B. The Contractor shall Protect In-Place all existing utilities unless marked for relocate or abandon.

3.2 REMOVING OLD FENCE

1. Prevent people or livestock from entering work site from adjacent properties during removal and installation procedures.

a. For Type A and D fencing the UDOT Standard Drawings show that 16 feet is the required spacing in between line posts and/or brace posts. When livestock is present in the area where Type A or D fencing is to be installed UDOT requests that the Contractor install the line posts (and/or brace posts) spaced at 10 feet to prevent the livestock from excessively damaging the fence with pushing.

C. The manufacturers of the fencing materials generally give installation instructions and/or special advisements along with their product. These special instructions need to be followed as well.

1. In the event that there is a discrepancy between the manufacturer instructions and the UDOT instructions contact the designated UDOT Representative for further instruction on how to proceed.

3.4 TRAFFIC CONTROL

A. The Contractor is responsible for providing traffic control (in the form of a shoulder closure) for their workers and their equipment during the entire fencing and clearing/grubbing (only required if necessary) operation, including mobilization, if any part of the operation is located on the shoulder of the roadway. This shoulder closure is required to be implemented according to the current FHWA 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Utah Edition (Utah MUTCD Manual), the UDOT 2025 Standard Drawings Section “Traffic Control”, and the Department’s current Traffic Control Plans.

B. The Contractor is still required to provide traffic control even if the fencing and mobilization of equipment is entirely off of the shoulder and beyond the edge of pavement. This traffic control is required to be implemented according to the current FHWA 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Utah Edition (Utah MUTCD Manual), the UDOT 2025 Standard Drawings Section “Traffic Control”, and the Department’s current Traffic Control Plans.

00895 – Page 8 of 8

3.5 FINAL CLEANUP

A. The Contractor will sweep and/or blow shoulders clear of any and all debris caused by the removal of existing fencing and the installation of new fencing.

This debris will be relocated to the area between the edge of pavement (EOP) and the UDOT owned Right of Way line and NOT into the travel lanes of the roadway or beyond the UDOT owned Right of Way line.
