HILL ALLOTMENTS FENCE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT

Williams Ranger District Kaibab National Forest

STATEMENT OF WORK

I. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

The following project, the Elk Springs, Government Mountain, Government Prairie and Spitz Hill Allotments Fence Reconstruction Project, is to be awarded as a stand alone contract.

Weather conditions can change quickly, particularly during the summer monsoon period of July, August and September, powerful thunderstorms can bring sudden heavy rain that can lead to flash flooding of canyons and washes. Multiple ground strikes from lightning are common. Snowfall is likely during the winter months; therefore, much of the work for this contract can be accomplished in summer, fall, and spring.

There is the potential for contractors to have to work around seasonal area restrictions for fire events or for threatened, endangered, and sensitive species, such as the Mexican Spotted Owl

FENCE CONSTRUCTION LOCATION (see attached maps)

The project is located North of the town of Parks, AZ. The total length of the fences to be constructed is approximately 47,626 feet or 9.02 mapped miles. Note: Fence lengths are based on measuring fences on a map and do not account for elevation changes. Contract awards will be based on map mileage only.

Furnish all labor, equipment (including all necessary personnel protection equipment), supplies (as specified), transportation, and supervision necessary to perform all work for removing and reconstructing approximately 47,626 feet or 9.02 miles of barbed wire fence of 4-strand, barbed and smooth wire fence in accordance with the specifications herein along with clearing of the fence right of way. Wire gates will be installed where there are existing gates in the old fence, or new locations specified by the Forest Service. New wire gates may be installed at various locations, to be determined by the Forest Service prior to starting work. The reconstructed fence must be built to wildlife specifications as per the Kaibab National Forest range management prescription.

All fencing materials will be supplied by the contractor. There is road access to most of the fence locations, however some locations will require transporting equipment by UTV or ATV provided by the contractor. The contractor is encouraged to reuse any T-posts from the old fence that are of acceptable or better quality. The contractor shall be responsible for timely delivery of all required fence material as each section is constructed. Excess construction material and old fencing material shall be removed completely off Forest Service lands by the contractor as work progresses. Old, unusable fence material must be transported by the Contractor to a center of their choosing to be recycled in an appropriate and approved manner. No unused materials, old or new, shall remain anywhere along the fence line after work is completed.

For the currently identified projects on the Kaibab National Forest the typical terrain is on varying topography ranging from open grasslands to mountainous terrain, stretches of continuous rock or bedrock are present. Some areas will require hauling of equipment and supplies and camping for extended periods within the forest. The project areas will likely contain existing structures that will require removal and proper disposal off-site. Areas have been affected by previous prescribed fire and wildfire activities that have destroyed or damaged the existing structures. The following schedules further define the scope of work for this contract.

1) Contractor will construct approximately 9.02 miles of new fence as identified on provided maps

2) Contractor will roll up and remove from Forest Service Lands approximately 9.02 miles of fence.
