Questions - 127EAV24Q0072 - Stewart Fence
1. Do you have pipe or is it used 2 5/8” well bore tubing. I ask because drill stem/tubing is usually magnetized after use. Magnetization makes weld process more difficult.
It is brand new pipe.
2. Length of provided pipe says 2500’. 2000’ for rails and 500 for uprights/posts.
• General Description Section States: Uprights will be placed 10 to 12 ft apart depending on lay of land.
• So, assuming you will be able to follow the 10’ spacing over 90% the fence project the pipe required is minimum of 40’ and as high as 100’ more than what is provided.
• 1000/10’ spacing = 100 – 10% = 90 posts. 90 posts at 6’ is 540’ of pipe used as posts. 2-4 of joints extra on top of the 2540’ required might be needed for cut offs.
We will provide whatever pipe is required to get the project completed.
3. Is the less than 25k magnitude going to remain firm?
Yes.
4. Is gate provided equipped with hinges?
No, we do not have hinges for the gate.

7. Can equipment be used to clear out brush for the installation of the fence?
No. Vendor must remove bushing manually or chainsaw. Dozer and/or masticator are not covered in NEPA.
