Quick Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is soliciting proposals for professional services to replace the security fence at the ZOA Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) located in Fremont, CA. This requirement involves the demolition of existing fencing and the installation of new, higher security fencing. The contract is anticipated to be a Firm Fixed Price stand-alone agreement, with an estimated value between $100,000 and $250,000. Proposals are due by March 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM Local Time.
Scope of Work
The project entails the demolition and disposal of approximately 1120 linear feet of existing 7- to 10-foot-high chain link security fencing along the East side of the Oakland ARTCC property line. Contractors will also remove existing ground wires and Perimeter Intrusion Device wires for reuse. The primary installation involves approximately 1120 linear feet of new 12-foot-high chain link security fencing, including three strands of barbed wire, and two 4-foot-wide by 7-foot-high swing gates. The demolition and replacement must be phased, with segments not exceeding 200 linear feet, to maintain perimeter security, requiring temporary security measures. All work must comply with specified ASTM standards, FAA Orders (e.g., FAA Order 1600.69D), and Federal Specifications.
