DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into contracts with Quality Fence Co., Inc. (Quality), A-Throne Co., Inc. (A-Throne), and Ace Fence Company (Ace), for as-needed permanent and temporary fencing services. These services include furnishing materials, parts and labor for as-needed installation of permanent and temporary fencing, removal of old fencing and altering or repairing existing fencing. A-Throne, a local vendor, will service the temporary fencing needs of the City, and Quality will be the primary vendor for all other fencing services. Ace will be awarded as a secondary vendor for permanent fencing services. The award represents the combined annual requirements as estimated by various City departments, including Airport, Development Services, Fire, Financial Management/Fleet Services, Gas and Oil, Harbor, Library Services, Police, Parks, Recreation and Marine, Public Works, and Water.

Without this service, City facilities and properties would be unprotected against theft and vandalism.
