801-F1 QUANTITY MEASUREMENT TERMS

801.01 Measurement Terms

1. U.S. Customary Units of measure are used in conjunction with these specifications.

2. The methods of measurement and computation will be those necessary to accurately determine the quantities of materials furnished and work performed.

3. All items, which are measured by the feet, will be measured parallel to its longitudinal centerline, unless otherwise shown on the drawings.

4. Miles will, in the absence of known distances from existing plans or surveys, be determined by the Government using a calibrated survey odometer or equal substitute operated on the traveled way at or parallel to road centerline.

5. The term "ton" means 2000 pounds. Trucks used to haul material measured by truck weight shall be weighed empty at least once daily, and each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark. Weigh tickets furnished by the Contractor from certified scales will be used to determine weight measurements.

6. Materials measured by the cubic yard in the hauling vehicle shall be measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles may be of any size or type, provided that the box is of such shape that the actual volume may be readily and accurately determined. The exception is spot rock surfacing which is measured as compacted in place.

7. The term "lump sum" when used in the Schedule of Items means the complete unit as required by or described in the contract.

8. Measurement will be made of each item or unit of work, as shown in the Schedule of Items, completed and accepted in accordance with the contract provisions, specifications, and drawings.

A road surface is maintained to standard when the surface is compact (when required), crowned, or sloped to drain, without segregation of the surfacing materials. The road surface has no ruts, rills or other irregularities & suitable materials have been recovered and incorporated. Unsuitable materials have been removed. Ditches and road surface drainage structures function efficiently.

When ordered by the Contracting Officer to work in a weed infested area the contractor will be required to prevent spreading the infestation into un-infested areas by cleaning equipment. The contractor will use wash stations approved by the Contracting Officer.

811.03 Location of Work

842-F1 ROADWAY VEGETATION MAINTENANCE (2/2/16) 1

SPECIAL PROJECT SPECIFICATION (2/16)

842-F1 ROADWAY VEGETATION MAINTENANCE

842.01 Service Required

Roadside Brushing:

Remove vegetation, trees < 6 inches diameter when measured at 6 inches above the ground and limbs by mechanical brushing and hand removal methods on roadway and roadside surfaces.

842.02 Performance Standard

Roadway vegetation maintenance is complete when the vegetation has been removed and scattered from the designated treatment area not to interfere with traffic, obscures signs, impedes the flow of water or diverts water from drainage structures.

842.03 Roadside Safety

Roadside Safety refers to providing safe conditions for the traveling public and adjacent public use or recreation during mechanical brushing operations. All efforts should be made to conduct activities safely for both the public and brushing operations.

Debris caused from brushing operations should be removed from roadway surface, road shoulder and drainage feature(s) in a safe, efficient, and timely manner.

Large debris shall be placed on the downhill fill slope and shall not interfere with drainage features and structures.

1240BE26Q0065

When the traveling public, either vehicular or pedestrian enter the immediate work-zone, all brushing operations should be stopped or minimized when practicable to provide safe access past mechanical brushing equipment.

When work occurs in limited visibility areas, efforts should be made to minimize conflicts with the traveling public, such as incorporating additional work signs, or utilizing a follow vehicle to warn the approaching public of the work zone, when required.

If hazardous situations are created or detected during brushing operations (for example broken limbs, damaged trees) these should be removed or reported prior to leaving the work site each day.

842.04

Support Vehicle Operations (When Ordered)

Provide awareness of approaching brushing activities to the traveling public by utilizing a follow vehicle.

Follow vehicles shall be equipped with two-way radios, properly charged and functioning, for communication with brushing equipment during mechanical brushing operations.

The top flashing light of the support vehicle needs to be activated while the brush tractor is performing brushing operations. Equip vehicles with a minimum of two red flags, 18� square, mounted on 3� long staffs, and an approved brush cutting operations ahead sign or equivalent mounted at the rear of the vehicle.

842.05 Location of Work

As specified on roads listed on the road listing, shown on the plans, marked on the ground or ordered by the Contracting Officer.
