The following are examples of the types of maintenance services the Contactor may perform under this contract. These examples are not all inclusive or restricted in nature and do not constitute relief from exercising professional judgment in the performance of maintenance services.

C.4.3 Fence and Gates (F&G) There are three (3) categories of fencing: primary, secondary and tertiary. There are two categories of gates: manual and automatic/mechanized. See exhibits 1, 2 and 2a for more detail.

There are two general causes of damage to TI assets leading to the need for corrective maintenance: environmental and manmade. Environmental damage to F&G refers to the forces of nature that will act upon the fencing and includes corrosion, erosion, water pooling, sand drifting, debris build-up, wind loading, temperature change (i.e., thermal expansion and contraction cycles that may create cracks) and ground shift and similar events. Manmade damage to F&G refers to vandalism, accidental damage, and cutting, burrowing below, climbing, prying/twisting, disassembly, ramming, ramping/bridging, pulling down, graffiti, cryogenic and fire/heating/burning and similar events. At a minimum, the scope of work includes:

Fence –

• Restore the structural integrity without significantly changing the design

• Correct damage caused by burrowing, water, and wind erosion

• Correct damage to fence foundations and mitigate erosion

• Moving and storing fence panels, as needed, during repair and/or improvement work can be performed and reinstalled by coordinating with the COR.

• Abate graffiti

• Welding repairs shall be performed at a minimum by a 3G certified welder o A 3G welding certification demonstrates a welder's ability to perform vertical groove and fillet welds and is a foundational certification that also qualifies them for flat (1G) and horizontal (2G) positions, but not the overhead position.

• Painting

• Repair/ replace damaged/ stolen concertina wire attached to the fencing

• Sand Removal caused by the blowing winds

Gates –

• Restore structural integrity to pre-existing state, are tamper proof, and do not significantly change the design.

• Correct damage caused by rodents, vandalism, weather, ramming, burrowing, water, wind, and erosion. Repairs to electrical or electronic components shall be performed by a licensed and insured electrician.

• Welding repairs shall be performed by a minimum 3G certified welder

• Repair/ replace damaged/ stolen concertina wire attached to gates.

C.4.4 Roads and Bridges (R&B) There are five (5) categories of roads: FC-1, FC-2, FC-3, FC-4 and FC-5. Included within roads are also integrated culverts, low water crossings, guardrails, cattle guards, and bridges (including crossovers). The road system is not continuous and will require transporting equipment from site to site to complete maintenance activities. Access roads to TI and towers need inspection after any major natural events (such as heavy rainstorms, earthquakes, floods) at the COR’s direction.

See Exbibit 3 for more detail. At a minimum, the scope of work includes:

• Adding binding and/or stabilizing agents to roads for dust suppression and road stabilization efforts.

• Repairing or replacing damaged safety barriers, guardrails, signs, mirrors, etc.

• Inspecting bridge (including crossovers) pavement/ surface material, guardrails, regrading and adding new material to FC-2 and FC-3 roads to facilitate traffic and provide proper drainage. All bridges, including crossovers, will be inspected and certified at the CORs discretion, but no less than once every 5 years.

• Performing spot surfacing, patching potholes, deep patching of asphalt surface, skin patching of asphalt surfaces, and patching asphalt berms. The work includes preparing the area, furnishing, hauling, and placing all necessary materials.

• Removing and/or clearing vegetation so that roads are drivable.

• Furnishing, hauling, and placing erosion resistant materials and protective materials for use on designated locations such as embankments and culvert inlets.

• Returning road sections damaged by weather events or excessive use to a serviceable condition. Required by applicable references, Exhibit 6.

• As required and directed by the COR, the Contractor will flag archaeological sites and perform cultural monitoring during road maintenance activities. Work will consist of identifying and avoiding archaeological and cultural resources during blading and compacting, ensuring that all Best Management Practices (BMPs) are implemented. The monitor shall physically be present during all ground disturbance activities. The Contractor shall provide daily reports of the monitoring observations to CBP.

• Repair or replace existing drainage features.

C.4.5 Drainage and Grates (D&G) D&G encompass components such as catch basins, culverts and storm drainage grates used for peak water flow mitigation and runoff control/containment, water quality improvement, and flood plain compensation. They can range in size from two-foot (2ft) diameter pipes to tunnels large enough to accommodate trucks. Repairs are required to keep drainage systems operating efficiently. The periodic removal of debris, silt and trash is required to reduce the risk of flooding and to ensure proper functioning. Water flowing at or near the border may be contaminated, at times requiring special hazardous material (HAZMAT) equipment and procedures and qualified personnel to perform the work in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal codes.

