Exhibit B-1
SCOPE of WORK (Bid 1)
The Colville Tribal Fish and Wildlife Department is requesting bids for South Omak Lake
Fencing Contract
Physical Conditions: The Colville Tribe is requesting bids for repair and/or replace
approximately 3.625 miles (19,150 ft.) of fencing and gates to stock tight condition. Fence is
measured as per horizontal distance and is not adjusted for slope.
The contractor will need to:
-Replace and/or repair ALL four wires and the top and bottom wires will be barbless wire.
-Replace ALL wooden posts with metal t-posts.
-Wooden H-braces will need to be installed.
All work will comply with the CTCR Pronghorn Friendly fencing specifications.
Obstruction Removal: Roll up all barbed wire, remove all clips, and burnt wooden posts that
will be replaced. Metal posts suitable for re-use may be used in the reconstruction of the fence.
All other materials are to be disposed of as specified in the contract disposal plan. Should the
Contractor fail to perform clean up. the cost of the removal and disposal shall be deducted from
the final payment.
Fencing: The fence will consist of 4 strands of barbed and barbless (top and bottom wires) 12.5
(Class 3) gauge wire, with metal t-posts (1.33 lbs. 6 ft.) installed every 16 feet. Reinforce fence
by constructing H-braces where needed by using 2 (5-inch diameter, 7-8 feet long) posts and 1
rail (4inch diameter, 8 feet long); reinforce H - brace with double wrap wires installed
diagonally around the posts and tightened by twisting. H-braces should be installed at corners,
gates, slope breaks and/or every 1/4 mile.
Wire Gate Requirement: Gates require an H - brace on each side of the opening. Attach 4
strands of 12.5 gauge barbed wire to the H-brace on one side of the opening, extend wire across
gate opening and attach it to a wooden gate post (3-inch diameter, 4 feet long), and install 3
evenly spaced wooden stays or metal stays to the center portion of the gate. Gate opening should
be approximately 17 ft. wide, but some cases will vary. Attach wire loops to the wooden post, top
and bottom, that will allow the gate to be secured in the closed position.
4-post H Brace: Whenever fences make a tum of 20-60 degrees a 4-post H-brace is required. This
involves constructing 2 H-braces end to end that form the angle necessary to make the turn.
Install 2 (5-inch diameter, 7-8 feet long) posts and 1 rail (4inch diameter, 8 feet long); reinforce
H-brace with double wrap wires installed diagonally around the posts and tightened by twisting.
Install another H-brace at correct angle approximately 1-2 ft. apart. String wire to close the gap
between the 2 H-braces.

Fencing specifications will also include: Clear a path for the fence as necessary that is free of
debris including shrubs and trees less than six (6) inches in diameter. Remove all snags with the
potential to fall onto the fence.
All fence construction will conform to Washington State - NRCS specifications for standard,
four wire, barbed wire livestock fencing, utilizing metal T-posts and wooden H -braces. If the
fence will be tying into a cattle guard, then an H-Brace must be put in place. All fenced gates
must be reinstalled in their proper location. Hang-mans will be put in place if needed. All basic
fencing materials, labor, and equipment will be furnished by the Contractor.
Construction Sites: Please review the attached maps showing the construction locations.
