          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Examine areas and conditions under which the work is to be installed, and notify the Contractor in writing, with a copy to the Owner and the Architect, of any conditions detrimental to the proper and timely completion of the work. Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Stake layout showing locations of gates and posts per submitted shop drawings.
          1.Contact "CALL BEFORE YOU DIG" prior to beginning any excavation work
 
          B.Contact applicable authorities and take necessary precautions prior to beginning any excavation work.
 
          3.3INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install fences in accordance with manufacturer's written instructions and in accordance with authorities having jurisdiction. Installation shall conform to the specifications referenced elsewhere in this Section and as indicated on the Drawings.
 
          B.Concrete Set Posts: Drill hole in firm soil. Posts holes will be a minimum of 36 inches ( mm) deep (environmental conditions or local codes may require a greater depth). Fence post shall be spaced 95 inches ( mm) plus or minus 1/4 inch ( 6 mm) on-center to accommodate installation of brackets on 2-1/2 inch (64 mm) square post. For non-level installations, the on-center post spacing must be measured along the grade.
 
          C.Refer to Division 3 for concrete specification. Recommend minimum 28 day compressive strength of 3,000 psi (20 MPa). Crown concrete at top to shed water.
 
          D.On-center post spacing per manufacturer's drawings.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete section if specifying a welded panel: Classic Residential; Classic Commercial; or Estate.
 
          E.For non-level installations the on-center post spacing must be measured along the grade. Ensure that fence sections are parallel to grade within 1/4 inch (6 mm) in 12 feet (3658 mm).
 
          F.Install brackets onto fence section and posts as indicated in manufacturer's printed instructions for specific fence style. Attach fence sections to brackets with approved fasteners and techniques to ensure that fence sections are parallel to grade within 1/4" in 12 feet.
 
          G.Install gate in accordance with manufacturer's printed instructions and approved signoff drawings. Do not mount gate from wall of a structure. Provide gate post on both sides of a gate. For double drive gate installation, provide concrete center drop to foundation depth and drop rod retainers at center. Lubricate to ensure smooth operation and verify proper latch operation.
 
          3.4CLEANING
 
          A.Remove cutting and drilling chips that are attached to the fencing, post, brackets, or additions to prevent corrosion.
 
          B.Repair scratches and other installation-incurred damage. Using a spray paint of the appropriate color that includes a zinc additive, repaint and seal any scratches or holes drilled in the fencing, post, brackets, or additions to prevent rust from forming. Clean up debris and unused material and remove from site.
 
          C.Clean up debris and unused material, and remove from site.
 
          3.5PROTECTION
 
          A.Protect finishes from damage during construction period with temporary protective coverings approved by manufacturer. Remove protective coverings at time of Substantial Completion.
 
          B.Restore finishes damaged during installation and construction period so no evidence remains of correction work. Return items that cannot be refinished in field to shop; make required alterations and refinish entire unit, or provide new units.
