How Do I Request Engineering Documentation for a Commercial Fencing Bid?

FenceTrac publishes standard product specifications, ASTM test reports, material data sheets, and installation documentation on its specifications page, available for immediate download. For project-specific engineering, stamped drawings, or custom submittal packages, the FenceTrac sales team prepares documentation tailored to the bid requirements. The process starts with a project inquiry through the sales team, and most standard documentation is available the same day.

The Short Answer

Go to the FenceTrac specifications page first. It has the product data sheets, ASTM E330 wind load test reports, ASTM E84 fire test reports, material specifications, and installation guides that cover most commercial bid documentation requirements. For anything not available on that page, including stamped engineering drawings, custom submittals, or project-specific technical data, contact the FenceTrac sales team directly with your project details.

What Is Available on the Specifications Page

The specifications page is the first stop for contractors, architects, and engineers assembling a bid package or evaluating FenceTrac for a commercial project.

Product data sheets cover the galvanized G90 steel, powder-coated frame system, including rail dimensions (3-inch horizontal, 2-inch vertical), post sizes (2.5-inch residential, 3-inch and 4-inch commercial), and panel configurations in 4-foot, 6-foot, and 8-foot heights.

Infill specifications for LuxeCore aluminum-core composite, UltraBlend PVC, aluminum boards, and cedar include board dimensions, material composition, color options, and warranty terms.

ASTM test reports from QAI Laboratories document the system’s structural and fire performance: 55.0 psf design wind load under ASTM E330, Large Missile Impact Level D under ASTM E1886, and ASTM E84-24 Class A fire rating (Flame Spread Index of 0, Smoke Developed Index of 35) for aluminum infill configurations.

These documents are available for download at no cost and cover the documentation needs of most commercial bids.

When to Contact the Sales Team

The specifications page covers standard documentation. Some commercial projects require more.

Stamped Engineering Drawings

Projects in high-wind zones, commercial jobs with CSI 32 31 00 specification requirements, and permit applications in strict jurisdictions may require stamped engineering drawings prepared by a licensed professional engineer. FenceTrac provides this as a paid add-on service. The sales team coordinates the engineering based on your project location, fence configuration, and local code requirements.

Custom Submittal Packages

General contractors on commercial projects often need a formatted submittal package that matches their project documentation standards. This may include product data organized to match the specification sections, color samples, material certifications, warranty documentation, and shop drawings showing the fence layout for the specific project.

The FenceTrac sales team can assemble a project-specific submittal package. Provide the specification section, the submittal requirements from the GC, and the project scope, and the team will prepare the package.

Project-Specific Technical Questions

If the building department, architect, or plan reviewer has questions about the FenceTrac system that the standard specifications do not address, the sales team connects you with the right technical resource. This includes fire code compliance questions, site-specific wind engineering, custom gate configurations, and non-standard installation conditions like surface-mount base plates on concrete or steel structures.

How to Structure Your Request

The more project detail you provide upfront, the faster the sales team can prepare your documentation. Include the following when you reach out.

Project address or city and state (determines wind speed, exposure category, and local code jurisdiction). Fence height and total linear footage. Infill type (LuxeCore composite, UltraBlend PVC, aluminum, or mixed). Gate locations, widths, and types (single, double, rolling, cantilever). Any specific documentation requirements from the GC, architect, or building department. The bid due date, so the team can prioritize time-sensitive requests.

For straightforward bids where the standard specifications page documentation is sufficient, you may not need to contact the sales team at all. Download what you need from the specifications page and include it in your bid package.

Design Considerations for Commercial Fence Bids

When assembling a commercial fencing bid, the documentation is only part of the package. The bid also needs to demonstrate that the proposed system meets the project’s functional requirements.

FenceTrac’s modular channel frame system gives contractors a structural advantage on commercial bids. The galvanized G90 steel, powder-coated frame with interchangeable infill options means a single manufacturer covers privacy screening, semi-privacy, fire-rated fencing, welded wire security, and enclosures across the entire project. That consistency simplifies the specification, reduces the number of vendors in the bid, and gives the GC a single warranty source for all fencing on the site.

The commercial bid strategy guide covers how to position FenceTrac’s engineering data, warranty, and modular design advantages in a competitive bid.