The drainage system gates and grates are subject to frequent vandalism. The most common form of vandalism is cutting the gate or grate with a saw or torch to allow for illicit traffic/activities to pass. Other forms of vandalism occur such as using hydraulic jacks to pry openings in the structure. See Exhibit 4 for ancillary detail.

At a minimum, the scope of work shall include repairs related to vandalism and other causes:

• Making repairs that restore the structural integrity, and do not change the design without prior COR approval.

• Fixing damage caused by water and wind erosion.

• Removing and replacing existing culverts and appurtenances with new ones.

• Remove and replace damaged D-ring anchors, motor boxes, winch box wire rope and wheels upon COR approval.

• Welding repairs shall be performed by a 3G certified welder.

C.4.6 Border Lighting and Electrical (L&E) L&E systems encompass components such as ballasts, photocells, transformers, bulbs and utility poles. The utilities are both above and below ground. For the purposes of this contract, the L&E system is restricted to only those components directly associated with illuminating the primary border roads and fencing at night. See Exhibit 5 for more details.

Damage to lighting and electrical systems may be caused by a variety of events such as shooting out of lights, theft of lighting system copper wire, rodents damaging wiring, or poles downed by storms or vehicles.

At a minimum, the scope of work shall include maintenance due to damage and malfunction:

• Performing repairs and replacements (e.g., LED lights, bulbs, ballasts, photocells, lens covers, rodent damaged wiring, transformers, etc.).

• Repositioning lights to properly illuminate border areas as dictated by operational needs.

• Repairs to major electrical or electronic components shall be performed by a licensed and insured electrician and done pursuant to all applicable local, state and federal codes.

• In rare circumstances, lighting system measurements and inspections will be required before/after normal business hours, to accurately assess in dark conditions.

• Perform manufacturer recommended maintenance and inspections on motorized gate operators.

C.4.7 Vegetation Control and Debris Removal (V&D) Vegetation control, along the fence, drainage structures and road lines is required to meet the following five (5) objectives:

• Eliminate areas in which people can hide.

• Maintain line-of-site for law enforcement.

• Remove debris that collects on fencing, gates, grates, and drain collectors to prevent damage or flooding.

• Removing and/or clearing vegetation so that the roads are drivable.

• Remove trash, materials, and hazardous waste.

The general cause of remediation requiring V&D is environmental. Organic debris accumulation is driven largely by weather events such as flashfloods and wind. Inorganic debris is primarily left behind by those attempting to illegally cross the border. The accumulation of debris may also include dead animals and/or other hazardous materials outside the limits of the low water crossings.

Debris removal shall include silt build-up, tires, domestic trash, rocks, tires, fallen trees, branches, brush windfalls, dead animals, logs, roots, stumps, stubs, and all other obstructions found within the corridor along the fence line. Should it be necessary to remove a portion of fence in order to remove debris, the Contractor shall construct a temporary fence at the end of each workday, and replace any permanent panels removed during these activities at the end of the task at a minimum, the scope of work shall include:

• Mowing, removing, and disposing of grass and other vegetation to a minimum height of 4” not- to-exceed 6”. Approved herbicides may be used under certain circumstances

• Clearing and grubbing (up to 5ft on either side of roads; up to 60ft along border fencing;

or as directed by the COR. The COR is responsible for verifying all environmental clearances required for determining vegetation clearing areas prior to commencement of work activities; the Contractor is responsible for verifying with the COR that clearances are in place in writing.)

• Collecting, removing and disposing of both organic and inorganic material. The Contractor shall be responsible to find suitable disposal sites that can accept all debris material and document the Contractor Work Plan appropriately. The Contractor shall also maintain proper records for any HAZMAT disposal. While these records are not specified as deliverable, they will be made available upon request

• As required and directed by the COR, the Contractor will conduct nesting surveys before any vegetation control activities are performed. The Contractor will avoid any identified active nest per BMP guidelines. Nesting surveys will be conducted by a certified surveyor and their reports will become part of the Work Order record and be uploaded to the appropriate Government maintenance work management system ILSS Maximo.
