1.0 - Scope of Work

This project is located on the Shasta McCloud Management Unit (SMMU) in the McCloud

Ranger District, specifically on Forest Road 43N15 Harris Spring (FA 15).

The scope of this project entails repairing roads damaged by the Antelope Fire and suppression activities on forest roads and features. The work involves asphalt road repair, road reconditioning, vegetation removal, and aggregate surfacing. The repair of the roads aims to restore them to a functional state for public use, ensuring safety and usability through necessary repairs and alterations, with a focus on restoring drainage to ditches, culverts, and other drainage features.

Base Work Mobilization

Includes mobilization and demobilization to and from the project locations. This item also includes fire protection, equipment cleaning, permits, and incidentals.

Clearing and Grubbing

This work consists of clearing and grubbing within the designated limits outlined in the plans.

Construct erosion control measures as needed. Perform work within designated limits of the

Right-of-Way. Do not damage vegetation designated to remain. If damage occurs, repair or replace the vegetation in an acceptable manner approved by the COR. Where possible, preserve vegetation adjacent to bodies of water. Treat cuts or scarred surfaces of trees and shrubs with tree wound dressing. Grub deep enough to remove stumps, roots, buried logs, moss, turf, or other vegetative debris to create a smooth native surface. This includes removing the roots and shaping to a smooth surface. Clean all debris from the travel way, leaving a clean and neat appearance.

Ensure debris are clear from drainage features. Disposal is scatting unless otherwise stated in plans.

Reconditioning and Compacting

Right-of-Way. Do not damage vegetation designated to remain. If damage occurs, repair or replace the vegetation in an acceptable manner approved by the COR. Where possible, preserve vegetation adjacent to bodies of water. Treat cuts or scarred surfaces of trees and shrubs with tree wound dressing. Grub deep enough to remove stumps, roots, buried logs, moss, turf, or other vegetative debris to create a smooth native surface. This includes removing the roots and shaping to a smooth surface. Clean all debris from the travel way, leaving a clean and neat appearance.

Aggregate Base

This work consists of constructing one or more courses of aggregate on a prepared surface for use as a wearing surface of the travel way and compacting and shaping the roadbed according to the established line, grade, and cross-section needed with proper moisture content or as stated in the plans. Work includes full width in designated areas and must meet Forest Service

Specification 703.05. Compaction is required.

Temporary Traffic Control

This work consists of furnishing, installing, maintaining, relocating, and removing temporary traffic control devices and services as ordered for the control and protection of public traffic through the project. Advance warning arrow boards, barricades, and warning light types are designated in the MUTCD. Allow traffic through the project with minimal delays and when it is safe. Signs and warnings must be placed ahead of the work area in both directions. All equipment must be in survivable condition. Provide a plan to CO and COR before work begins.

Ditch Reconditioning

Reconditioning of ditches includes establishing positive water drainage to other drainage features, such as culverts, and will be free and clear of vegetation or other debris. Work includes reconstructing existing ditches or clearing existing ditches from sediment or other natural materials.

Pavement Patching

Pavement patching work is to be performed in accordance with specifications within FP-14 or

FP-24 Section 418 and notes within the plans. This work consists of repairing distressed areas of asphalt or chip seal. Refer to plans for areas of work and volume to be completed. The work will be compacted flush with the existing surface. Tack coat application is required. Patches shall not be less than 2.5 inches thick.

1. **Supplemental Direction for Contractors:**

a. Prior to commencing pavement patching, ensure that the area is clean and free of debris.

b. Apply a tack coat uniformly over the area to be patched to ensure proper adhesion.

c. Use appropriate equipment to ensure that patched areas are compacted flush with the existing surface.

d. Monitor weather conditions to avoid performing patching in adverse weather that may affect adhesion and curing.
