Statement of Work Lake Berryessa East Side Road Exclusion Fencing

1.0 Introduction

The Bureau of Reclamation created the reservoir of Lake Berryessa in the 1950’s as part of the Solano Project, authorized by the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (53 Stat. 1187). Solano Irrigation District operates the Solano Project under an agreement with Reclamation, although the reservoir and surrounding land are federal lands managed by Reclamation. At capacity, Lake Berryessa stores 1.6 million acre-feet (af) of water and is one of the largest bodies of fresh water in California. The lake is 23 miles long by 3 miles wide and has 165 miles of shoreline.

In August of 2020, a series of spot fires ignited and converged to form the LNU Lightning Complex Fire which burned the northern-most, 400 acres of the former Lake Berryessa Wildlife Area as well as 60% of the Solano Project Lands around Lake Berryessa. The recovery resulted in several time-consuming employee and public safety projects. This workload, when combined with a sharp decline in field office staff post-pandemic and post-fire, meant that a project to address the rise in invasive plants, including black mustard, along the eastern shore of Lake Berryessa could not be addressed until now.

2.0 Background

The Lake Berryessa Field Office has successfully applied for BIL-BAR 5-10 year Post Fire Recovery Funding in FY 25 and would like to use this funding to add permanent, fire-resistant, 4-strand, wildlife-friendly, barbed-wire exclusion fencing along creeks. The fencing will aid in the definition of grazing plots and the recovery of riparian areas by implementing recommendations from a July 2008 Lake Berryessa East Side Grazing Management Plan.

3.0 Scope

The Lake Berryessa East Side Road Fencing contract will construct fire-resistant, exclusion fencing using Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards along creeks forming the boundaries of management parcels 1-6 in the attached Paddock Map. Using estimates from the 2008 management plan we estimate the following needs:

1,400 pounds or 135,000 psi

Wire Clips: The following criteria will be followed for attaching wires to all posts:

• Wire clips should be 12 – 12 ½ gauge galvanized.

• Wire clips or fasteners must be galvanized and similar to strength of fence wire.

Wire Splices:

1. Standard Wire - Western Union splices, as shown below, shall have a minimum of 8 wraps on each side of center, tightly wound and closely spaced.

2. Standard and High Tensile Wire - Compression fittings or splice sleeves will have a tensile strength not less than 80% of the wire. Ends of wire will be overlapped at least 2 inches with sleeves crimped and installed according to manufactures specifications.

Two 3/8 in. sleeves or one ¾ in. sleeve will be installed at each splice.

3. Standard wire may also have “loop” splices where the wire has a minimum of 8 wraps on each side. (Western union is the preferred method, followed by compression fittings, but “loop” splicing is acceptable).

4. High Tensile Wire – “The Figure 8”, as shown below, can be used by overlapping wires 2 inches, looping each wire over and back through, then pulling together. As fence is stretched, the splice will tighten.

Stays: Wire stays shall be 9.5-gauge or heavier, zinc coated, twisted wire. The length shall be at least two inches longer than the distance between the top and the bottom strands of the fence. Wood stays shall be sound, straight pieces at least 2 inches in diameter.

Post Depth: Line steel posts shall be set a minimum depth of 1.5 feet. Gate, corner, and brace posts shall be set to a minimum depth of 3 feet, unless otherwise specified. Steel pipe and angle section posts shall be embedded in a 12-inch circular or square concrete pier, except when set in firm rock.

Post Spacing:

a) Line (Brace) Post To maintain the strength and life of the materials, line posts should be placed at intervals suitable for the site conditions. On flat ground with little stress on the wires, buried posts can be placed after 20 t-posts. When topography is sloped and the fence following the slope, brace posts should be placed more frequently and may need to be located at the end of every 5 t-posts. Additionally, the brace posts should be placed at every low point on undulating topography, with an earth-anchor used to add strength.

b) T-Posts T-posts or should be placed at 13 – 20 feet intervals, depending on topography and site conditions. If they are placed from 13-15’ spacing a stay is not required. If they are placed at any distance greater than 15’, a stay is required.

Wire Spacing: Distance from ground to top wire shall not exceed 42 inches (total fence height). A maximum height of 40 inches or less is preferred. The top 2 wires must be spaced at least 12 inches apart. The distance from ground to bottom wire shall be at least 16 inches.

Wire Fasteners: Fasteners on steel posts shall be snug enough to prevent vertical movement of the wire on the post.

Drainageways: In crossing drainageways or depressions, a weight or deadman anchor shall be fastened to the fence to maintain the required spacing interval or additional wires shall be added to maintain the required minimum wire height from the ground.

Wire Visibility: All new fences should be marked with at least temporary flagging. In travel corridors or areas of heavy use, implement one or more of the following to increase wire visibility: 1) use durable markers such as small pieces of white vinyl siding to mark wires, 2) use white vinyl-coated wire or other high visibility wire for top wire, or

3) slip sections of PVC pipe onto top wire.

Fence Type Line Post Spacing (Maximum Interval)

4 Wire Fence 13-15 feet without stays 15-20 feet with one stay mid-way between posts

4-Wire Suspension Fence 80 to 100 feet (not to exceed 100 feet).

Stays shall be spaced not to exceed 15 feet in the line.

Let-Down Fences 15 feet between posts – wood/fiberglass stays at approximately 4-foot intervals.

