About this file
This is a solicitation document for the PdS (Pastoral Decision Support) Fencing Project at the USDA Agricultural Research Station in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin. The project involves designing and installing livestock fencing infrastructure across six fields totaling approximately 195 acres.
The scope of work includes removing existing wire fencing and installing new multi-strand electric fencing systems, woven (hog wire) fencing, livestock gates, and underground water lines across Fields 1-6. Specifically, the project requires approximately 49,661 linear feet of 5-strand electric fence, 19,147 linear feet of 3-strand electric fence, and 817 linear feet of woven fence. Additional components include installing approximately 7,072 linear feet of new underground water lines, removing approximately 45,171 linear feet of existing above-ground water lines and burying them, and installing multiple livestock gates (4 feet by 8 feet, post and rail style with steel construction). Design specifications include water hydrants with 4-foot burial depth and 3/4-inch female inlet threading, and a diamond-gate configuration in Field 2. Site visit attendance is mandatory for all contractors intending to submit offers, scheduled for July 23, 2026, at 9:00 AM local time with registration deadline of July 22, 2026. Questions must be submitted via email to kelly.wright@usda.gov by July 28, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time, with the solicitation name and number included in the subject line.

Figure 1. The diagram illustrates the proposed fencing layout, which incorporates two distinct fence types. The orange perimeter fence consists of five strands, three hot and two cold, installed on wooden posts. The pink interior fencing, delineating the rotational grazing paddock layout, consists of three strands, two hot and one cold, also supported by wooden posts. Additional features are also highlighted consisting of but not limited to existing fencing to be removed, new fencing to be installed, existing water sources, new water sources to be installed, livestock gate locations, existing electricity controller units, etc.
