Rabbit Gulch Habitat Protection Fencing, near Duchesne UT

Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) is acquiring services in this contract to provide fencing for habitat protection on the Rabbit Gulch Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Project work includes the removal and disposal of 6,000 feet of t-post and barbed wire/net style fencing. Contractor will then re-construct the same 6,000 foot section of fencing using welded drill pipe and succor rod. UDWR will provide all drill pipe posts, toprail, and succor rod. Contractor must provide metal clips, expansion joints, concrete, and all welding supplies and hydraulic post pounding equipment. Bids should be submitted on a per/foot basis. The Rabbit Gulch WMA Fencing project area is located about 11 miles west of Duchesne, Utah (just west of Starvation Reservoir). Elevation averages 6,600 feet. The project will begin on or after October 1, 2021 and must be completed and inspected by December 17, 2021. The main access route is a well maintained Duchesne County dirt road from Highway 40, which goes northwest for about one mile through an area of private properties and then enters the southern boundary of the WMA. The fence line will replace the existing t-post fence that will be removed by the contractor as part of this project. New fence construction will follow this exact line. Section and property corner markers will be marked and must be preserved by the contractor. Utah Division of Wildlife (UDWR) staff will identify unit boundaries for the work executed under the contract. The Contractor shall immediately upon entering the project area, begin work, locate control points, section corners, and take such action to prevent their destruction. Section and quarter section corners will be marked by UDWR as to avoid any damages during fence construction. Construction shall be performed in an organized systematic manner as determined in the pre-work conference.
