RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise for bids for the 2023 On-Call Fencing Services Contract(s) for fencing repair, replacement and installation services at various County sites and facilities, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract(s) will be funded by various Local Road, Flood Control District, Special Districts, and General Funds. (100% Various Funds)

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department (Public Works) is responsible for the repair and replacement of fences at various County-owned sites and facilities, which include but are not limited to: County-maintained roads, various County Districts (Flood Control, Water Conservation and Special Districts) properties and easements, hospitals, detention centers, clinics, warehouse and office buildings. The on-call fencing services contracts are also needed to assure the County has access to these services for emergencies as well as to provide supplemental fencing services, gates, barriers and related appurtenances.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Public Works is requesting authorization to advertise and conduct a formal solicitation for fencing repair, replacement and installation services. A Notice to Bidders would be placed in the Contra Costa Times and several building exchanges in accordance with the Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual of the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission.

Public Works intends to award at least one (1) but not more than three (3) contracts, total of contracts not to exceed $1,800,000. Each contract will have a term of three (3) years with the option of two (2) one-year extensions and will be used as needed with no minimum amount that has to be spent.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the request to advertise is not approved, the Public Works Department will not be able to meet requests for fencing repair, replacement and installation services.
