice of Completion.
