Description
The County of Inyo is contracting the design, demolition, and construction of a new security perimeter fence and automated gate system at the Independence County Jail. The scope includes removal of existing 5‑ft‑6‑in chain‑link fence, installation of an 8‑ft high, three‑strand barbed‑wire‑topped chain‑link fence with concertina wire at designated points, and the provision of two motorized gates—a primary cantilever rolling gate with keypad access near the solar parking area and a single‑swing detention‑grade pedestrian gate. All work must comply with the 2022 California Building Code, ASCE‑7 wind loads (110 mph, Exposure C), and relevant ASTM, ACI, and UL standards. The contractor must supply all labor, materials, equipment, permits, and insurance (minimum $5 M CGL, $5 M auto, $1 M employer’s liability, builder’s risk, professional liability, pollution coverage) and provide performance and payment bonds equal to the contract price (plus a 10 % maintenance bond if warranty exceeds one year). The contract becomes effective 15 April 2026, with work to begin within 14 days of a Notice to Proceed and to be completed per the Special Provisions (date not disclosed). The County retains rights to terminate for funding loss and requires Board of Supervisors approval before the agreement is binding.
