Road Maintenance, Mountaintop, Front Country and San Jacinto Ranger Districts, San Bernardino National Forest

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

The purpose of this contract is to provide road and drainage maintenance for five (16) roads and on three Ranger Districts of the San Bernardino National Forest. The final product will provide needed road maintenance and drainage maintenance to roads shown on the project maps.

This contract provides for the equipment, labor, and services necessary to perform work ordered by the Government for

94.16 miles of road blading and restoring existing drainage features in compliance with the terms, specifications, drawings and provisions of this contract.

Existing drainage features are in poor condition (rolling dips, lead off ditches) and will need to be re-established or re-shaped to get the road to drain in the best possible way. The existing road is in poor condition and is rutted and rocky.

A typical motor grader will not be acceptable due to the extremely rocky areas. Proposed work for 2N47, 3N22, 2N25, 3N34, and 3N34X must be estimated using a bulldozer. All other roads can be bladed with a motor grader.

This contract provides for the equipment, labor, material, and services necessary to perform work ordered by the Government for the installation of drop inlets, in compliance with the terms, specifications, drawings and provisions of this contract.

2.0 Background

The terrain can be relatively flat in a few areas and moderately hilly and steep in others. Soil conditions vary as well, from soft and sandy to compact and extremely rocky. All roads are native surfaced.

3.0 Location

The project is located on several different locations in the Front Country, Mountaintop, and San Jacinto Ranger Districts of the San Bernardino National Forest. A general Vicinity Map is included with this solicitation. San Bernardino National Forest maps are also available to assist in locating the individual roads and can be purchased at the Supervisors Office.

The office is open between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. The office is located at 602 S.

Tippecanoe Ave. San Bernardino, CA. 92879

The Government will not provide a pre-bid site meeting. All roads are open for review and highly suggested to be driven for existing condition. For additional information regarding the road conditions/project contact Chris SooHoo at
