Pecos Fencing Materials Questions/Answers
1. What style of H Brace are you wanting. 2 rail 3 or 4? Capped or uncapped?
*No longer using the pipe H-brace design.
• Request for bolt together bracing. Design by the New Mexico State Highway
Department is an acceptable alternative. Please see attachment for Angle Iron
Corner/Inline bracing specifications.
2. The diameter is 6”, can you please advise on the required lengths of these posts please?
8 ft.
3. Is there a sheet that shows the material requirements? See attachment # 2 updated
Schedule of Items.
4. Such as the diagram for H-braces it shows the material but no diagram of how it should be built.
*No fabrication of H-braces. Amendment will reflect bolt together Angle Iron Corner/Inline bracing specifications.
5. T-posts (example) (T-posts shall be 6.0 feet in length, and at 1.33 pounds per foot). Yes 6.0 ft and 1.33 lbs./ft.
6. Will we have to provide equipment what pound of quick Crete, and PSI. Provide equipment to unload. 60 lb. bags
7. Is there a bond required – No bond necessary as this is a supply only purchase.
8. If required to unload only? will we have to stack the materials, if so, what does the site look like and the storage area? Unloading by deliverer is required. Stacking materials is required. Site consists of flat ground and CONEX storage containers. Must provide equipment if necessary. The area is flat and has 4 Conex containers in which materials will be placed. See attachment # 3 which contains a photo with view of site.
9. in the specs it states 14 days to delivery is that correct? I believe it would take more time especially if the H braces must be made.

10. Barbed Wire - 12.5 gauge round Class 1, zinc-coated 2-point double strand twisted.
• Quantity: 1200 Rolls ----how many pounds per roll or how many feet per roll do you need?
Approximate weight of each roll is 80 lbs. or 1,320 ft./roll
11. Twisted Metal Fence Stays 40-42” in length.

12. Treated 6” Wooden Post how many feet or inches in length?

See response in question #2.

• Quantity: 24,750 EA how many feet in length?4 - how many lbs/ft?
See response to question # 5.
For this type of fence, you will not need to use the quick crete that you specified. This fence is driven into the ground, which saves the cost of concrete and reduces labor hours. Instead of H braces, wooden posts can be used. Quick Crete is necessary to set bracing
Additionally, regarding the item "Twisted metal fence stays 40-42” in length," are you referring to the height? If so, it is typically 48" high – No total length of twisted stay 42”.

(with bolts) c). Does this mean that you need 9,000 ea. 7’ x 2.5” x 2.5” x 0.25” Upright Posts and
