1.03 REFERENCES:

A. N/A

1.04 DEFINITIONS:

A. Approval of the submittals is an indication that the Contractor's submittals have been reviewed and that there are no objections, except as noted. Approval of deviations shall apply only to those deviations or omissions from the requirements of the drawings and specifications brought to the Contracting Officer's attention in writing.

1.05 QUALITY ASSURANCE:

A. N/A

1.06 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING:

A. Delivery: The Contractor shall protect products incorporated into the work from damage while in transit to the site. Products must be stored in original unopened containers with manufacturer's name, brand designation, and contents legibly indicated.

B. Storage: The Contractor shall provide temporary storage facilities for products complying with manufacturer's recommendations which will protect them from damage until installation on the project and final acceptance.

C. Handling: The Contractor shall load and unload products in such a manner as to protect them from damage until installation on the project.

1.07 PROJECT/SITE CONDITIONS:

A. Access Roads: Access roads are shown on the Work Location Map. Vehicle travel is permitted along the fence line. Maps of these areas will be provided. The topography along the fence line may limit or prevent travel.

B. Rocky ground: The project site includes some rock formations which prevent posts from being driven. A rock drill may be required at these work sites to assure proper installation of posts.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: TWIN FALLS DISTRICT FENCE REPAIRS 2021 Page 11

C. Environmental Considerations:

1. No blading or scraping of the ground along the fence line or on any Bureau of Land Management administered land is needed or permitted. Access roads shall not be constructed along fence lines or to the job sites but travel along the fence line is permitted.

Rocky conditions exist along portions of the fences. It is recommended that interested contractors visit and inspect the site before offering a quote.

No cross-country travel with motorized vehicles shall take place when ground is muddy causing ruts to form. The Contractor shall repair all ruts and scarred ground created by construction, repair, or removal as directed by the Contracting Officer.

Camping at or near the job site is permitted as long as it does not exceed a maximum of 14 days in any one location. Camping is prohibited within 100 yards of any isolated water source springs, seeps, water troughs, windmills, small reservoirs, etc. Toilet facility requirements shall follow all Federal and State regulations. When a camp site is no longer needed, all garbage must be removed and properly disposed of.

Clean-up: All trash and excess materials must be removed from the project site on completion of construction and disposed of in a manner, and at a location, approved by the Contracting Officer.

Cultural Considerations: Because fragile and irreplaceable cultural resources may be present in the area, project activities and any other action which causes disturbance of the earth's surface shall be limited to those areas approved by the BLM. Deviations from routes flagged or shown on the drawings are not allowable without prior approval of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall insure that he/she, their employees, or their representatives do not collect archaeological artifacts. Should the condition of the cultural resources in the area be altered during construction due to unauthorized activity by the Contractor or his employees, the Contractor shall be responsible for all costs of mitigating the cultural resources involved. If deterioration of the archaeological sites is found to be occurring during the construction phase, work on the project shall be terminated until a data recovery plan is prepared and completed in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act.

The Contractor shall immediately bring to the attention of the Contracting Officer any and all cultural resources including, but not limited to, historic and prehistoric sites or artifacts, buried artifacts, and buried features such as fire pits, burials, and house floors discovered as a result of construction operations. The Contractor shall immediately suspend all activities that might harm the object(s) and shall leave such discoveries intact until instructed to proceed by the Contracting Officer.

Pursuant to 43 CFR J0.4(g) the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer by telephone, with written confirmation, immediately upon the discovery of human remains, funerary items, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony. Further, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.4(c) and (d), the Contractor must stop activities in the immediate vicinity of the discovery and protect it from construction activities for 30 days or until notified to proceed by the Contracting Officer.

PART 3: EXECUTION

3.1 PREPARATION

A. Clearing: Will not be needed since all fences will be within last year’s fire area. At the time of construction, grass will be growing, but will not be enough to need cleared.

3.02 INSTALLATION: REFER TO WORK DATA SHEET

A. General: Construct the wire fence in accordance with the drawings.

B. Ratio of Wood to Steel Line Posts: All steel.

C. Setting Posts: Set posts plumb and to the spacing and grades as shown on the drawings, unless staked otherwise. Space within 6 inches of that dimension shown on the drawings or in the Work Data Sheet.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: TWIN FALLS DISTRICT FENCE REPAIRS 2021 Page 17

D. Driving Line Posts: Steel Posts: Drive into the ground to the depth shown on the drawings. The anchor plate shall be 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 smaller than the diameter of the post, then drive post solidly into the rock formation.

G. Brace Wire: Double-loop and twist tight. A steel rod shall be used, leaving one end of the steel rod long enough to fasten behind the horizontal brace or wire may be twisted tight from the brace wire and looped over the brace pipe to prevent wire from unwinding.
