The Pennsylvania Game Commission is seeking bids for a project focused on enhancing habitat for woodrats within State Game Lands #084. The work involves constructing two new woodrat den sites using wall rock and R6-R8 stone materials, which are already staged at the project site along Well Road. Additionally, the project requires modifying and enhancing seven existing rock habitats spread within a quarter-mile area. Construction demands precise placement of rocks, guided on-site by PGC staff, utilizing heavy equipment such as an excavator with a thumb attachment, a 40-ton articulated rock truck, and a bucket loader or skid steer to efficiently transport and position materials across multiple locations. The solicitation, titled "23NE SGL 84 Woodrat Habitat Construction," was posted on May 3, 2024, with a response deadline of May 9, 2024. The project is estimated to cost between $50,000 and $150,000 and falls under NAICS code 238910, which pertains to site preparation contractors. Interested bidders can contact Zachary Barrick via email or phone for further details and can access the solicitation through the Pennsylvania eMarketplace portal. The project aims to improve habitat conditions for woodrats by strategically constructing and modifying rock structures, requiring specialized equipment and precise execution to meet the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s conservation objectives.
