Purchase and Install Silt Fence

The contractor shall provide all labor, material and equipment necessary to purchase and install gopher tortoise exclusion fencing on North Captiva per maps provided. These permits require the temporary installation of filter fabric (silt fencing) or other comparable fencing (buried at least eight inches into the ground) along the outer edge of the construction right-of-way to block tortoise re-entry into the corridor during construction activities. The silt fences for each Work Area will need to be installed prior to the removal of the gopher tortoises from that area, and their release on other side of temporary fencing into adjacent suitable habitat. Phase I has been divided up into eight separate Work Areas, with twenty-seven specific work locations.
