About this opportunity
The US Forest Service, in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, is seeking a contractor to perform fence removal and replacement work on the Whitman Ranger District in Baker County, Oregon. The project involves rolling up approximately 3.2 miles (16,986 linear feet) of existing 3-strand barbed wire livestock fence and constructing up to 16,896 linear feet of new 3-strand let-down barbed wire fence. The contractor will be responsible for clearing the fence line, installing two wire gates and one cattle guard, and transporting government-provided materials to the project site. The work must be completed according to strict Forest Service specifications, including precise requirements for wire spacing, post placement, tension devices, stay construction, and water gap crossings. The bid due date was August 2, 2023, with a final project completion date extended to June 30, 2024, and liquidated damages of $500 per day for delays beyond the specified timeline. Contractors must provide all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, and operating supplies necessary to complete the project.
The procurement opportunity does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations. A bid tally sheet reveals three bidders: Fence & Forestry LLC with a bid of $39,705.60, Mountain Sky Inc. at $350,592.00, and T Morgan Contracting LLC at $169,804.80. The Notice of Intent to Award indicates that Burden Fencing & Forestry LLC of Pilot Rock, Oregon, was selected as the responsive and responsible bidder. The contract will be a firm fixed-price agreement, with the government providing most fence materials except rock. Bidders were required to be registered in the OregonBuys procurement system and must submit required bonds, insurance, and documentation. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the bid range suggests the project value is between $40,000 and $350,000. The contract includes compliance requirements for prevailing wage rates, Buy America provisions, and non-discrimination certifications.
