PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FCCO Vehicle Gate and Fence Replacement

DATE revised: May 12, 2026

1.0 INTRODUCTION:

1.1 Upper Colorado Basin Regional Office, Four Corners Construction Office (FCCO): The area of fencing where the vehicle gates are located has not been updated in decades. Reclamation has gone through multiple incidents in the past few years, when one or the other gate operators have failed. The gate operators cannot be repaired due to the age of the components. Fence alignment adjacent to vehicle gates is out of alignment and needs to be removed and replaced. Re-alignment of the fence will remove one of the major contributors to the failure of the existing gates.

2.0 SCOPE: FCCO has an immediate need to replace a dilapidated set of cantilevered vehicle gates. It needs to be re-aligned and the associated security fences need to be replaced. The location of the project is at Four Corners Construction Office, 1235 La Plata Highway, Farmington NM 87401. The period of performance to complete the project is estimated to be one week.

A. Demolition & Site Prep

1. Remove existing gate leaf, hardware, operator (if any), and associated wiring. Contractor to haul-off and properly dispose of debris. In addition, the contractor must remove the adjacent fencing (should not exceed approximately 61 linear feet) and any poles require to ensure the proper operation of the cantilevered vehicle gate operation.

2. Utility locates and protect existing services prior to excavation/pier work. (Contractor to arrange.)

3. Existing Fence Posts can be abandoned in place after mitigating interference with gate operations, tripping hazards and then filling with concrete.

4. Excavate for new posts/footings to engineered depth per soil conditions; typical footing budgets are driven by linear footage and depth.

B. Structural & Hardware Installation

1. Set posts (2 roller posts + 1 receiver/latch post) in concrete footing (qty 6) (rebar per code) for the new North and East vehicle gates in concrete; furnish post brackets and hardware compatible with selected rollers/trolley assemblies.

2. Install gate frame for the North and East vehicle entrances (20-ft cantilever) with cross-bracing and finish (powder coat or galvanizing as specified). Material cost shares for cantilever gates commonly place the frame at ~35–45% of total.

3. Install cantilever rollers/trolleys for each gate (qty 4) matched to frame/post geometry (round or square), per manufacturer instructions.

4. Install guide rollers for each gate (top/side, qty 2) and receiver/catch hardware for closed position stabilization.

5. Re-alignment of fence posts to ensure that they don’t interfere with the operation of the vehicle gates.

6. Installation of new fence posts as needed to facilitate the proper operation of the vehicle gates.

7. Installation of approximately 61 linear feet of new galvanized chain link fence with a three-strand barbed wire topper.

C. Automation, Safety & Access

1. Furnish & install identical slide gate operators for each (2) vehicle gate sized for 20-ft span and load; residential heavy-duty to commercial options.

2. Wire & commission safety photo eyes (monitored when required by the operator/Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL)), mounted per manufacturer alignment guidelines.

3. Provide keypad access (standalone) at vehicle approach, including conduit, cabling, and programming.

D. Electrical & Controls

1. Provide power to operator location, including trenching/conduit pulls and panel tie-in (by licensed electrician). Typical electrical share runs ~8–12% of the overall gate project.

2. Program & test operator logic (auto-close, obstruction sensing), safety devices, and access control; deliver manuals and as-built wiring diagram. Operator configuration capabilities and ranges are published for representative models.

E. Closeout

1. Training: Brief Operations & Maintenance (O&M) training for end users (manual release, safety checks).

2. Warranty: Minimum 1-year on workmanship; standard manufacturer warranties per product line (e.g., operators list 2 – 8-year parts/motor on certain brands).

3.0 PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS: Not applicable.

4.0 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED EQUIPMENT (GFE) AND MATERIALS:

4.1 GFE: Not Applicable.

4.2 Government Furnished Materials: Not Applicable

5.0 REGULATIONS/POLICIES:

5.1. UL 325 (gate operator/safety devices)

5.2. Architectural and Technical Standards Manual (ASTM) F2200 (gate construction).

6.0 TRAVEL: Not Applicable

7.0 GOVERNMENT VEHICLES: Not Applicable.

8.0 SECURITY:

8.1 The Project Manager or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will assist with the Contractor’s entry into secure areas and inform the Contractor of security procedures. The Contractor must comply with all security procedures.

8.2 All contractor produced and Government furnished information related to this contract is designated Public Information (non-official use only), except for the Government furnished work products which are designated Official Use Only – Sensitive (FOUO/Sensitive). This includes any information related to the keypads programming or manual operations of the gates.

8.3 Reclamation reserves the right to perform security checks on Contractor employees.

9.0 TRAINING: The contractor must provide training to the FCCO O&M staff on the operation of the vehicle gate in automatic and manual modes.

10.0 DELIVERABLES:

10.1 Two new fully operational vehicle gates and ancillary equipment required for proper and safe operation of the vehicle gates.

10.2 New chain link fence properly installed and re-aligned allowing for the operation of the vehicle gates without any interference.

10.2 All manuals related to the operation, maintenance and repair of the vehicle gates and their ancillary equipment.

11.0 IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES: All contract personnel are required to identify themselves as contractors.

11.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: It is anticipated that this project will take one week to complete after all labor, material and equipment are sourced.
