At the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting held on October 5, 2005, Staff was
directed to look into a more effective type of barrier to be used at Homme/Adams Park.
After various fence options were considered, a split rail type fence was favored as the
most aesthetically pleasing and effective for the protection of the natural area at
Homme/Adams Park.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) to install fencing at Homme/Adams Park was prepared
and published in March 2006.
Staff received two responses and the results are as follows:
1. Griffiths Fence, Indio, CA
2. Allen Fence, Desert Hot Springs, CA
$12,367.00
$20,400.00
Staff recommends that a contract for the installation of the split rail fence be awarded to
Griffith Fence of Indio, CA.