5.2 Let-Down Fence

Using the same NRCS standards above, the Contractor will install 600 feet of Let-Down Fence below the reservoir’s 440’ above sea level line to allow staff to lower fencing in high water years to reduce the risk of it entangling boaters and anglers.

5.3 Chicanes and Gates

Contractor will install 5 vehicle access gates adjacent to accessible “U” chicanes using non-combustible materials in the existing fence lines perpendicular to east side road to livestock and pedestrian access through each exclusion area.

6.0 Environmental Protection Requirements

This contract will need to enact conservation measures to protect the California red-legged frog (FRLF). Temporary ground disturbance could crush or injure individuals if CRLF occupies upland refugia or moist areas along fencelines. Increased worker presence and equipment movement could temporarily displace frogs from movement corridors. Installing or repairing fence lines presents potential for direct effects to CRLF may include injury or death by being struck by equipment or entombed in burrows from soil disturbance. Most fenceline work would occur in upland areas less frequently used by CRLF except during wet season dispersal. Project implementation would occur during dry season conditions to reduce the likelihood that CRLF will be present in the Project area.

6.1 Worker Environmental Awareness Training (WEAT)

Worker Environmental Awareness Training: Prior to the commencement of Project work, all Project personnel will attend an environmental awareness training. It will include;

species descriptions and habitat needs, species status and protection under the Endangered Species Act, definition of take, reporting requirements, conservation measures to reduce project impacts, and instructions for encountering California Red-legged Frog (CRLF) and Keck’s checker-mallow in areas where take could occur.

Employees will sign a form stating that they received and understand the training.

Reclamation will maintain a list of personnel receiving the training.

6.2 Pre-Construction Biological Surveys

Prior to any ground disturbing activities, pre-construction biological surveys will be conducted in the action area for CRLF and Keck’s checker-mallow. Surveys will be conducted by a qualified biologist within 14 days prior to commencement of the work.

6.3 Wildlife Protection During Work

To reduce the potential for Project vehicles striking CRLF, a 10-mile-per-hour speed limit will be enforced at the site.

No work will occur during or 24-hours following a rain event. A rain event is to be considered precipitation of ¼-inch or more within a 24-hour period.

All Project personnel will be informed of the Action Area boundaries for Project activities.

If necessary, flagging and/or staking may be used to define the Project area limits.

6.4 Vehicle and Equipment Decontamination

To prevent spread of invasive species, disease, or contaminants:

All equipment and vehicles shall be fully decontaminated prior to arriving on site.

Decontamination steps must be approved by Reclamation personnel.

7.0 Government Furnished Equipment

The Government will supply a copy of a padlock key so that the contractor may access the paddocks along East Side Road and Eticuera Day Use Area during the duration of the contract.

8.0 Period of Performance

Period of Performance is 90 days from issuance of notice to proceed. All work is to be performed during the work week Monday through Friday exclusive of holidays.

9.0 Place of Performance

Contract is scheduled to occur at:

Lake Berryessa Field Office 5520 Berryessa Knoxville Road Napa, CA 94558

The contractor may stage equipment and supplies on the hardened surfaces of:

Eticuera Day Use Area

8600 Berryessa Knoxville Road Napa, CA 94558

The work will take place along four and a half miles of East Side Road from its intersection with Berryessa Knoxville Road just north of Eticuera Day Use Area extending south to its intersection with the southern gate limiting public access to the Gunn Easement.

WBR 1452.236-84 PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL RESOURCES – MAR 2022

(a) Definitions.

"Cultural items" as defined by Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA) include Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony.

"Cultural resources" is a broad term that includes prehistoric, historic, architectural, and traditional cultural properties; specific items include, but are not limited to, human skeletal remains, archaeological artifacts, records, and material remains related to such properties.

"Funerary objects" means Native American items that, as part of the death rite or ceremony of a culture, are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally at the time of death or later with or near individual human remains.

"Human remains" means the physical remains of the body of a person.

"Native American" means of, or relating to, a tribe, people, or culture that is indigenous to the

United States.

"Sacred objects" means Native American items that are specific ceremonial objects needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. These items are specifically limited to objects that were devoted to a traditional Native American religious ceremony or ritual and which have religious significance or function in the continued observance or renewal of such ceremony.

"Objects of cultural patrimony" means Native American items having ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American tribe or Native Hawaiian http://www.usbr.gov/safety/rshs/index.html https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber http://www.osha.gov/

I-6 organization itself, rather than property owned by an individual tribal or organization member.

These objects are of such central importance that they may not be alienated, appropriated, or conveyed by any individual tribal or organization member.

(b) General. Federal legislation provides for the protection and preservation of cultural resources that may be impacted or altered as a result of any Federal project, activity, or program or federally licensed or assisted project, activity, or program.

(c) Discovery of Resources. Should the Contractor, or any of the Contractor's employees, subcontractors, or parties operating or associated with the Contractor, in the performance of this contract discover evidence of possible cultural resources, the Contractor shall immediately cease work at that location and provide oral notification to the contracting officer, giving location and nature of the findings. The Contractor shall forward a written report of findings to the

Contracting Officer within 48 hours.

(i) If a cultural resource is determined by Reclamation to be a Native American cultural item, then the Contractor shall cease the activity in the area of the discovery, make a reasonable effort to protect the items…
