About this file
This document contains Questions and Answers related to the Elk Exclosure Hidden Fence Project solicitation (127EAX24Q0029) issued by the USDA Forest Service, Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Black Mesa Ranger District. The solicitation is for the reconstruction of a hidden fence in an elk exclosure.
Key details include: The project involves constructing one mile of fence, with the north fence to be built in the base year and the south fence in the optional year. Contractors can utilize used 2 3/8" drill stem for braces and are expected to build an H-brace every 165 feet to assist with future repairs. The Forest Service estimates 30% of the t-posts will require rock drilling. Water is available at the ranger district but not on site. Topographical maps and additional vicinity maps have been provided. Contractors are allowed to travel along/around the fence line for equipment, but trucks/trailers must remain on forest service roads. Camping on site is permitted for up to 14 days, with a permit required for longer stays.

127EAX24Q0029 - Elk Exclosure Hidden Fence Project QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS – Amendment 1
1. Is there only one structure for the 1 mile or multiple structures? SOW doesn’t state multiple structures, but the maps imply more than one?
Each year includes only one fence. The north fence will be for the base year and the south fence will be for the optional year.
2. Can we utilize used 2 3/8” drill stem for braces?
Yes.
3. Does SOW say we are to build a brace every 165’?
Yes. There should be an H brace built at the mid-point of each roll of wire to assist with future repairs.
4. How much rock drill should we anticipate?
Budget for rock at all corner posts and H braces. As for driving t-posts I would budget for at least 30%. These are amateur guesses based on visible bed rock at the site and other fences in the area utilizing rock piled bracing at the base of t-posts.
5. Is there local water available?
Water is available at the ranger district In Overgaard. There is no water available at the fence site.
6. Can we get a topographical map of within the fence project area, or elevation range within the project?
Yes. I’ve attached a wider vicinity map with topography. The site is at an elevation of 7500 and is flat across the work area.
7. Is travel for machinery permitted along the fence line, it states contractor can only use established forest roads but does that include fence building equipment such as skid steers?
Travel is allowed along/around the fence line for the fence building equipment. Trucks and trailers must remain on forest service road.
8. Is camping on site allowed?
Camping on site is allowed. If camping will last longer than 14 days a forest service permit will need to be requested and issued for an exemption to our 14-day stay limit.
9. Are there any other vicinity maps that show better proximity from a near town or show the names of the ponds/lakes shown on the map in order to navigate to the project site?
Additional maps have been attached.
10. Are the black outlined fences that seem to be outside the project area relevant to the project?
or are they just noted on the map?
They are additional exclosure fences and simply noted on the map.
