SPECIFICATION FOR PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION
4. CONSTRUCTION
4.1 Fences
This shall include work done on all fences on the right-of-way which it may be
necessary to cut to permit passage of equipment onto or along the right-of-way. All fences which have
been cut shall be closed with gates constructed as set out in the drawings and in a manner acceptable
to the OWNER.
4.1.1 CONTRACTOR, having first ascertained from OWNER that permission has been secured from
the property owner, shall furnish materials for and shall install a suitable, substantial gate or gap in
every fence at the point of intersection of the proposed pipeline with the fence for access to land
crossed by the line and for passage of construction equipment. Before cutting the fences to make
these gates or gaps, CONTRACTOR shall brace and reinforce the fences on each side of the gap to
be opened, in order to prevent damage to said fences. Gates or gaps shall be constructed that they
can be securely closed and shall be the type specified by OWNER and shall satisfy land owner and
tenant.
CONTRACTOR shall furnish a watchman to maintain these gates where necessary to prevent
livestock from entering or leaving the property or in any other instance where required by OWNER.
CONTRACTOR will use only such roads through farms as are designated by property owners.
4.1.2 CONTRACTOR shall furnish all wire, posts, nails, or other equipment for construction of

provisions included in the right-of-way easements secured by OWNER; and CONTRACTOR shall
comply with these provisions. Where the right-of-way passes over or through farm yards, groves,
orchards, gardens, lawns, ditches, canals, or similar valuable property, then only that amount of rightof-way
necessary for actual ditching and laying of pipe shall be used; and the CONTRACTOR shall
perform the work in such places so as to minimize the damages and if necessary shall hand ditch or
tunnel through such places.
