The fencing should be made of a durable, UV-resistant, continuous glass fiber reinforced, flame retardant, thermosetting composite material. The fence system should meet the 2022 Oregon Structural Specialty Code and have a minimum STC rating of 30. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
• The fence system should have a minimum flexural modulus of 4,000,000 psi and a minimum flexural strength of 100,000 psi.
• The structural plank component of the fence should have a minimum tensile strength of 90,000 psi and a minimum compressive strength of 75,000 psi.
• The fence system should be able to resist a 95 kV potential with a current leakage of 2 milliamps or less.
• The fence system should have a maximum flame spread index of 25 or less when tested in accordance with ASTM E84.
• The contractor should have at least 10 years of experience in the design and manufacture of fiberglass reinforced plastic systems.
• The contractor should provide references for at least three projects within the past 5 years where the proposed materials were used on electric substation projects.
