56--DEER CREEK DOWNSTREAM FENCE EXTENSION

The Deer Creek Downstream Fence Extension project, managed by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation through the Upper Colorado Regional Office, is a Firm-Fixed Price contract for the design, procurement, and installation of security fencing at Deer Creek Dam in Wasatch County, Utah. The scope of work involves installing approximately 520 linear feet of 7-foot-tall chain link fence topped with barbed wire, including two fence sections and four gates. This installation is intended to enhance security and restrict unauthorized public access to the dam's outlet works and downstream area, with materials required to meet ASTM standards. The estimated contract magnitude is between 25,000 and 100,000 dollars. The procurement process included specific requirements for bid and performance bonds, as well as adherence to Department of Labor prevailing wage rates for heavy construction in Wasatch County. Project execution is subject to environmental constraints, specifically the Migratory Birds Treaty Act, which may delay the notice to proceed due to the presence of active raptor bird nests in the area. The contract structure utilizes a pricing schedule with specific line items for mobilization, materials, and installation services, while maintaining strict security protocols regarding Controlled Unclassified Information.
