Specifications include, but are not limited to: Big game animals can have negative impacts on agricultural operations. To help mitigate this impact, the Division of Wildlife Resources annually purchases plastic fencing to exclude wildlife from damaging agricultural assets such as haystacks. Wrapping haystacks and other uses of the fencing has proven to be useful in helping farmers protect their crops from big game damage. The Division of Wildlife Resources is soliciting bids for a 5-year contract to supply plastic fencing. Annual orders will typically be between $40,000 and $70,000 but may be above or below this estimation depending on needs. The desired specifications are listed below: Product Type: Integrally formed biaxial geogrid Polymer: Polypropylene Load Transfer Mechanism: Positive mechanical interlock.
