Description

GRU is soliciting bids for the installation of approximately 600 linear feet of commercial-grade, black vinyl-coated chain link fencing along the north property line of the Serenola substation. The project includes the installation of a 14-foot wide double gate system at the north corner of the property, located within the utility right-of-way, connecting to existing fencing behind an adjacent apartment complex. The primary goal is to enhance site security with a durable, aesthetically pleasing fencing system that minimizes industrial impact. This security enhancement is driven by the need to secure critical utility infrastructure against unauthorized access, trespassing, and transient activity, which pose liabilities and security risks. The installation aims to mitigate vulnerabilities, ensure operational integrity, and comply with safety standards.
