Measures taken to ensure that off-road equipment is free of noxious weeds will be identified. “Off-road equipment” includes all equipment operating off of paved roadways. A Current list of noxious weeds of concern to Forest Service is available at the Forest Supervisor’s office, and can be obtained by the contractor upon request. Contractor shall clean off-road equipment prior to moving between project areas with known infestations with noxious weeds and other project areas, if any, which are free of such weeds. Contractor shall employ whatever cleaning methods are necessary to ensure that off-road equipment is free of noxious weeds. Equipment shall be considered free of soil, seeds, and other such debris when a visual inspection does not disclose such material. Disassembly of equipment components or specialized inspection tools is not required.

The Contractor shall notify Forest Service at least 24 hours prior to beginning of work in area designated as a noxious weed area, unless otherwise approved by CO. Notification shall include the location of the equipment’s most recent operations. If the prior location of the off-road equipment cannot be identified, Forest Service may assume that it was infested with noxious weed seeds. Upon request of Forest Service, Contractor must arrange with CO for Forest Service to inspect each piece of off-road equipment prior to it being placed into service. If Contractor desires to clean off-road equipment on National forest land, such as at the end of a project or prior to moving to a new unit that is free from noxious weeds, Contractor and Forest Service CO shall agree on methods of cleaning, locations for the cleaning, and control of off-site impacts, if any. New infestations of noxious weeds, of concern to Forest Service and identified by either Contractor or Forest Service, within the project area or on the haul route, shall be promptly reported to the other party.

C.9 BARRICADES, WARNING SIGNS, AND OTHER DEVICES

The Contractor shall provide, erect, and maintain all necessary barricades, suitable and sufficient lights, danger signals, signs, and other traffic control devices, and shall take all necessary precautions for the protection of the work and safety of the public. Roads closed to traffic shall be protected by effective barricades, and obstructions shall be illuminated during the hours of darkness. Suitable warning signs shall be provided to properly control and direct traffic.

The Contractor shall erect warning signs in advance to any place on the project where operations may interfere with the use of the road or trail by traffic and at all intermediate points where the new work crosses or coincides with an existing road or trail. All road barricades, warning signs, lights, temporary signals, flagmen and pilot car operators and equipment, and other protective devices, except for special devices, shall conform to Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways, published by the Federal Highway Administration and applicable safety codes.

The Contractor shall furnish, erect, maintain, and remove when notified, four project information signs. Sign details and installation shall conform to the (MUTCD) standards for temporary signs on a rural highway. A sign plan shall be submitted to the CO for approval prior to fabrication or installation of the signs. Specific locations shall be designated by the COR prior to installation. All signs shall be installed prior to commencing on-site work.

Trenches and other hazards shall be signed and flagged in such a way that the public will be aware of the hazard.
