About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting contractors to remove approximately 6.5 miles of existing dilapidated fencing and install 7 miles of new wildlife-friendly barbed wire boundary fencing at Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Washington. The project requires specialized fencing that prevents cattle from entering refuge property while allowing passage for elk and other wildlife species, with specific technical requirements including steel braces, t-posts spaced 12 feet apart, and a particular wire configuration using twisted barbless wire and barbed wire strands. Contractors must demonstrate technical approach, relevant experience, and key personnel qualifications, with proposals evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method. Critical procurement dates include a mandatory site visit on August 21, 2025, a question deadline of August 27, 2025, and proposal submissions due by September 5, 2025 at 9:00 AM CST. The work must be completed primarily during summer and fall months when ground conditions are dry, with an anticipated performance period from September 10, 2025 to September 30, 2027.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set Aside under NAICS code 238990 with a size standard of $19.0 million, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The project magnitude has been revised upward from an initial range of $100,000-$200,000 to $100,000-$249,000 to better reflect the anticipated scope of work. The contract includes approximately 15 cowboy gates (16-18 feet wide) and 5 ditch crossings across the 7-mile fence installation, with all work taking place on pasture ground with variable vegetation density. Performance is located at Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge at 100 Wildlife Refuge Road in Glenwood, Washington, Klickitat County. Performance and payment bonds will be required for contract amounts over $150,000, with bonds due within 10 calendar days after award, and the contract will be structured as firm-fixed-price with prevailing wage requirements under General Wage Rate Decision Number WA20240050.
