SPECIFIC TASKS:

Scope of Work Limits:

The Fish Lake National Forest Service is soliciting bids to construct approximately 35,425 feet (~6.70 miles) of four-strand barbed wire fence with cedar post bracing. This bid is to provide labor and materials to construct the identified fencing projects as specified. This project is located on Monroe Mountain in Piute and Sevier County in Central Utah, accessed off State Route 62. The fencing project will take place in the Koosharem/Manning Allotments. This project will take place in previously burned areas, and within the footprint of an existing fence line, existing trees within a trees length away will need to be cut as to prevent trees from falling on newly constructed fence. The rangeland fence will be constructed of barbwire, using a cedar post between every 4th steel post, including the installation of wire gates, double H-braces and corner braces. See attached fence plan map, drawings and descriptions below for more details. Bidder must have experience in constructing rangeland barbed wire fences and building wood H-braces. The successful bidder (contractor) will construct the fence as specified below and will provide all labor and equipment (tractor, post hole digger, pliers, hammers, wire stretchers, chain saw, UTV/ATV, etc.) necessary to complete the fence as specified.

General Fence Specifications Four Strand Barbwire Fence Project.

Posts

· All cedar posts, steel t-posts, etc. shall be set plumb (vertical), in complete straight alignment with fence lines, dirt packed solid around posts and be sturdy.

· Cedar posts must be buried a minimum of 30” inches below ground level and dirt packed and tamped hard around the posts. The tops of cedar posts shall be cut off so they are 46-48” inches above ground level.

· Steel T-posts shall be pounded into the ground a minimum of 18” with the spade completely buried. Steel T-posts shall be uniform height through-out the fence (i.e., pound all steel T-posts in to the same height).

· Cedar and steel T-post spacing shall be a maximum of 16’6” feet. They may be closer depending on ground conditions, terrain, corner braces, gates, etc. In no locations shall there be posts spaced more than 16’6” feet apart.

· An in-line cedar post shall be placed after every 4th steel T-posts in fence sections specified for steel posts (4 steel post, one cedar post, and so on). In no section shall there be more than 4 steel posts without a cedar post being placed. Cedar and steel posts shall be evenly spaced between H-braces, gates or other bracing.

· Additional single cedar posts are required to be installed where the ground slopes or dips up or down, at side gullies, or where wet soils occur.

· Between all cedar and steel posts spaced 12 – 16’6” feet apart two cedar or treated wood stays (dancers) shall be installed. If pole spacing is less than 12 feet, only one cedar wood stay should be installed. Wood stays (dancers) are 2 inch diameter cedar poles, 44-46” long and are tightly wired to each barbed-wire strand and the bottom of the wood stay touches the ground. The tie wire is wrapped once around the barbed wire then around the posts and twisted tight.

Wire

· Barbed wire spacing shall be measured perpendicular to the ground and wire spacing will be 16 inches, 8 inches, 8 inches, and 10 inches from the ground up. The top height of all barbed wire shall not be higher than 42 inches above the ground.

· Barbed wire must be stretched tight with similar tension on all 4 strands. The barbed wire shall not sag or be loose in any areas. Do not twist or bend barbed wire between posts to tighten strands.

· Barbed wire shall be stapled to wood posts. Staples shall not be driven in tight such that they bend or pinch the barbed wire.

· 2 wooden fence stays (dancers) shall be placed between each fence post spaced more than 12 feet apart. One wooden stay if posts are less than 12 feet apart. Wood stays (dancers) are 2 inch diameter cedar poles, 44-46” long and are tightly wired to each barbed-wire strand and the bottom of the wood stay touches the ground. The tie wire is wrapped once around the barbed wire then around the posts and twisted tight.

Braces

· There will be a double H-brace every quarter mile used to tie off barbwire and to allow for fencing to be tight.

· Double H-braces: These braces consist of 3 cedar posts spaced ~6’ apart with 2 wood or cedar post horizontal braces placed between notched posts at 42” maximum height with an X-style twisted tight, barbwire tie between two wood posts. The X wire tie shall be crossed above and below the horizontal brace such that the wire holds the horizontal brace in place when twisted tight. Horizontal braces shall be nailed to posts. H-braces shall be vertical, sturdy, dirt packed solid and in straight alignment with the fence on each side.

