Attachment 01 - Gap Fence Statment of Objectives.pdf

This is a Statement of Objectives (SOO) for a Gap Fence Solution project at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, issued by the Department of the Air Force, 1ERS Mission Support Flight (USAFE), dated 28 July 2026.

The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, and materials to deliver and install a manually operated swing gate fence system spanning 191 feet across a runway gap. The fence must feature chain-link infill with a mill finish and a height of 6-7 feet. The design shall consist of two swing gates that meet in the middle, with reinforced anchor posts at each end. When closed, the gates must be secured with a latch or chains to prevent swinging or bulging, with the contractor to advise if ground drilling and stakes are required. The fence must be equipped with wheels on the bottom for smooth opening and closing, with flexible wheel options near anchor points to accommodate minor elevation changes; flexible wheels across the entire fence is preferred. The contractor cannot dig, trench, or install railings. The fence does not require crash rating. Reference images provided show the aerial location of the gap between existing anchor points, an overhead view indicating the gates meet halfway with a securing latch, and examples of acceptable wheel configurations that can be spaced at intervals to support weight and ease of mobility.
