HI- Honouliuli Mammalian Exclusion Fence Repairs

The Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking quotations for repair services on a mammalian exclusion fence located at the Honouliuli unit of Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge in Hawaii. The primary scope of work involves installing Aquamesh material (provided by the government) to corroded sections of the existing fence, replacing non-functioning posts, and ensuring the fence skirt extends at least 6 inches underground and 2 feet into the soil substrate, with approximately 750 linear feet requiring repair. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis to the lowest evaluated price from a responsible respondent, with Davis-Bacon wage rates applying. A site visit was scheduled for February 23, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, though attendance was not mandatory. The deadline for quotations is March 16, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. local Hawaii time, and an amendment issued on March 3, 2026, closed the questions deadline after providing clarifications on eight submitted inquiries.

This solicitation is set aside exclusively for small business concerns under NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) with a small business size standard of $19.0 million. The project is valued at less than $25,000, and no performance or payment bonds are required. The period of performance runs from 10 days after award through May 15, 2026, with contractors permitted to propose an alternate 45-day completion timeline if desired. The government has established a base bid quantity of 20 replacement posts, with additional Aquamesh panels available if needed beyond the initial 800 feet provided. The work will take place at the Honouliuli unit of Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge in Hawaii, where vehicle access is available via UTV or small truck, and on-site chipping and staging of cleared biomass is permitted rather than requiring off-site haul-away.
