The specification details requirements for four standardized range kit sizes (10, 12, 14, and 16 ft platforms) and wood pile lengths of 45, 50, 55, and 60 ft, utilizing both non-treated and treated wood. Technical requirements include specific material specifications for steel bolts, nuts, and hardware, with all hardware to be hot-dip galvanized and meet ASTM A307 Grade A specifications.

The document outlines comprehensive fabrication requirements, including precise timber preservation processes, wood pile characteristics (Douglas fir or Southern pine), and detailed stacking diagrams for each range kit size. Contractors must provide monthly status reports to the Contracting Officer's Representative, document quality assurance through inspection forms, and ensure conformance with ASTM and AWPA standards. The specification covers packaging, shipping guidelines, and includes specific hardware kit components like washers, nuts, stringer nails, and deck nails, with careful attention to treatment, dimensions, and quality control measures.
