This procurement is a Total Small Business set aside. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Oregon State Office intends to issue a Request For Quote (RFQ) for a firm fixed price construction purchase order for BLM Lakeview District’s Cougar Peak Wildfire Poker Fence Repair.

The Lakeview District requires approximately 8.1 miles of fence removal, maintenance, reconstruction, and new construction of fences related to the Cougar Peak Wildfire. Approximately, ~7.9 miles of primarily 4-strand barbed wire fence that burned in the Cougar Peak Wildfire will need to be removed and replaced. Most fences contain metal t-posts that can remain or be reused. Much of the fence burned contained wooden structures that need replacement. Many rock jacks that are still standing can be re-utilized. One 50-foot section of unburned fence needs repaired, and wires may remain. Disposal of removed fence materials will be at the contractor’s expense. Approximately 0.5 miles of new construction is needed along a main road and will need to be connected to a cattle guard on each side of the fence.

Fence replacement will be 4-strand barbed wire with gap fences using 3-strand barbed wire. It will have steel appurtenances at corners and gate locations unless existing rock jacks can be reused at these locations. The bottom wire will be smooth bottom, 16.5-foot T-post spacing with 1 stay between each post see Table 1 and 2 below for GIS length of fence and number of structures needed to be constructed. Stays will not be connected to the bottom wire only the top two or three wires will have stays on barbed wires. The contractor will furnish all materials and labor to complete the project.
