About this file
This document is an amendment to a solicitation for the Desert Tortoise Post & Cable Fencing Replacement project. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Arizona Region seeks to replace fencing on BLM land and requires vertical steel posts at least 1.5 inches in diameter and rails at least 0.75 inches in diameter, set in concrete using a post hole digger. Vehicles can access the fence line for construction. A BLM biologist will check for active desert tortoise burrows before work begins and relocate any found to avoid harming tortoises. The contractor must follow BLM supervision and surveys when using existing vehicle roads. Work can occur on weekends when BLM staff is not present.

Amendment 0001
The purpose of this amendment is to respond to questions received. All other terms, conditions, and due dates remain the same.
Questions and Answers:
1. Will bonding be required? No.
2. Can vertical posts be driven into the ground versus concreted? No, posts need to be concreted. Posts can be set using a post hole digger and then set in concrete.
3. Can vehicles be driven along the fence construction line, within an 8 ft right of way? Yes, vehicles can be driven along the fence construction line on BLM land staying as close to the fence line as possible.
4. Will a tortoise biologist be required to oversight all of the construction? No, but the project area would need to be checked for active desert tortoise burrows prior to start of construction. If an active burrow is found within path of construction, activities would be delayed or tortoises in harm's way will be relocated to avoid lethal take of tortoises.

No, vehicles can be driven along the fence construction line on BLM land staying as close to the fence line as possible. Prior to start of construction BLM biologists would survey for active desert tortoise burrows.
8. Can we set the vertical posts using a post hole digger (6" hole) and then set them in concrete? Yes.
9. Can we work weekends? Yes. However, BLM staff does not typically work weekends. Prior to start of construction BLM biologists would survey for active desert tortoise burrows during the work week.
10. Can we assume the 3/4" vertical stay will have a top and bottom cap on it? Yes.
