This is a Scope of Work document for the State of Utah Division of Purchasing and Division of Wildlife Resources for the Five Mile Wildlife Fencing Project (IFB JH26-42). The project involves construction of approximately 16,900 feet (3.2 miles) of wildlife-friendly fencing consisting of three strands of barbed wire with lodgepole rail top, along with the procurement and installation of 11 steel gates (five 8-foot gates, one 12-foot gate, and five 10-foot gates) at specified locations east of Panguitch Lake, approximately 8 miles southwest of Panguitch, Utah. While a mandatory site visit is not required, bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project site to familiarize themselves with general and local conditions that may affect contract performance; failure to inspect shall not constitute grounds for claims after award. The project timeline requires a start date of April 15, 2026, with completion required by June 1, 2026, and vendors must guarantee pricing through project completion. Award is anticipated to be made as a single contract to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

The solicitation requires vendors to provide pricing that remains fixed throughout the project duration, with no identified set-asides, incumbent contractors, or specific funding source documentation detailed in this Scope of Work excerpt. All specifications for materials, construction methods, and gate installation requirements are detailed in Attachment B of the project documentation, which governs the technical requirements for bid evaluation and contract performance.
