Final Methods
UDWR issued 2 contracts to complete a total of 5.28 miles of fence reconstruction. The first contract was for 3.11 miles and included sections across the dike on the county road and down the western border of the WMA south of the county road. This contract allowed for re-use of some posts as long as they were still in-tact as there were several sections that had good posts in them. The 2nd contract for 2.17 miles continued across the southern boundary of the WMA and then turned north and ran up to the rest pond. This contract required all new posts as the fencing was all really old and posts were rotting through.

Project Narrative
First contract was awarded to Rocky Mountain fence in March and work began in April and was completed in early June. The price on the first contract came in significantly lower than expected and when we noted we had a good chunk of remaining budget we looked at the next phase we were planning to propose and found that we could complete another section at that price. After some coordination with State Purchasing it was determined the best path forward was to issue a new RQS as the specs from Phase 1 were different enough (allowed re-use of posts vs not allowed) from Phase 2 that it warranted a new open competition. When the bids came back the price was still in the same neighborhood but D&W Builders was the low bid so we had a new contractor for the 2nd section. D&W began work in early June and we conducted a final inspection on June 26.

Future Management
New fence will be checked regularly for livestock tight condition, but it is anticipated that for the first few years that workload should be significantly lighter because of the new fence. This largely completes the fence re-build of the actively managed portions of the Clear Lake WMA, if the water situation ever improves and we begin actively managing property at the north end again there will be a need to improve fencing there.
