STATEMENT OF WORK

Material Supply

Ellicott Slough Fencing Project

1. General:

1.1 Ellicott Slough National Wildlife Refuge is seeking a qualified supplier to provide all materials necessary for rebuilding a perimeter fence on both sides of an easement road as well as multiple vehicle access points. Proposed fence in total is 6,800’ in length 3,400’ on each side of the road. Solid four rail pipe fence w/top rail will be 2,000’ of the length of fence, with six locations for gates. H-braces needed at every change of direction. There are 20 change of direction spots. H-bracing needed at every gate on both sides of each gate. Transitioning to a four wire, wildlife friendly fence using T-posts and smooth rolled wire. T-post spacing will be 8’ on center at each post.

The fencing system shall include every component required by the manufacturer to ensure a complete, code-compliant, and warrantable installation. Including, but not limited to, the primary fencing product, 2-7/8’’ drill pipe fence posts, weld on coaping for H-braces, weld on rounded metal caps, weld on eye loops for 1’’ sucker rod, weld on eye loops to attach smooth wire, 12.5 gauge smooth rolled wire, T-posts 6’-5’’ tall heavy duty, wire ties to attach smooth wire, and any additional components specified by the fencing manufacturer.

In addition to the base requirement, the request for quote includes optional items for the supply of fencing materials for perimeter fencing on both sides of an easement road as well as multiple vehicle access points. These additional access points must be of the same product using the same system and materials as the entirety of the fence system to maintain consistency across the refuge.

The optional items may be exercised depending on available funding and project priorities.

2. Scope:

2.1 CLIN 0001 – Base Bid – The submitted quote for the replacement of the metal fencing at Ellicott Slough will be evaluated based on specific requirements. All metal fencing materials must match the example shown in picture in style, type, and color. Materials must be new, unused, and undamaged. The quote must clearly specify the cost and quantity of all materials, including any fasteners, rolled wire, fence posts, T-posts, post caps, saddle caps, pipe clips or related components.

It must also include all delivery charges, handling fees, and any other associated costs. Materials are to be delivered onsite, at or near the designated delivery site.

2.2 CLIN 0002 – Optional Work (Subject to Availability of Funds) This CLIN shall cover up to a maximum of 2,000’ of four-rail pipe fence with top rail and 2,000’ of four-wire T-post fence, including all associated hardware and components specified in Section 3. The Government may award all or part of this CLIN as funding permits.

Up to a maximum of 2,000’ four-rail pipe fence with top rail and 2,000’ four-wire T-post fence, with all associated hardware/components.

3. Material: The metal pipe and t-post fencing material and all associated components provided for this project must be suitable for the environmental conditions typical of the conditions at Ellicott Slough NWR, Santa Cruz County, California. This includes extreme temperature variations—hot, dry summers and cold winters—along with exposure to high winds.

• The main metal pipe posts and metal pipe bracing of fencing and swing gate system must match the existing style and color of current metal fencing at Ellicott Slough National Wildlife Refuge to ensure visual consistency. No colors/paint will be used as this will be left to naturally rust.

• Main metal pipe fence posts will have a max spacing of 10 feet on center per post, pipe top rail will be same size as main pipe fence posts, H-braces, will be built 8 feet on center, using all same size pipe and change of direction will be built with three posts and two supporting cross bracing spaced at eight feet on center, support post shall be heavy wall at ¼’’ or greater equivalent product that meets well drill pipe standards or exceeds the same performance specifications. Post size of 2-7/8’’diameter x 8’ feet in length bundled in quantity of 25 per bundle.

• Top rail will be minimum 20’ to 30’ in length at ¼’’ or greater equivalent product that meets well drill pipe standards or exceeds the same performance specifications with weld on sleeves to create a continuous smooth look. Bundles not to exceed 25 per bundle.

• T-posts shall be heavy grade commercial material, 6’-6’’ in length.

• Rolled smooth wire of 12.5-gauge high tensile rolled wire at 1,350’ in length per roll minimum.

• Wire clamps to attach 12.5-gauge wire firmly to T-posts.

• Post caps, weld on metal caps.

• Metal weld on pipe clip for rolled wire.

• Metal weld on pipe clip sized for 1’’ solid sucker rod.

• Metal weld on saddle cap for top rail and H-braces.

• Metal weld on saddle cap for H-braces

• Metal weld on sleeves for top rail.

4. Deliverables and/or Delivery Schedule:

4.1 All material shall be delivered in as few shipments as possible with the final delivery no later than Jan 5th 2026 during normal business hours Monday thru Thursday 7:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
