419 tie wires or clips. A sufficient qu antity of individual fabric ties or clips shall be furnished to provide for attaching the fabric to line posts at twelve ( 12) inch vertical spaces. 608.8 -PAINTS AND PAINTING : Zinc-coated, triple -coated and aluminum -coated metal parts in the fence structure shall not be painted. After erection is completed, all fence construction will be inspected by the Engineer. All parts of the fence and gates (including bolts and nuts) from which the coating has been abraded so that the base metal is exposed shall be spot -painted with a zinc rich primer in the case of zinc - coated and triple -coated steel and with aluminum paint in the case o f aluminum -coated steel. Wood posts and braces shall be painted when called for on the Plans. 608.9 -ELECTRICAL GROUNDS : All types of fences shall be grounded where a power line passes over the fence. The ground shall be installed immediately below the point of crossing. The ground shall be accomplished with a copper clad rod, eight ( 8) feet long and 5/8 inch (nominal) in diameter, driven vertically until the top is approximately six (6) inches below the ground. A # 6 solid copper conductor shall be clamped to the rod and to the fence in such a manner that each element of the fence is grounded. Similar grounds shall be installed at a maximum of every 2,000 feet length of fence, whether or not there a re power line crossings. For sections of fence less than 2,000 feet one ground shall be provided midway between the end posts.
608.10 Junctions With Existing Fences :
Where the right -of-way fence intersects or joins existing fence, the Contractor shall make the junction between the fences in the manner specified. An end post corresponding in strength to the type used in the right -of-way fence shall be set on the line of the existing fence and approximately four ( 4) inches outside the centerline of the highway right -of-way fence. Existing fencing fabric, or similar, shall be stretched and tied to this end po st in conformance with the construction requirements for the right -of-way fence. No direct connection shall be made between the existing fence and the highway right -of-way fence. All junctions shall be made in a workmanlike manner and will be subject to the approval of the Engineer.
608.11 Temporary Fence :
Temporary fence, when called for as a separate bid item, shall be erected at locations as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall set back and re -erect existing fences, erect temporary fences from salvaged fence material, or erect Electric fences at the direction of the Engineer.
608.12 Method of Measurement :
Fence will be measured by the linear foot. Measurement will be along the bottom wire of the fence from outside to outside of end posts for each continuous run of fence. The lengths occupied by gates will not be included in this measurement. For farm -field fence with wood posts, the distance between posts for each intermediate assembly will be measured only once; the lap in the fencing fabric at intermediate assemblies will be included in the cost of the fence. Temporary fence and gates, subject to the p rovisions specified, will be measured along the bottom of the fence from outside to outside of end posts for each continuous run of fence. Gates, except when used when temporary fence, will be measured as complete units of the size and type specified.
608.13 Basis of Payment :
The accepted quantities of fencing materials will be paid for at the contract unit price per linear foot (meter) for fence and per each for gates of the types and sizes specified, complete in place. This price will include the cost of clearing, grubbing, excavating, trenching, concrete footings, backfilling, drilling in rock, grouting posts in place, painting, electrical grounds, connections to existing fences where requ ired, furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the work. When a separate bid item for temporary fence or gate is not provided for in the Contract, there will be no compensation for constructing such a fence or gates and the cost will be included in the unit price bid for permanent right -of-way fence.

Division 700 — :
MATERIAL SUBSECTION Asphalt Plastic Cement 708.9 Bed Course Material 704.6 – Class 1 or Class 3 Expansion Joint Filler (Preformed) 708.1, 708.2 Joint Sealing Material 708.3 Sand 702.2 Concrete shall meet the requirements of 601, Class B, or 501. 609.2.1 -Detectable Warning Surfaces: Detectable warning panels shall have a detectable warning surface meeting Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facility in Public Right of Way (PROWAG), latest edition, requirements. The panel dimensions shall not deviate more than 1/16 in ch The panel colors shall be as shown in the plans or as approved by the Engineer. The panel shall contrast visually with adjacent gutter, street or highway, or curb ramp surface, either light -on-dark or dark -on-light. The panels shall be textured to provide a slip resistant surface. There shall be two types of warning surfaces: panels for fresh concrete surfaces while the concrete is stil l plastic and panels for cured concrete surfaces. Mold -in-place concrete domes, brick pavers, tiles, or iron or steel warning systems shall not be used. Detectable warning panels must be approved and on the WVDOH Approved Products List. The material appr oval for detectable warning panels will be based on results from WVDOH field evaluation tests or based on actual performance on WVDOH projects. All materials to be used shall be covered by a 5 year manufacturer warranty under normal conditions. 609.2.2 -Quality Control Testing: Quality control of bed course material is the responsibility of the Contractor as specified in subsection 106.1. The Contractor shall maintain necessary equipment and qualified personnel to perform all sampling and testing necessary to determine the magnitude of the various properties of the material governed by the Specifications and shall maintain these properties within the limits of the Specifications. The Contractor shall submit a quality control plan detailin g the methods by which the quality control program will be conducted. This plan, prepared in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the appropriate portions of MP 307.00.50, shall be submitted to the Engineer at the preconstruction conference. The w ork shall not begin until the plan is reviewed for conformance with the contract documents.
