Monticello SAN juan county cattle guards

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Utah Region has issued a Special Notice of Intent to sole source a purchase order to San Juan County, Utah for cattle guard replacement. The notice involves the procurement and installation of six cattle guards along county "B" roads within BLM allotment/pasture boundaries. The project is specifically designed to address ongoing livestock management challenges, particularly preventing gates from being left open during grazing seasons that currently cause unintended cattle mixing. This Special Notice was posted on February 11, 2025, with responses due by February 21, 2025, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time. The procurement falls under NAICS category 238990 for All Other Specialty Trade Contractors, with a size standard of $19.0 million.

The primary objective of this project is to improve livestock movement and management by replacing existing gates with standardized cattle guards at strategic locations. The total estimated cost for the project is $59,820.00, which includes purchase, installation, and 20-year maintenance of cattle guards and related accessories. Specific locations include two Cigarette Cattle Guards on Road #B239, one Lower Ballies Cattle Guard on Road #B236, and three Harts Point Cattle Guards on Road #B121. While this is not a formal request for quotes, interested contractors may submit capabilities statements by the specified deadline. The anticipated award date is March 10, 2025, and contractors will be required to meet San Juan County Road Department specifications for the cattle guards. Maintenance of the installed cattle guards will be required every five years to ensure continued functionality and effectiveness.
