The project involves a private landowner and coordination with the Utah Watershed Restoration Initiative, Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
- **Requested work:** Supply materials and construct approximately 2.5 miles of fence along ridgelines, slopes, and property lines, plus at least 8 and up to 12 ten-foot gates. The fence is intended to exclude trespassing sheep and protect forage for big game.

- **Notable requirements and discrepancy:** Offered goods or services may not be from Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation, including their affiliates. The detailed scope calls for six strands of barbed wire, while background text refers to five strands and smooth top and bottom wires; confirm the controlling specification.
