Regrade the surrounding area to natural grades, including the voids left from the larger footprint where the old cattle guard base sat. Center the new cattle guard to the center of the road. Final location shall be approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative.

Excavate unsuitable material if encountered at foundation grade. Prepare subgrade for new cattle guard installation. Provide a firm earthen foundation of uniform density throughout its length and width. Place backfill lifts evenly on all sides of the structure. Extend each lift to the limits of the excavation or natural ground. Place backfill in compacted lifts no more than 6 inches in thickness.

Install new cattle guard warning signs, two (2) each, 30” x 30”, and two (2) Type 3 object markers, at the new cattle guard location, per the sign installation guidelines attached herein.
