Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document outlines specifications and inspection guidelines for the construction of cattle guards, which are a component of the overall project.

• Construction Requirements: Cattle guards must be constructed according to project plans, appropriate Standard Drawings, or special details. The scope includes furnishing materials and constructing new or reconstructing existing cattle guards.
• Drainage and Installation: Completed cattle guards must be well-drained, constructed to specified grade and cross slope, and ensure a bump-free, smooth riding installation. Any errors causing bumps must be corrected.
• Inspection Guidelines: A checklist of five items for inspecting completed cattle guards:
  1. Availability of material certifications and Certificate of Compliance for precast units.
  2. Confirmation that steel parts are primed.
  3. Verification of backfill material compaction to at least 95% of maximum density.
  4. Confirmation that concrete has been finished and cured per specifications.
  5. Verification that the grade and cross slope conform to the finished pavement surface.

This document provides critical technical specifications and quality control requirements for cattle guards. Bidders must understand these requirements to accurately estimate costs, plan construction activities, and ensure compliance during project execution. The inspection guidelines highlight key quality assurance points that will likely be assessed during project oversight.
