DESCRIPTION
707.01 Description
This work consists of constructing fences, gates, and water crossings. MATERIALS
707.02 Materials
Provide materials of the kind, size, and type shown on the Plans, including all necessary posts, fittings, and appurtenances. Provide materials as specified in: Portland Cement Concrete, Class A ................................ ............ 604 Stock Fence ................................ ................................ ............ 909.01 Chain-Link Fence ................................ ................................ .. 909.02 Fence Gates ................................ ................................ ............ 909.03 Water Gates and Water Crossings ................................ ......... 909.04 The Engineer will reject galvanized material that is damaged. With the Engineer’s approval, the Contractor may repair damaged galvanized material as specified in 713.04.B. 707.03 706 707.03 Reserved CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
707.04 Preliminary Work
Before beginning construction or placing of fences, perform all necessary Clearing and Grubbing a nd Removal of Structures and Obstructions as specified in 201 and 202, respectively. Clearing for fence construction shall not extend beyond the right -of-way line. Do not disturb living trees and shrubs 1 foot or more on each side of the fence line unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Locate the fence 1 foot inside the right -of-way unless otherwise shown on the Plans. Remove rock, which protrudes above the ground surface and is in the l ine of the fence, to the ground surface. Turn fences in at drainage structures, cattle passes, and bridges where directed by the Engineer so as to abut wingwalls and abutments. Provide two weeks notice to affected property owners before cutting existing fences. Install access control fences before cutting existing fences in areas used by domestic livestock or other areas as directed by the Engineer.
707.05 Setting Posts and Backfilling
Set line posts for stock fence at intervals not to exceed 10 feet. Erect braced line posts at intervals of 330 feet between end or corner posts, and, when necessary due to terrain features, install additional braced line posts at locations designated by the Engineer. Measure the interval between posts parallel to the bottom of the fabric of the proposed fence and in line of fence from center to center of post. Set posts for chain -link fence at intervals not to exceed 10 feet. Measure the intervals between posts as specified above for stock fence. Install posts, shown on the Plans to be set in concrete, in dug or drilled holes of the size and to the depth shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. For embedment of posts and for anchors, use Class A concrete meeting the requirements of 604. Construct t he concrete embedment and anchors with a crown at the top to shed water. If ground conditions allow, the Contractor may drive posts that do not require embedment to the required depth using approved methods, or otherwise s hall 707.06 707 install such posts in holes dug or drilled to the specified depth and to a size that will allow sufficient room for proper backfilling. If solid rock is encountered, install posts by drilling the rock to the required depth and grouting the post ther ein with Portland cement grout composed of one part cement to three parts sand. Backfill post holes for posts not requiring concrete embedment with selected earth or other approved material. Place backfill material in layers not exceeding 6 inches, and th oroughly tamp each layer. When backfilling and tamping is completed, secure the posts and anchors in the proper position. Do not apply pull to posts set in concrete until the concrete has cured a minimum of 72 hours.
707.06 Erecting Fence
At certain locations along the right -of-way, the Engineer will direct the Contractor to construct chain -link fence or stock fence prior to the removal of existing fences. When fences are constructed 1 foot inside the right -of-way, landowners may join these fences by setting posts adjacent to them.
A.Stock Fences Place fabric by securing or fastening one end and applying sufficient tension to remove approximately one -half of the tension curve in the wire before making permanent attachment elsewhere. Fasten the fabric and barbed wire to the posts as shown on the Pl ans. Tightly draw up all bolts and clips or ties used to fasten wire or fittings to the posts. Use bolts of sufficient length to extend at least ¼ inch through and beyond the full nut; however, where such extension might constitute a safety hazard, cut the bolt off flush with the nut.
B.Chain-Link Fence Place the fabric by securing one end and applying sufficient tension to remove all slack before making attachment elsewhere. Fasten the fabric to the posts at intervals not exceeding 14 inches. When specif ied, connect the top rail with expansion sleeves to form a continuous rail, and fasten the fabric to the rail at intervals not exceeding 2 feet. When using aluminum -alloy fabric, attach a tension wire to the bottom of the fabric 707.07 708 by means of a hog -ring type fastener at a maximum of 2 -foot intervals, and secure the wire at the terminal posts with brace bands. Pull barbed wire taut before permanently attaching to a post or extension arm. When chain -link or stock fences cross short depressions or ditches, construct water crossings or water gates of the type, at the locations, and in accordance with the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. Construct and install fence gates as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer.
707.07 Final Finishing and Cleanup
The Engineer will inspect fences after they have been placed in final position. Dispose of all excess or unsuitable material as directed by the Engineer. Perform final cleanup as specified in 104.10. COMPENSATION
707.08 Method of Measurement
The Department will measure:
1.Fences by the linear foot along the bottom of the fabric and from end to end of the fence, complete in place, deducting the width of openings.
2.Gates by the unit, per each, complete in place, for the kin ds and dimensions as shown on the Plans.
3.Water Crossings, complete in place, by the length in linear feet, as determined in accordance with the details shown on the Plans.
4.Water Gates, complete in place, by the area in square feet, as determined in a ccordance with the details shown on the Plans.
5.End, braced line, and corner post assemblies as determined in accordance with the details shown on the Plans and the following: 707.09 709 a. Chain Link Fence: The Department will measure each assembly consisting of o ne post and one or more horizontal rails and one or more truss rods, as detailed on the Plans by the unit.
b.Stock Fences: The Department will measure each assembly consisting of one post, diagonal or horizontal braces and tie wires as detailed on the Pla ns, by the unit. The Department will consider excavation, backfilling, and concrete for anchors and post embedment to be incidental to the work. The Department will not measure projections or anchors beyond the end posts for payment.
707.09 Basis of Pay ment
The Department will pay for accepted quantities, complete in place, at the contract prices as follows: Item Pay Unit Fence (Description) Linear Feet Gate (Description) Each End, Braced Line, and Corner Post Assemblies (Description) Each Water Crossings Linear Feet Water Gates Square Feet Such payment is full compensation for all excavation, backfill, and all other incidentals necessary to complete the work. 708.01 710 SECTION 708 – MONUMENTS AND MARKERS
