B. Ratio of Wood to Steel Line Posts: All steel. Contractor shall replace all existing wood posts with steel T-posts.

C. Setting Posts: Dig holes for setting steel posts to the depth as shown on the Work Data Sheet, or drive posts to depth shown on the Work Data Sheet. Set posts plumb and to the spacing and grades as shown on the drawings, unless staked otherwise. Space within 2 inches of the dimension shown on the Work Data Sheet. Holes shall provide adequate open space around the post so backfill can be tamped to the full depth around the post. Backfill gradually and uniformly with soil around each post. Compact backfill firmly from the bottom of the hole to the ground surface. Where existing soils are sandy and posts are loose and unstable, posts shall be set in concrete at depths indicated in specs and drawings. All posts shall be firmly set in place.

D. Driving T Posts: Drive into the ground to the depth shown on the Work Data Sheet or until the anchor plate is completely below the ground surface. Posts shall be driven plumb. When rock formations prevent driving remove anchor plate and excavate or drill holes a minimum of 18 inches deep and slightly larger than the diameter of the post. Place posts in the holes and grout the post solidly in position.

E. Corner panel, End Panel, Stress Panel/H Brace assemblies: Construct as shown on the drawings.

Construct stress panels on crests of hills unless shown otherwise on the drawings or staked in the field.

In addition, stress panels are required at points between which wire is to be stretched. Construct end panels at the end of fence runs and on both sides of staked wire gates unless shown otherwise on the drawings. The panels are prefabricated from 1 inch steel tubing and shall be secured with hose clamps to 7'-0" steel posts that have been driven 2'-6" into the ground. End panels shall be clamped at the terminal end to two steel posts driven together. If loose soil conditions cause corner panels to lift when the fence wire is stretched, an additional steel post shall be driven parallel and adjacent to the corner post a minimum of 2'-6" deep and clamped to the panels. When rock formations prevent driving steel posts, remove anchor plate and drill holes a minimum of 2'-6" deep and slightly smaller than the diameter of the post(s). Drive posts solidly into the holes

F. Wire on Standard Fence: Stretch tightly and securely attach to steel posts with standard wire clips.

Securely attach wire to steel posts with wire. Wire is properly stretched when it is springy to the touch.

The wire shall be free to move through the wire ties as it expands and contracts. Terminate wire at each end post, gate post, corner post, or stress panel. Wrap wire around the post two times and tie off by wrapping around the incoming wire a minimum of four times. Top 3 wires shall be barbed, and the bottom wire shall be smooth.

G. Brace Wire: Double-loop and twist tight with rebar or steel rod. For steel pipe panels, each wrap shall be looped once around the post (as shown in drawings).

3.3 EXPLOSIVES

A. Requirements: The use of explosives is prohibited.

PART 4: MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

4.1 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

Units: The work described in this section will be measured for payment by the linear foot for each section of fence as measured along the ground surface next to the completed fence, including distance across gate openings, end, stress, and corner panels. The quantities of end, stress, and corner panels, and gates to be paid for will be the actual number each of these items. Note: Gates do not include adjacent end or corner panels, these are separate items.

In accordance with 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting, the prime contractor must perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, excluding the cost of materials with its own employees and employees of a similarly situated subcontractor. A similarly situated subcontractor is a small business concern subcontractor that is a participant of the same SBA program that qualified the prime contractor as an eligible offeror and awardee of the contract. The contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Limitation on Subcontracting.

At the conclusion of the period of performance and prior to final payment, the contractor shall submit a Limitation on Subcontracting Report directly to the Contracting Officer. The following information is required as part of the report:

1) the total amount paid to the Prime during the performance period broken out by labor and materials 2) list of Similarly Situated Subcontractors and the amounts paid to each during the performance period broken out by labor and materials 3) list of any other subcontractors and the amounts paid to each during the performance period broken out by labor and materials.

A party's failure to comply with the spirit and intent of a subcontract with a similarly situated entity may be considered a basis for debarment on the grounds, including but not limited to, that the parties have violated the terms of a Government contract or subcontract pursuant to FAR 9.406-2(b)(1)(i) (48 CFR 9.406-2(b)(1)(i)).

H.8 Environmental Impact

All waste materials generated by any work under the contract performed on a Government installation shall at all times be handled, transported, stored, and disposed of by the contractor and by his subcontractors in accordance with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, court orders, and other types of rulings having the effect of the law, including, but not limited to Executive Order 12088, 13 October 1978, Federal Compliance with

H.9 Hazardous Materials

Any material suspected of being hazardous that is encountered during performance of a project shall immediately be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer, at which time a determination will be made as to whether hazardous material testing shall be performed. If the Contracting Officer directs the contractor to perform tests, and/or the material is found to be of a hazardous nature requiring additional protective measures, a contract modification may be required, subject to equitable adjustment under the terms of the contract. The contractor is advised that friable and/or non-friable asbestos-containing material may be encountered in project areas.

Friable asbestos-containing material is any material that contains more than one percent asbestos by weight, and that hand pressure can crumble, pulverize or reduce to powder when dry. Non-friable asbestos containing materials are materials in which asbestos fibers are bound by a matrix material, saturation, impregnation or coating.

Non-friable asbestos-containing materials do not normally release airborne asbestos fiber during routine handling and end-use. However, excessive fiber concentrations may be produced during uncontrolled abrading, sanding, drilling, cutting, machining, removal, demolition, or other similar activities. 29 CFR 1910.1001 shall be referenced in the event asbestos-containing materials are encountered. Friable asbestos-containing materials are not authorized for use in new construction or maintenance projects.
