Public Works Fence Installation in Lakeport, CA
Public works and commercial fence installation in Lakeport and the Clear Lake basin. Bid-ready, prevailing-wage, Skilled & Trained Workforce, eligible.
Lakeport is the Lake County seat on the west shore of Clear Lake, California's largest natural freshwater lake. We work out of our Fortuna yard and cover Lake County for public works, commercial, and institutional fence projects, county and city agencies, school districts, special districts, utilities, and parks-and-rec.
Lake County's fire-severity context (Valley, Mendocino Complex, LNU Lightning Complex) makes non-combustible perimeter spec the default on sites in or adjacent to fire severity zones.

Lakeport public works fence bid process
When a Lake County general contractor, City of Lakeport, 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 Lake County public works fence bids run on a 2-3 week timeline from receipt of drawings to bid submission. We batch Lakeport dispatches with adjacent Mendocino and Sonoma County work to keep mobilization efficient on the longer trip.
Caltrans, utility, and right-of-way fence work in Lake County
Lake County sits in Caltrans District 1, with Highway 20, Highway 29, and Highway 175 as the primary state routes around the Clear Lake basin. We install Caltrans-spec right-of-way fencing on D1 highway improvement projects, PG&E utility and substation perimeters, and water-district yard and treatment-facility fencing across the county.
Lake County, the City of Lakeport, the City of Clearlake, Lake County Water District, and PG&E account for most of the regional public-works fence buyer pool. Fire-rebuild contracts from the 2015 Valley Fire, 2018 Mendocino Complex, and 2020 LNU Lightning Complex continue to factor into infrastructure and facility fencing demand.

Yes. Humboldt Fence Company is a CSLB-licensed contractor (Lic. 808339), Skilled & Trained Workforce, eligible, and a member of ABC Central California Contractors. We bid prevailing-wage public works fence work for Lake County agencies, the City of Lakeport, school districts, special districts, water and sanitation districts, and utilities.

Do you travel from Fortuna to Lake County?
Yes. Lakeport is about 180 miles south of our Fortuna yard via 101 and Highway 20. For public works and commercial scopes we batch Lake County dispatches with adjacent Sonoma and Mendocino work and the crew stays on-site through the install.
Do you handle prevailing wage and certified payroll?
Yes. Public works installations follow California prevailing-wage requirements with certified payroll and the documentation general contractors expect from a bid-list-ready fence sub.
Do you specify fire-wise materials for Lake County sites?
Yes. Lake County has burned through multiple major fire events (Valley, Mendocino Complex, LNU Lightning Complex). For sites in high or very-high fire severity zones we default to non-combustible perimeters (chain link, ornamental iron) and metal-transition details where a fence ties into a structure.
