Our unit has not procured these enmasse before, however Wind Cave NP has.
From this vendor: https://www.cowcountry.net/ They will require a fabricating spec for you to procure, that said, we do not recommend, condone or endorse vendors. Note that other metal vendors may be able to furnish this supply item.
Possibly a metal fabrication shop in Dickinson ND. We are not advocating for a specific vendor, however strongly encourage an offeror to locate the best option for supplying the needed material per the specification and the lowest price according the construction schedule.
8 Can the wire spec be changed from a 2 roll 49" to a single roll height
That can be considered; however it is encouraged to think about managing the product installation as well as the terrain

BEKAERT or APPROVED EQUAL. The contractor shall furnish a wire that meets or exceeds that requirement. Length of roll was estimated to maximize efficient use of a quantity of h-brace placement. If the contractor proposes the use of equal brands the Government will review and determine suitability for the installation of “or Approved equal” products. The government encourages the offerors to consider the above factors in developing their proposals, ensuring that if proposed rolls of shorter length wire meet all other salient requirements the offeror carefully consider the cost of their added additional H-Brace materials as an effect on the outcome of the project

The new fence line location can be mowed, and the government intends for the contractor to trim or cut trees in way of construction possibly by masticator.

The NPS will consider payment by acceptance installments per the contracting officer's approval.
