Overview of Fence Condition and Type – Existing fence type within the project area is variable depending on location. Portions consist of four or five strand type with woven wire mesh along the bottom. Line posts are a combination of standard t-posts and wooden posts, with existing spacing of approximately 8’ to 16.5’. Stress panels and corner panels include cemented steel posts, non-cemented steel posts, wood, and welded steel drill pipe. General condition varies from completely non-functional to standing, and has been impacted by wildfire.

North Davis Fire Fence – Removal of all existing fence materials. Reconstruct fencing within original footprint as shown on the project specifications drawings. Approximately 2,198 linear feet of reconstruction.

East Davis Fire Fence – Removal of all existing wire (barbed, smooth, and mesh), line posts (t-posts and wood posts), fence clips, stays, and gates. Reconstruct by replacing wire, line posts, fence clips, stays, and gates as shown on the project specifications drawing. All existing stress panels (constructed of welded drill pipe) as shown on the project specifications drawings are to be reused as is. Approximately 10,031 linear feet of reconstruction.

South Davis Fire Fence – Removal of all existing fence materials. Reconstruct fencing within original footprint as shown on the project specifications drawings. Approximately 5,751 linear feet of reconstruction.

B. Related Sections: Section 011000 - Summary. Section 016400 - Government Furnished Products

PART 2: PRODUCTS

2.1 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED MATERIALS

A. Requirements: See Section 016400 - Government Furnished Products.

PART 3: EXECUTION

3.1 PREPARATION

A. Clearing: All fence line routes have not been cleared of vegetation and must be hand cleared or with hand-held power tools. Maximum clearing width is 8 feet on each side of the fence line. Provide minimum disturbance to existing grass and sod. Travel will be limited to existing roads and 8 feet on each side of the fence line.

3.2 INSTALLATION

A. General: Construct wire fence in accordance with the drawings.

B. Setting Posts: Set steel pipe posts by driving into the ground or into undersize drilled holes. Driven steel pipe posts that are split by driving, twisted, bent, or have broomed tops will not be accepted. Driven posts shall be set to the depths as shown on the drawing. Set posts plumb and to the spacing and depths as shown on the drawing, unless staked otherwise. All posts shall be capped.

C. Driving Steel T Posts: Drive into the ground to the depth shown on the drawings or until the anchor plate is slightly below the ground surface. Posts shall be driven plumb. When rock formations prevent driving remove anchor plate and excavate or drill holes a minimum of 18 inches deep and slightly larger than the diameter of the post. Place posts in the holes and grout the post solidly in position.

D. Corner Post, Gate Post, Corner Panel, Brace, and End Panel (Stress Panel) Assemblies: Construct as shown on the drawings or as staked in the field. Rock jacks shall not be substituted for these items. Construct stress panels on crests of hills if indicated, and a maximum of 1320 feet center-to-center for barbed wire sections.

E. Wire: Stretch tightly and staple to posts or securely attach to steel pipe posts with ties wire and steel or fiberglass T posts with standard wire clips. Wire is properly stretched when it is springy to the touch. The wire shall be free to move through the clips as it expands and contracts. Terminate wire at each end post, gate post, corner post, or stress panel. Wrap wire around the post two times and tie off by wrapping around the incoming wire a minimum of four times.

F. Brace Wire: Double-loop and twist tight with a stick. For steel pipe panels, each wrap shall be looped once around the post. Leave one end of the stick long enough to fasten behind the horizontal brace to prevent wire from unwinding or wire vertically to the rail to prevent unwinding.

G. Gates: Shall be installed according to the drawings.

H. Wire Gate Closers: Adjust wire gate closer after installation so that the closer does not require excessive force to latch and the gate will still hang properly.

I. Foot Access Gap: Are a three linear foot break in fence lines bound on both ends by panel features as identified on the project specification maps. Note- these items are not considered Pay Items.
