  • This work item covers the removal of existing fencing and gates (all types) when worn out, and replacement with FS "standard quality"

  • This work item does not cover fence repair or routine maintenance, which should be considered to be O&M tasks

  • Recall this exercise is about valuation and consistency

  • Measure the linear feet to the nearest foot needing replacement and record on the form

  • The typical life cycle for fencing is 20 years if it is properly maintained.
