This contract includes all labor, equipment, and materials necessary to install the fence as shown in the plans, standard drawing, special provisions, and standard specifications.

The Right-of-Way Fence, Type G (Metal Post) with Tortoise Fence will be installed by burying the tortoise fence 12” under the natural ground level where possible. If bedrock is encountered additional equipment to drill fence posts will be necessary. Pay item: “Fence Post (Drilling in Rock)” is in the contract for drilling in rock. The quantity for fence posts requiring drilling is an estimated quantity. Final payment for this item will be made based on actual field quantities encountered during installation. Whether the tortoise fence is buried or folded with cobble in bedrock areas, payment will be made under the same fence items.

Major items to be purchased for the Right-of-Way Fence, Type G (Metal Post) with Tortoise Fence include metal line posts, fence fabric, top and bottom tension wire, fence clamps, hog rings, tortoise fence, and cobble (in bedrock areas). Additional material requirements are shown in the plans, standard drawings, special provisions, and standard specifications.
