The Bureau of Land Management Montana State Office issued solicitation 140L3626Q0006 for the Haxby 4 Fence project in Garfield County, Montana. This firm-fixed-price contract, set aside 100 percent for small businesses under NAICS code 238990, involves the reconstruction of approximately 3,155 rods of new 4-wire fence with steel line posts and 173 rods with wood line posts. The scope of work includes the removal of existing fences and the replacement of designated components, with an estimated value between 100,000 and 250,000 dollars. Performance must begin within 10 calendar days of award and be completed within 95 calendar days, with a target delivery date of August 31, 2026. Award is based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where price is the primary factor and past performance is evaluated only if the lowest-priced offeror fails to meet a passing threshold. Technical requirements mandate adherence to ASTM and AWPA standards for steel and wood preservation, and all work must be performed during regular business hours unless prior written approval is granted. Contractors are required to submit payment requests electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform. The project also includes strict compliance with Montana heavy construction wage determinations and mandates the immediate cessation of work upon the discovery of historical or archeological artifacts.
