The specified mesh size is 200/16/30, with a zinc coating of 240 g/m²; posts must be 5 m apart on the “La Garganta” section and 5–7 m apart in the other named forests. Tensioners, necessary braces, and the specified anchoring and materials must be provided. Cutting or piercing elements, traps that prevent game from leaving, and electrically connected devices are prohibited. The completion period is 6 months; it may be extended in the circumstances described in the tender documents, including material shortages, rain or force majeure. The bidder must declare that it has the required financial and technical capacity and any necessary authorisations; precise qualification thresholds must be checked in the tender documents. The works must be carried out in compliance with environmental and forest-conservation requirements, with suitably competent and protected workers.
