Posts shall be wood or metal in accordance with details shown on the plans and/or proposal. Fences shall be erected at the locations and elevations shown on the plans or designated and shall comply with these Specifications. When it is optional as to the choice of the post type to be used, the alternate, once selected, shall be used throughout the project.

a.General. All construction methods and equipment employed in the setting of fence shall be in accordance with requirements of the Specifications of the manufacturer of the fence materials being used and such that the resulting structure will provide the expected service and be durable and complete in every detail.
b.Clearing Fence Line. All brush, stumps, logs, large roots, humps of earth, boulders or debris which would interfere with proper construction of the fence in the required location and present a pleasing and acceptable profile along the tops of the posts shall be removed before starting fencing operations. Sound standing trees in the fence line shall be removed or trimmed as directed to provide adequate working room. The clearing and/or grading of the fence line and the disposal of material removed shall be accomplished in such a way that trees and shrubs on the remainder of the right of way will not be damaged.
c.Setting Posts. All posts and anchorage shall be set at intervals shown on the plans or directed. The posts shall be set plumb and in true alignment on the side on which the wire is attached. Holes shall be dug to the minimum diameter and depth shown on the plans except that special treatment may be authorized when the fence is over solid rock. Steel or wood posts, excluding posts that are to be set in concrete, may be driven if the soil conditions are suitable. Methods shall be used to protect the posts and galvanized coating or wood preservative during the driving operation. The heads of all posts shall be protected from damage by caps or driving heads of approved design. Heads of wood posts shall be protected by a suitable cushion of wood, rope or like material and by a metal driving head. Posts that are damaged in any way shall be removed and replaced without additional cost to the State.
d.Installing Wire and Gates. The woven wire fabric shall be stretched taut and securely fastened to each post by use of wire and an approved fencing tool so that the top of the fabric and lines of barbed wire are properly spaced from the top of each post as shown on the plans. The stretching shall be done with an approved stretcher that will produce equal tension in each line of wire in the fabric. At each end, corner or gate post each strand or line of wire shall be wrapped around the post and securely fastened near the post by winding the end about the same wire. Where the fence crosses short depressions, longer posts may be required and the space below the bottom of the fence filled in with additional strands of barbed wire tied to posts as directed. Where the fence crosses deep depressions or ravines the Engineer shall require that posts likely to be lifted when the fence is stretched be anchored in concrete as required for corner posts. The fence shall be connected to culvert and/or bridge wing walls in accordance with the details shown on the plans. The Contractor, however, may submit for consideration by the Department an alternate method of attaching the fence to the wing walls, provided no additional cost to the project is incurred, the method submitted presents a pleasing appearance to the eye, and accomplishes the desired results.
