FENCE

The existing perimeter fence consists of eight-foot-tall chain-link fence with Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) walls at the main entry gate and at all outside corners, see Drawings LIB-3012 – Rev A and LIB 0013 – Rev A. Each fence post has a standard top cap to support the existing top rail.

The Contractor shall remove the existing top rail and fence end caps; provide new 45-degree barbed arm caps for two new horizontal barbed wire strands; then reinstall the top rail. The removed top end caps become the property of the Contractor, and shall be disposed of/recycled at an appropriate location.
