GRU Administration Building Security Fence

The Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) is seeking a premier security fencing contractor to install a comprehensive perimeter defense system at the Administrative Building. The project aims to create a robust, aesthetically professional, and technologically integrated physical barrier that deters unauthorized entry, ensures operational continuity, manages access, and protects assets. The selected vendor will provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the installation of the perimeter security system, including fencing infrastructure, custom gates, access control hardware, and system integration. The project has a hard deadline of July 31, 2026, and the total site work, installation, and integration must last no more than six weeks from the date of commencement. • The project requires the installation of approximately 6-foot high black aluminum industrial-grade fencing around the designated property perimeter. • The vendor must design and install four custom-built gates tailored to provide secure vehicular access to the employee parking lots and four pedestrian gates for sidewalk access. • The access control hardware must include two new high-cycle barrier arms and a commercial-grade card reader pedestal at the primary drive-through entrance. • The system integration must ensure that all automated gates, barrier arms, and readers are fully compatible and integrated with the existing Lenel OnGuard access control platform. • The vendor must ensure that all electrical and data connections for the barrier arms and readers meet manufacturer specifications for seamless communication with the Lenel head-end.
