Includes performing vibro-ground test before backfilling trench and splice locations.

•(4)     All work to excavate additional distance and install additional ½" diameter conductor to the grounding loop near fence line, perform new vibro-ground test and backfill trench in the event number three above fails the first vibro-ground test.
