SECTION C--DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

Scope of Contract

This contract is for the mobilization, fabrication, and installation of 600 ft steel rail barrier fencing

(with an additional line item adding 445 ft), one steel equestrian access gate (fabrication and installation), one steel width limiter gate (fabrication and installation), and one steel bulletin board frame (fabrication and installation) at Upper 51 and Tevis Cup Trail junction.

Note: Some bedrock may exist sub-grade at Upper 51 Saddle and may add difficulty during excavation needs.

This contract is for the mobilization, fabrication, and installation of one steel equestrian access gate

(optional line item) at Lower FR 51 and Talbot Creek Trail.
