Grizzly Wildlife Habitat Management Area Fence Modification: The Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming State Office, intends to award a cooperative agreement with the Wyoming Game & Fish Department to convert 24 miles of woven wire, 6-strand, and 5 strand fencing on BLM , State of Wyoming, and private lands within the Grizzly Wildlife Habitat Management Area in the Rawlins Field Office. New fences will allow easier migration of pronghorn herds, elk calves, and mule deer fawns as construction will follow WGFD wildlife specifications for wire spacing including a smooth wire bottom strand. Additional benefit will be realized by sage grouse with the removal of the woven wire fencing. The anticipated length of the project is a 5 year period. The BLM will consider continued funding for the project upon (a) the recipient showing progress satisfactory to the BLM toward program goals and the determination by the BLM that continuation of the program would be in the best interest of the Government or (b) the availability of funds. The total project period for this award will not exceed 60 months.
