Ideal Fencing Corp — A RoadGuard Company

Municipal Fencing, Guardrail & Safety Infrastructure for Cities, Counties, and Public Works

Municipal public works budgets are tight, procurement processes are deliberate, and every dollar spent is accountable to taxpayers. When your city or county needs guardrail replaced on a collector road, fencing around a water treatment plant, or temporary barriers for a street re...

Challenges We Solve

  • Contractors who submit the lowest bid then inflate costs with change orders
  • Incomplete bid packages that delay the procurement process
  • Fencing that does not meet ADA or public safety code requirements
  • Missing or incomplete documentation for grant reimbursement
  • Lack of prevailing wage compliance creating audit liability
  • Emergency repair response that takes weeks instead of days
  • Guardrail and signage deferred maintenance due to budget constraints
  • Fencing installations that obstruct ADA-compliant pedestrian access

What Municipal Clients Get From Us

**Competitive Public Bid Pricing**: We bid municipal projects through your standard procurement process — sealed bids, RFPs, cooperative purchasing contracts, and unit-price schedules. Our estimators understand municipal bid formats and provide responsive, complete bid packages. We do not chase scope gaps or submit unbalanced bids that inflate change order revenue later.

**Budget Compliance and Transparent Invoicing**: Municipal projects are funded by taxpayer dollars, grants, and bonds — every expense must be documented and defensible. Our invoicing includes detailed breakdowns per bid item with quantities, unit prices, and supporting documentation. No lump-sum line items that obscure what was actually installed. Progress invoices match the work completed, verified by your inspector.

**ADA and Public Safety Compliance**: Municipal fencing and barriers must comply with ADA accessibility requirements, local building codes, and public safety standards. We design installations that maintain ADA-compliant pedestrian access, proper sight lines at intersections, and adequate clear zones on public roadways. Our proposals identify code compliance requirements proactively — not as a punchlist item discovered during final inspection.

**Prevailing Wage and Grant Compliance**: Municipal projects frequently involve prevailing wage requirements, Davis-Bacon compliance on federally funded work, and grant-specific reporting obligations. We maintain certified payroll systems, submit weekly reports, and compile the documentation packages that federal and state grant programs require for reimbursement.

Municipal Services

**Guardrail and Road Safety**: City and county roads require the same guardrail, bridge rail, and impact attenuator standards as state highways — but municipal maintenance budgets often defer these improvements until damage or accidents force action. We install and repair W-beam guardrail, box beam guardrail, bridge rail, and impact attenuators on municipal roads, bridges, and intersections per AASHTO and MUTCD standards.

**Park and Recreation Fencing**: Athletic field fencing, playground enclosures, park perimeters, trail fencing, and facility security for municipal parks and recreation departments. Chain link and ornamental options in heights and configurations that balance security, aesthetics, and public access.

**Public Works Infrastructure Fencing**: Water treatment plants, pump stations, maintenance yards, fleet facilities, and utility infrastructure require security fencing and access control. We install perimeter fencing and automated gates that protect public assets while providing authorized personnel with efficient access.

**School District Fencing**: School perimeter fencing, athletic field enclosures, playground barriers, and access control gates for K-12 school districts. Security-enhanced designs that balance student safety with the open, welcoming character that schools require.

**Traffic Signage and Structures**: Sign post replacement, regulatory sign installation, and maintenance signage programs for municipal traffic engineering departments. We install breakaway posts, multi-post guide signs, and sign structures per MUTCD standards and local sign code requirements.

**Temporary Barriers and Work Zone Protection**: Street reconstruction, utility relocation, and municipal construction projects require temporary fencing and barriers. We supply, place, and manage temporary barriers throughout the project lifecycle, repositioning as work phases progress.

Cooperative Purchasing

We participate in cooperative purchasing programs including Sourcewell (formerly NJPA), NASPO ValuePoint, and state-specific cooperative contracts that allow municipalities to purchase fencing and guardrail services without conducting an independent competitive bid process. Check with us to see if a cooperative contract is available in your state.

Warranty and Long-Term Support

Municipal installations must last. We provide a 2-year workmanship warranty on all installations with material warranties per manufacturer terms. For municipalities that want extended support, we offer annual maintenance agreements covering inspection, repair, and priority emergency response. Our warranty and maintenance commitments are backed by our employee-ownership culture — 100% of our employees are owners, and we are not a contractor that will disappear after the warranty period.

Budget Planning Support

We provide budgetary estimates for capital improvement planning, helping municipal public works departments forecast fencing, guardrail, and barrier costs for CIP budgets and grant applications. These estimates are provided at no charge and include unit costs, anticipated quantities, and project timeline projections.
