DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

SCOPE OF CONTRACT

This contract requires surface supply, furnishing equipment on a fully operated basis, in good mechanical and operating condition and operated by competent operators, and experience in performing work of the nature required by this contract. The Contracting Officer will require a brief resume, in the event the operator has not previously operated a grader on the Custer Gallatin National Forest. The Contractor will provide all material, equipment, operating supplies, operators, supervision, and support functions necessary to perform the required work.

DESCRIPTION

The work to be accomplished is associated with road maintenance, which shall include but is not limited to;

blading, spot surfacing identified areas on roads, surfacing ruts, surfacing identified roads and reshaping/compacting one trailhead, as shown on maps and as staked on the ground. Furnish all labor, material, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies necessary to complete the work according to the contract.

LOCATION

Roads are located on the Sheyenne Ranger District, Dakota Prairie Grasslands. See attached maps.

SITE VISIT

No site visit is planned for this project. For additional contract information contact Curt Grudniewski at the

McKenzie Ranger District office in Watford City, ND (701)-842-8528.

SOIL MOISTURE

Equipment use may be suspended when soil moisture conditions are not favorable for obtaining a satisfactory result. Suitable moisture conditions are determined to be in excess of five percent and less than 15 percent by weight of the material being bladed unless otherwise authorized by the COR.

PERFORMANCE PERIOD REQUIREMENTS

Contract Time. Contract time will begin on the effective date of the Notice to Proceed. It shall continue until completion of the work contemplated by the Government or until closure of the work season because of moisture or other weather conditions, whichever is sooner. In the event the Contractor fails to accomplish the estimated units of work within the working days, and a need for the equipment still exists, the Government may allow the contract time to continue. Work shall be completed by June 1, 2019.

EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

The equipment to be used for Grading shall be a diesel, tandem drive motor grader, of at least 125HP and a minimum 12’ moldboard. Shall be equipped with a scarifier arm with a minimum of five teeth or Mounted

Hydraulic Rippers with a minimum of three teeth.

The motor grader shall be equipped with flashers or warning strobe light and a reflectorized “Slow Moving” vehicle emblem.

No older than 8 years unless approved by the Contracting Officer and Exhibit B is completed.

The water truck shall have a watertight tank of between 3,000 and 4,500-gallon capacity, provide for uniform and controlled application of water without ponding or washing, and be able to maintain positive control of water from the driver’s position at all times.

END PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Road grading consists of reshaping and finish-blading the road bed, including shoulders, turnouts and approaches, to restore the original cross section and grade. Work includes restoring drainage provisions of the road and road appurtenances such as ditches and rolling drain dips. Work also includes removing ruts, pot holes, washes, slough and other irregularities that prevent normal runoff from the road surface.

After grading, the roadway:

-shall have been bladed shoulder to shoulder

-shall be free of berms on both sides of the road

-shall be free of pot holes

-shall be free of any washboard surface

-shall be crowned 4-6% on ditched roads

-shall be out-sloped 1-3% on non-ditched roads

-surfacing or road fines will not have been wasted

-ditches shall have been pulled to remove slough, rocks and debris; Excess materials will have been moved across the road and deposited away from streams and off the roadway. Excess material is not to be “heeled” into the cut slope unless specifically approved by the Contracting Officer on a case by case basis.

-adjoining lead-in/lead-out ditches will have been cleaned and functioning

-finished surface will be free of rock greater than 3 inches (native surface) and 2 inches(aggregate surface) in any dimension

-shall have been dried or moisture added as required for mixing and compaction

It is anticipated that the routine grading of roads will require approximately 4 - 6 passes for an experienced operator to meet specifications. This does not include any needed ditch work.

The “by the mile” roads may require a higher level of effort than routine grading. These roads, as a result of high use by the public, develop deeper ruts, wash boarding, and potholes. Contractor shall blade these roads to the depth of the potholes (but not lower than surfacing, when present) and ensure a smooth finished surface without potholes, ruts, or wash boarding.

If it is anticipated that these roads will require 5 or more passes with the motor grader. Contractor shall remove half of the lift of gravel, reprocess and/or mix, and spread the lift again as part of the work. This does not include any needed ditch work.

Maintenance of existing features such as rolling dips and/or water bars will consist of restoring the structure to its original lines and grades.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Scope of Payment. Payment for all contract work is provided, either directly or indirectly, under the pay items shown in the bid schedule.

Direct payment. Payment is provided directly under a pay item shown in the bid schedule.