· All corners will have 2 double H-braces (total of 4 braces), and will only need 5 cedar posts.

Gates

· A total of Seven (7) 12’ foot wide wire gates shall be constructed coming off a cattle guard, in a swell or a corner brace, gates will be made of smooth wire and consist of two “H” braces on both sides of the gate. Gate locations will be flagged, or marked with survey lathe as per the locations to be installed. Gate locations will also be identified on the Contract Map for this project.

· A total of two (2) 12’ foot wide metal gates shall be constructed coming off a cattle guard, or a corner brace, gates will be provided by the contractor and will consist of two “H” braces on both sides of the gate. Gate locations will be flagged, or marked with survey lathe as per the locations to be installed. Gate locations will also be identified on the Contract Map for this project.

All completed fences shall be in straight alignment, taut and solid at all points.

Additional Fence Specifications, Details, Requirements and Information

The fence is being constructed on Forest Service property and should be respected and taken care of. Trimmed fence posts and pieces should be either removed or stacked in several piles along the fence line. Do not leave cut wood pieces scattered along the fence line. Clean-up and smooth all dirt piles.

Fence Line is Marked The fence line, corners, braces, gates and other fence features will be clearly marked with flagging or surveying lathe if possible. Fence line will be rebuild on existing line unless other wised determined by the Fishlake Forest Service. The use of GPS and or Avenza Mapping may also be required if flagging of the fence line has not occurred. This will be up to the contractor to provide the GPS and or Avenza Mapping devices.

Fence Materials The Selected Contractor will provide all fence material necessary to construct the fence as specified:

· Cedar fence posts will be a minimum 3” diameter at top and a maximum of 12” diameter at the bottom and 7’- 8’ long.

· Treated wood posts or a 4-5 inch minimum on horizontal cedar posts used for H-braces.

· Standard steel T-posts, 6 foot long, 1.33 lbs/ft ASTM posts will be used.

· Wire is class 1, 2-point barbed wire. No high tensile wire will be used.

· Smooth tie wire will be used on gates; barbwire will be used on all braces.

· Wood Cedar or Treated Wood Stays (dancers) are 2-3 inch diameter cedar stays, 44-46” long. No steel twist stays will be used.

· Staples are 1 ½ inches.

Clearing of Fence Line Most of the fence line occurs in rangeland type setting. The contractor will do clearing of the fence line and or his employees hired to build the fence. This project will take place in previously burned areas, and within existing established fence lines; existing trees within a trees length away will need to be cut and removed to prevent trees from falling on the newly constructed fence. In addition, stump height will not exceed 12” above ground level on the uphill side.

The Project Manager may issue a separate delayed notice-to-proceed for any reason including adverse soil, vegetative, climatologic or other environmental conditions.

CONTRACT PERFORMANCE:

The Contractor shall begin work within seven (7) calendar days from the effective date of the notice to proceed. The Contractor shall continue performance of the work under the contract without delay or interruption except by causes beyond his control identified in the Delays clause. While an extended performance window is provided in this statement of work, this extended window is designed for contractor’s who may have multiple contracts to complete for the State of Utah at the same time as this contract. The extended performance window is not to be construed as a full performance time window just for this project unless approved in advance in writing by the State’s project manager. Once the contractor is on site working, the contractor shall work diligently and complete all work within the project performance time in the Contract Time clause below.

It is the contractor’s sole responsibility to complete contract performance regardless of contractor’s current work load, including other state contracts. If necessary, the contractor will be expected to take whatever means are necessary to ensure timely contract performance. At the discretion of the contractor, this may include sub-contracting, additional equipment/manpower and/or any other necessary action. Any necessary action taken by the contractor to ensure timely completion shall be at no additional expense to the State of Utah beyond the original contract price.

