665.03 General. Prior to constructing the fence, the area along the line of the
fence shall be cleared according to Section 201. Posts shall be set vertical and in true alignment. The new fence shall be permanently tied to the terminals of existing fences when required by the Engineer. Metal corner, end, pull posts, and braces shall be properly spaced and set in concrete. Metal line posts may be driven in place. All wood posts shall be set according to Article 634.05. Any high points which interfere with the placing of woven wire shall be graded to provide the clearance shown on the plans. Barbed and woven wire shall be pulled tight, according to standard practice and the recommendations of the manufacturer, and shall be fastened to wood posts by means of 1 1/2 in. (40 mm) minimum galvanized fence staples and to metal posts by means of wire, clips or other suitable fasteners. Splicing barbed or woven wire shall be accomplished by using either a wrapped splice or a corrosive resistant, compressed sleeve type splice meeting the approval of the Engineer. When a wrapped splice is used for woven wire, the vertical wires adjacent to the ends shall be brought together and the end of each horizontal wire wrapped not less than six complete turns around the other corresponding horizontal wire. When barbed wire is Right-of-Way Markers Art. 666.03 spliced, each end shall be wrapped not less than six complete turns around the other wire. Gates shall be assembled and installed according to the details shown on the plans. Vehicle gates shall swing open 180 degrees. Pedestrian gates shall swing open 90 degrees. Gate keepers shall be provided to hold gates when in an open position and shall be located and installed as directed by the Engineer. Continuous fence shall be grounded at intervals not exceeding 200 ft (60 m). There shall be a ground not exceeding 35 ft (10.7 m) from a gate in each section of the fence adjacent to a gate. There shall be a minimum of one ground in any partial section of fence, constructed separately but in conjunction with main fence. Fence under a power line shall be grounded by three grounds, one directly under the crossing and one on each side 25 to 35 ft (8 to 10.7 m) away. A single ground shall be placed directly under each telephone wire or cable crossing. Each barbed wire and the top and bottom wires of the woven fence shall be fastened to the metal post by a mechanical means to ensure a tight connection for positive grounding. When metal line posts are used in lieu of wood line posts, this grounding is not required.
665.04 Method of Measurement. Woven wire fence will be measured for
payment in feet (meters) along the top of the fence from center to center of end posts, excluding the length occupied by gates. Excavation in rock will be measured for payment according to Article 502.12.
665.05 Basis of Payment. This work will be paid for at the contract unit price
per foot (meter) for WOVEN WIRE FENCE, and at the contract unit price per each for WOVEN WIRE GATES, of the sizes and types specified. Excavation in rock will be paid for according to Article 502.13. SECTION 666. RIGHT-OF-WAY MARKERS
666.01 Description. This work shall consist of furnishing and erecting
concrete right-of-way markers, or removing and reerecting right-of-way markers.
666.02 Materials. Materials shall be according to the following.
Item Article/Section
a.Precast Concrete Right-of-Way Markers ................................................ 1042
b.Reinforcement Bars ........................................................................... 1006.10 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
666.03 Furnishing and Erecting. Right-of-way markers shall not be erected
within the corporate limits of cities, villages or towns. When erected within improved residential areas, Method B right-of-way markers shall be used. Method A right-of- way markers shall be used at all other locations as shown on the plans.
