[4.0] SITE CIVILCIVIL WORKS

[4.1] Temporary Construction Fencing:Fence

In order to protect the site, on the periphery of the site,

We have 2 options:

Option 1: Fence

We have to excavate 420 m3 in order to install the linear footing for the anchoring poles every 2.5 m made by steel angles (doubles every 2 single ones). A reinforcement pole is done every 10 anchoring poles. The poles are 3m high, they are tied by Zimmerman mesh and barbed wire.

For the trucks’ entrance, we assume 2 steel gates: 5 m wide 3 m tall, on each side of the gate house.

Option 2: Boundary wall

5 | P a g e



An excavation of 650 m3 should be done for the linear footing for the boundary wall. A reinforced concrete column, 3m high, is built every 3m, tied with a reinforced concrete beam on top of the columns. A steel angle of 1.5m high is inserted in the beam aligned with the columns and tied by a barbed wire and Zimmerman mesh. The space between the columns is filled with armed masonry. The whole now formed wall is assumed to be plastered and painted.

For the trucks’ entrance, we assume 2 steel gates: 5 m wide 3 m tall, on each side of the gate house.

5.7 Area A

5.8 Road

In order to develop the service road, we assumed the site is rocky. So we don’t need more than 40 cm depth for the service road.

A total excavation of 7170 m3 of soil is to be made.

The following layers are to be applied as following:

5 cm of compacted wet sand, the 20 cm of well compacted medium-sized gravels layer, and then a total of 7cm quarry-run layer. On top we add an 8cm of bituminous asphalt layer for the finishing of the road.

5.9 Parking

5.10 Sidewalks

The sidewalk is considered on each side of the road all along. It consists of a raised poured concrete 1 meter wide ribbon constructed with cross-lying strain-relief grooves placed or sawn at regular intervals typically 1.5 m apart. The concrete blocks may be separated by expansion joints to allow for thermal expansion without breakage. The use of expansion joints in sidewalks may not be necessary, as the concrete will shrink while setting.

5.11 Gate

5.12 Guard house

[4.1.1] The Contractor shall erect 6 ft (1.8m) high continuous temporary construction fencing around the project site. The construction fencing shall be no higher than 6” (15.2cm) above grade and shall have one entrance gate for vehicles and pedestrians. For security purposes, both gates shall be next to each other to limit the access point to the construction site to only one location.

[4.1.2] The fencing shall be chain-link and shall be erected to withstand local wind conditions. Mesh size not to exceed 3” (76mm).

6 | P a g e



[4.1.3] An identification sign shall be posted on the fence displaying the Contractor’s name and primary contact numbers.

[4.1.4] The location and layout of the temporary construction fencing, including gate locations, will be annotated on the site/work plan and approved per the AF Form 66 prior to installation.

[4.1.5] If fencing panels are used, panels will be interconnected by metal hasps and may not be connected with plastic ties or ropes. The contractor shall submit the connection technique and material for government approval per the AF Form 66.

[4.1.6] The contractor will provide a means to secure the site. If a key lock is used, 3 additional copies of the keys will be provided to the Contracting Officer. (1 copy will be provided to Security Forces, 1 copy to ECES and 1 copy to the Fire Department.)

[4.1.7] The Contractor may trench under the temporary fence line for incoming utilities. If utilities trenches will not be closed within the same workday, the contractor must notify the Contracting Officer immediately to coordinate additional site security and Force Protection provisions. The Contractor may be directed to close the trench or provide a means to control access into and out of the site such as placing steel plates over the trench. The Government will not be held liable for the time delay to the project nor such costs that might be occurred to meet the additional security requirements for securing the trenches.
