Temporary Wildlife Exclusion Fencing Installation

The contract involves the installation of temporary fencing across 124 acres of aspen sucker zones to protect newly regenerating vegetation from browsing by deer and livestock. The fencing will be deployed using portable or snow fencing systems designed for remote forest environments, ensuring minimal environmental disruption and ease of installation and removal. Work must be carried out in challenging terrain where access is limited, requiring specialized equipment and logistics to support operations without damaging the surrounding ecosystem. The project is classified under NAICS code 238990 for other construction specialties and is structured as a subcontract within the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority’s broader conservation initiative in California. While no specific solicitation number or point of contact is provided, the contract was posted on June 2, 2026, and the performance location is within forested areas managed by the authority. The temporary nature of the fencing underscores its role as a short-term ecological protection measure, with the expectation that it will be removed once the aspen suckers are sufficiently established to withstand browsing pressure.
