Project Description: Installation of Wrought-Iron Fencing and Electronic Gates

 

Revive Alaska Community Services (RACS) has been awarded a federal grant for physical security enhancement measures. As a condition of the grant, RACS must undergo a competitive bidding process to ensure transparency and compliance. We are therefore seeking qualified contractors to submit bids or proposals for the purchase and installation of 1,100 feet of wrought-iron fencing and related features around the perimeter of our 1.7-acre property.

Scope of Work

The project includes the following elements:

1. Wrought-Iron Fencing:

   • Installation of approximately 1,100 linear feet of durable wrought-iron fencing.

   • Fence height and design should meet both security and aesthetic requirements for a perimeter barrier.

2. Secured Walk-Through Gate:

   • Design and installation of a secured pedestrian gate to allow walk-in access in case of electronic gate failure.

   • The gate should include appropriate locking mechanisms to ensure security.

3. Two Electronic Driveway Entry Gates:

   • Purchase and installation of two electronic gates to provide vehicular access.

   • Gates should be equipped with underground sensors and open/close mechanisms.

   • Contractors should provide recommendations on gate style (including sliding or swinging inward/outward) with consideration of snow buildup during winter months.

4. Electrical Installation for Gates:

   • Full electrical installation to support the operation of the electronic gates and sensors.

   • Compliance with local electrical codes and standards is required.

   • If your company is unable to provide the electrical installation for the electronic gates, please clearly indicate this in your proposal; this will not be held against you but will need to be taken into consideration to account for any additional costs.

5. Access Control System with Intercom:

   • Installation of an access control system for the gates, including a video/voice intercom for one electronic gate. The access control system will be procured separately, but installation (if possible) should be included in the bid.

Existing Conditions

• The property is currently enclosed by chain-link fencing, which will be removed prior to the commencement of this project.

• The terrain is relatively flat, but contractors are encouraged to inspect the site for any features or conditions that may impact the installation process.

Site Visit and Winter Work Considerations

• Contractors are encouraged to schedule a site visit to take precise measurements, assess the layout of the land, and gather necessary details for preparing their proposal. Site tours are available Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, from January 2, 2026, to January 30, 2026. Please schedule your visit in advance by contacting us at info@revivealaska.org.

• Please indicate in your bid whether your team can conduct installation work during the winter months and outline any potential weather-related adjustments to the project timeline.

Proposal Requirements

Contractors must include the following in their proposals:

1. Detailed pricing/pricing breakdown for all materials, labor, and installation services.

2. Technical specifications: Design specifications for the fencing and gates, including recommendations for gate operation style (sliding vs. swinging).

3. Breakdown of electrical installation costs for the gates and sensors.

4. Pricing for the pedestrian walk-through gate, including security features and installation cost.

5. Delivery timeline and terms: Timelines for project completion, with considerations for potential winter conditions.

6. Documentation of relevant experience and qualifications for similar projects.

7. Payment terms 

8. Company profile and relevant experience 

9. References and past project examples 

Evaluation Criteria

Proposals will be evaluated based on the following:

• Compliance with project specifications and requirements.

• Cost-effectiveness and value.

• Demonstrated experience and ability to complete similar projects.

• Availability and capacity to work during winter months.

• Overall quality of proposed materials and solutions.

• Summary: Technical capability and understanding of requirements, Price competitiveness, Quality of proposed goods/services, Past performance and reliability, and Delivery timeline and terms. 

 

Important Considerations: 

• Revive Alaska Community Services reserves the right to reject any or all proposals without explanation. 

• All proposals must comply with applicable local, state, and Federal laws and regulations.

• Vendors are encouraged to review the full solicitation document, details, and submission guidelines via email at: info@revivealaska.org.
