Fencing shall be completely secured at top and bottom to prevent pedestrian access. Fences shall be adequately staked and/or anchored with braces angled from top of post to ground toward interior of contractor area as needed to prevent blowing over during high wind conditions. A warning sign shall be fastened to the construction fence every fifty feet or on all sides of the fence where the fence is less than 50’ indicating construction area authorized entry only and hard hats required. Fencing will be one of three types based on duration, location and nature of the project.

Type 1 fence (fig. 1) will be used for projects of 30 days or less in duration unless dictated by the contracting officer (CO). This type fence will be kept in good repair at all times and replaced if it has been identified by the contracting officer (CO). This fence will be securely fastened to #6 rebar at the top and bottom. Rebar will have safety caps attached to all exposed tops. Type 2 fence will be used for all projects in duration of more than 30 days and/or identified as needing fencing by the CO. Examples of projects that may be in duration of less than 30 days but require type 2 fence are: demolition projects, projects in military family housing areas, projects in public access areas, etc. The type of fence used will be at the direction of the CO and will meet the following guidelines. Type 2 fence (fig. 2 and 2a) shall be wire frame galvanized 6’ high (or metric equivalent). During the months of April through September all contractors will be required to screen the fence with approved screening material as shown in fig 2a. The contractor is responsible to maintain the screening in good repair during these months. If the screening material becomes unrepairable, after 1 October the contractor may remove it without replacement. Screening for fencing during the months of October through April will be at the discretion of the CO. The type of fence to be used will be identified in the Statement of Work as well as a local contractual clause.
