Fencing services pool for small jobs

Solicitation #ITB #PR0-6543. Issued by FAS - Purchasing. The purpose of this solicitation is to establish a pool of qualified vendors to provide permanent and temporary fencing services as needed by the City. The City anticipates a variety of fencing services work, including permanent and temporary fencing, and associated gates and/or installation services. Fencing work would be small jobs, all less than $200,000, and are not intended to include major structural work that requires architectural or engineering design. In some cases, City departments may want to purchase material from the vendor. Vendors must adhere to standards of the Chain Link Manufacturers Institute for “Galvanized Steel Chain Link Fence Fabric” and CHAIN LINK FENCE MANUFACTURERS INSTITUTE PRODUCT MANUAL, Standard Guide for Metallic-Coated Steel Chain Link Fence & Fabric, and City of Seattle Standards listed in Section 4, Specifications and Scope of Work. The City would contact vendors when small jobs are needed. City departments may request quotes from one or more of the vendors in the pool. The vendor is to provide a quote with a detailed description of the work. Vendors will provide quotes in alignment with contract pricing, as outlined in Section 6.8-Work Order Quotations of this ITB. The vendor shall not proceed until given written notice by the City Department. The City does not have an estimate as to how much work may be available for a vendor. There may be few or no projects in a given year, or there may be a significant share of work. Contract usage last year was $1.2M with 330 work orders. Multiple Awards: The City expects to award contracts to more than one successful bidder.
