NOTICE INVITING INFORMAL BIDS

Notice is hereby given that the governing board (“Board”) of the Stockton Unified School

District (“District”) will receive sealed bids for the following project, Edna Gleason Park

Fencing Improvement Project, Bid No. IFB 26-12 (“Project” or “Contract”). The goal of

this project scope is to upgrade the 4-foot ornamental iron fence at Edna Gleason Park (City

of Stockton) at its shared boundary with Spanos Elementary School (Stockton Unified

School District) to 6-foot “Privacy Plus” galvanized chain link featuring integrated privacy

slats. This solution provides the necessary height for school security while offering a visual

screen between park activities and the shared play area.

1. Project Overview

The project involves replacing 540 lineal feet of 4-foot ornamental iron with 6-foot high, 9-

gauge, Privacy Plus”, galvanized chain link fencing. Replacing approximately 60 lineal feet of

6’ black coated chain-link fabric with galvanized fabric. Replacing approximately 140 lineal

feet of 4’ tall Ornamental Iron fence with 6’ high galvanized chain-link fence. The installation

occurs within an existing 13-inch wide concrete mow strip, requiring precision cutting and

structural patching while ensuring the safety of students and the protection of park

irrigation systems.

2. Material Specifications

• See SUSD Fencing Spec (Section 32 31 13 – Chain link Fencing and Gates).

• Fabric: 9-gauge galvanized steel chain link (2-inch mesh).

• Framework: All posts and rails to be Schedule 40 galvanized steel.

• Privacy: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) privacy slats (to be inserted into the

galvanized mesh) providing 90% visibility blockage.

• Restoration: Any turf damaged by equipment, concrete slurry, or foot traffic must

be restored to original condition via soil aeration and sod replacement (matching

existing turf species).

• Security: Inclusion of a bottom tension wire (7-gauge) to prevent the fabric from

being pulled up or out.

3. Site Protection & Infrastructure

• Irrigation/Valve Boxes: The contractor must physically mark and protect all

irrigation valve boxes and lines. Any damage to the City of

Stockton or SUSD irrigation systems during the concrete cutting or post-hole boring

phase must be repaired immediately at the contractor’s expense.

• Mow Strip Integrity: The 13-inch wide concrete strip serves as a primary walkway.

New footings must be core-drilled or saw-cut. All patches must be finished flush with

the existing slab to eliminate trip hazards for Spanos Elementary students.

4. Safety & Coordination (Contractor Requirements)

Stockton employees to finalize access points and work hours.

5. Scope of Work

1. Preparation: Locate all underground utilities and irrigation valves. Install temporary

fencing.

2. Demolition: Remove 4-foot iron fencing. Saw-cut/core-drill the 13-inch mow strip at

10-foot intervals.

3. Structural: Drill 36-inch deep holes for new galvanized posts. Set posts in 3,000 PSI

concrete and patch the mow strip to match the existing broom finish.

4. Assembly: Install top rails, 9-gauge galvanized fabric, and privacy slats.

5. Modification: to a section of existing ornamental iron fence.

6. Access: Install (1) 4-foot pedestrian gates with SUSD-approved hardware in existing

gate location and (1) 12-foot double-drive gate for maintenance in existing location.

6. Success Criteria

• New 6-foot galvanized fence is perfectly plumb and provides full privacy screening

from the park and adjacent apartment buildings.

• The 13-inch mow strip remains structurally sound with flush, professional concrete

patches.

• Continuous security was maintained for Spanos Elementary throughout the project

duration.

• Irrigation system and valve boxes remain undamaged.

• Restoration: Turf must be restored to original condition.

• Work is completed on or before July 25, 2026.

nonresponsive and the bid will not be considered.

14. All of the listed subcontractors are required to be registered as a public works

contractor with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to the Labor Code.

An inadvertent error in listing the California contractor license number on the

grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive if the correct contractor’s

license number is submitted to the District within 24 hours after the bid

opening and the corrected number corresponds with the submitted name and

location for that subcontractor.
