Public Works Fence Installation in Chico, CA
Public works and commercial fence installation in Chico and Butte County. Bid-ready, prevailing-wage, Skilled & Trained Workforce, eligible.
Chico is the largest city in the upper Sacramento Valley, home to CSU Chico and the regional hub for Butte County public agencies, school districts, and large commercial sites. We work out of our Fortuna yard and cover Butte County for public works, commercial, and institutional fence projects.
Sites in upper Butte County and the Paradise foothills also typically need fire-wise material thinking after the 2018 Camp Fire, non-combustible perimeters and metal-transition details where any fence ties into a structure.

Chico public works fence bid process
When a Butte County general contractor, agency, or special district includes site fencing in a bid package, we want the documents as early in the bid window as possible. Send the plan sheets and bid package to our bid request form or call the Fortuna office at (707) 822-9511, and we return a clean linear-foot takeoff, a line-itemized bid sheet, CSLB license verification (Lic. 808339), our certificate of insurance, and Skilled & Trained Workforce documentation.
Most Butte County public works fence bids run on a 2-3 week timeline from receipt of drawings to bid submission. We batch Chico dispatches with adjacent Sacramento Valley work in Red Bluff, Anderson, and Redding to keep mobilization cost down on multi-site contracts.
Caltrans, utility, and right-of-way fence work in Butte County
Butte County sits in Caltrans District 3, with Highway 99, Highway 32, and the Skyway corridor up to Paradise as the primary state routes. We install Caltrans-spec right-of-way fencing on D3 highway improvement and Camp Fire-related rebuild projects, PG&E utility-yard and substation perimeters, and Butte County school district and parks-and-rec facility fencing.
Butte County, the City of Chico, California State University Chico, the Chico Unified School District, and PG&E account for most of the regional public-works fence buyer pool. Camp Fire rebuild work in Paradise and Magalia continues to drive infrastructure and facility fencing demand throughout upper Butte County.