CONTRACT TIME:

Performance window: August 1st, 2026 – June 30th, 2027

INSPECTION:

Surveillance Plan: The Government will inspect completed acres for and provide recommendations to improve work quality while work is in progress. The Contractor is responsible for providing quality control to assure that work complies with the contract specifications.

Final Inspection:

1. Location: Meeting shall be held at the project sites, or as determined by the Project Manager.

2. Notification: The Contractor shall notify the Project Manager at least three (3) working days before completing date so the Government can schedule the final inspection.

3. Deficiencies: The Contractor shall correct deficiencies and project areas will be re-inspected by the Project Manager.

ACCEPTANCE:

Based on inspection results, if the quality level falls below contract specifications, the Project Manager will immediately notify the Contractor in writing and instruct the Contractor to improve the quality of work. If the quality of the work is not raised to an acceptable level after written notification, the Project Manager may issue a suspend work order to resolve the problem, during which time contract time will continue to run.

If untreated or unsatisfactorily treated areas are the primary reason for unsatisfactory work, the Contractor shall rework acres designated by the Government until satisfactory work quality is obtained.

PAYMENT:

One lump-sum final payment will be made for the actual number of liner footage completed following a final inspection of the completed project, and consistent with the payment clause in the State’s standard terms and conditions. Normally, requests for partial payments will not be considered. However, if a partial payment request is considered, approval of said request shall be at the total discretion of the State. Contractor must get a partial payment request approved in writing prior to submitting an invoice for partial payment. Partial payment invoices received without prior approval will be returned to the contractor as not proper for payment.

WINTER STOPPAGE:

At the sole discretion of the State/DWR this contract may be stopped at any time due to frozen soil or other winter conditions. Once the contract work is stopped for winter, the state may pay the contractor and cancel the remaining portion of the contract, or issue a resumption of work order when spring weather permits. Contractor must proceed diligently with all work as weather permits until a stop-work order is issued.

CHANGE ORDERS:

Minor Change Order. If the State determines that a change in the Scope of Work is necessary, they may modify liner feet totals or parcel configuration by up to 10% of the originally proposed Project Area by providing written notice to the Contractor (“Minor Change Order”). Issuance of a Minor Change Order does not excuse the Contractor from their obligation to perform the work under their original per-liner foot bid price, nor does it excuse the State from paying Contractor for work completed to project specifications. Changes in liner footage or parcel configuration will add or exchange work areas with characteristics similar to those in the original Project Area. When possible, a Minor Change Order should be implemented so as to leave a consolidated and contiguous project area having similar access to that originally described in the Scope of Work.

Major Change Order. If the State determines that a change in the Scope of Work is necessary, and that change does not qualify as a Minor Change Order, the State and the Contractor may negotiate a Major Change Order as an amendment to the original contract. Examples of Major Change Orders include: (1) a reduction or cancellation of liner footage that is greater than 10% of the original Project Area or (2) a change in the Project Area such that the new project characteristics are not comparable to those described in the original Scope of Work. Major Change Orders may authorize an increase in the unit price of per-acre bid submitted by the Contractor, payment of part or all of equipment mobilization costs incurred by the Contractor, or a combination of both. Any Major Change Order shall be supported by documentation supporting the equitable adjustment in contract terms and is subject to approval by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing.

Change Order Limitations. The sum of all payments made under one or more Change Orders on a single contract may not exceed the liability cap for the contract, calculated by identifying the per-foot bid price, and multiplying that figure by 10% of the footage within the Project Area that remains unfinished. For example, the maximum payment authorized under a Major Change Order would be calculated as follows:

$5.00 per foot bid price x (10% of 500 feet left untreated) = $250 Maximum

Nothing in this Section relieves the Contractor from their obligation to perform as described in Section 1, unless the State determines that a change order is appropriate. Under no circumstances may a Change Order exceed the total approved contract price. In most cases, the actual Change Order amount will be substantially less than the maximum liability cap for the contract. Nothing herein shall be construed as eliminating or modifying a Contractor’s obligation to mitigate damages they may incur due to the circumstances necessitating a Major Change Order, or the State’s right to terminate an Agreement in lieu of issuing a Change Order.
