It is requested that Council authorize the execution of an annual contract with

fencing throughout Columbus-Muscogee County on an as-needed basis. The

The City frequently finds, throughout each year, the need to install or replace
fencing surrounding government facilities, recreational fields, parking lots,
etc. Based on past experience, the City replaces roughly several hundred
linear feet of fencing per year. However, this quantity is only an estimate;
the City may require more or less quantities during each year of the contract
term.
The contractors shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment and miscellaneous
items required for the complete installation or replacement of fencing, which
includes but is not limited to: chain link, wrought iron, post and rail,
aluminum, and vinyl fence systems. For each project, the fencing shall be
installed in the location and grade that will be shown on the drawings or as
directed by the City, in complete conformity with the manufacturers? written
recommendations. The Engineering Department, or other requesting department,
will provide the exact scope of work and specifications for each project, as
the need arises.
The contract term shall be for two (2) years with the option to renew for three
(3) additional twelve-month periods. Contract renewal will be contingent upon
the mutual agreement of the City and the Contractor.
On July 9, 2014, request for proposals were mailed to thirty-seven vendors and

Registry. The RFP has been advertised, opened and evaluated. Four (4)
proposals were received on August 8, 2014 from the following offerors:
Denny Enterprises (Fortson, GA)
Nolin Fence and Deck (Phenix City, AL)
Young Fencing Company (Columbus, GA)
?Georgia Fence Wholesale (Columbus, GA)
?Georgia Fence Wholesale did not provide the required Transmittal Letter,
Qualifications/Experience and business license information. The omitted
Qualifications/Experience information, which was necessary for the evaluation
process, consisted of a demonstration of the vendor?s access to adequate
equipment to provide the services, a demonstration of the vendor?s history of
completing projects on time and within budget, an indication of whether the
vendor has been involved in litigation against owners or engineering firms, and
detailed information to demonstrate the vendor has experienced personnel to
assign to future fencing projects.
In accordance with the RFP specifications, ?Firms shall be notified, in
writing, and shall have two (2) business days, after notification, to submit
the omitted information?: However, after numerous emails and calls to the
vendor, as of September 19, 2014 the Purchasing Division still had not received
the required information. Therefore, the vendor?s proposal was deemed
non-responsive. The Purchasing Division informed the owner, via email, that if
the omitted information was not received within two (2) days, the vendor?s
proposal would be deemed non-responsive.
The proposals were reviewed by the Evaluation Committee members, which
consisted of representatives from the Engineering Department, Public Works
Department and Parks & Recreation Department. Additional representatives from
the Parks & Recreation Department and Public Works Department served as
non-voting, advisory members of the committee.
The City?s Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-110, Competitive Sealed Proposals
for the procurement of Equipment, Supplies and Professional Services, governs
the RFP Process. During the process of an RFP there is no formal opening, due
to the possibility of negotiated components of the proposal. In the event
