The following establishes the required tasks and the minimum acceptable levels of service.

Item 0001 – 811-2 Surface Maintenance, Single Lane, Scarification required Item 0002 – 811-5 Roller Compaction, single lane road

811 Surface Maintenance

Roller compaction will be required on bladed Primary or Secondary Roads when listed as a separate pay item.

Watering of roads in conjunction with blading or rolling of Primary or Secondary Roads may be required if performed during dry season. If water is used, it will be applied to loose, already bladed or scarified materials to enhance compaction. If needed the Contractor is responsible for supplying the water and should be reflected in the Firm Fixed pricing.

Turnouts are typically located and spaced closely enough apart to be intervisible on single lane Primary Roads, and spacing averages between 400 feet and 800 feet apart. Turnout spacing on double lane Primary roads will average between 1000 feet and 1500 feet apart. Turnout spacing on

Secondary and Other Roads will average between 500 feet and 1000 feet apart.

881.05 PAYMENT:

Payment for mobilization will be authorized after line items 0001 and 0002 are completed.

Some turnouts may not have been routinely bladed in past cycles of road blading, and therefore require more shaping, smoothing, and removal of unsuitable materials than the adjacent traveled way.

Turnouts will be shaped and maintained to the full dimensions shown on the Plans wherever practicable.

811.01 SERVICE REQUIRED:

Smooth and shape native or aggregate surfaced roads including traveled way, shoulders, turnouts and intersections. Surface maintenance includes reshaping the crown or slope of traveled way, berms, and drainage dips. Scarification, compaction, or both may be required when shown on the ROAD LISTING.

811.02 PERFORMANCE STANDARD:

Roads

A road surface is maintained to standard when the travel way is free of washboards, potholes, or other irregularities. The surfacing material has been thoroughly loosened to no less than 2-inches depth or the depth of potholes or corrugations. The surface is smooth, and compact, without segregation of the surfacing materials. The surface is crowned or cross-sloped as indicated by the character of the existing subgrade, to at least ½-inch per foot of width, but not more than 1-inch per foot of width. Suitable materials have been recovered and incorporated.

Crowned or insloped road surfaces allow water to flow directly into ditches. Shoulders beyond the edges of the traveled way and turnouts have been shaped to allow drainage off and away from the road surface. Unsuitable materials have been removed from the traveled way and shoulders, placed outside the roadbed without concentration and without obstructing drainage ways or structures. When specified in the ROAD LISTING, unsuitable materials have been hauled and placed in designated disposal areas.

When specified in the ROAD LISTING, aggregate surfacing has been scarified to a depth of 4-inches to 6-inches prior to final shaping as described above.

When specified in the ROAD LISTING, water has been hauled and incorporated into the surfacing material to reduce segregation and/or to improve required compaction.

When specified in the ROAD LISTING, aggregate surfacing has been roller compacted following final shaping so that no visual displacement occurs from hauling or spreading equipment.

Shoulders along paved roads are maintained to standard when unsuitable material (soil, moss, gravel, and other debris) has been removed from paved surfaces within 3-feet of pavement edges on both sides of the road. Unpaved shoulders adjacent to paved surfaces have been maintained and shaped to provide a smooth transition from the paved surface and to allow drainage off and away from the road surface or into ditches. Shoulders without ditches are shaped for a minimum of 2-feet, up to 6-feet, from the pavement edge as necessary for drainage. Unsuitable materials have been removed from the shoulders. All unsuitable materials removed from paved surfaces and shoulders have been placed outside the roadbed without concentrations, without obstructing drainage ways or structures, and are not located where erosion can allow sediment delivery to streams. When specified in the ROAD LISTING, unsuitable materials have been hauled and placed in designated disposal areas.

842 Roadway Vegetation Maintenance

Pay items for cutting roadway vegetation are categorized as having either high volumes or low volumes of vegetation requiring treatment. The specific applicable pay item for each road in the Road Listing will be established by the Contracting Officer at the time of award.

o Typically, high volume vegetation roads have not been treated for more than seven years, have severely restricted sight distance due to vegetation encroachment, may have vegetation encroachment that contacts the sides of standard-sized highway vehicles, and may have small trees growing from within the traveled way.

o Typically, low volume vegetation roads have been treated within the last seven years, have only moderately or slightly restricted sight distance, or do not have any of the other typical conditions described for high volume vegetation roads for more than ten-percent of the road segment.

842.01 SERVICE REQUIRED:

Cutting all vegetative growth, including trees and other vegetation less than 5 inches in diameter measured 6 inches above the ground, on roadway surfaces and roadsides.

842.02 PERFORMANCE STANDARD:

A. General

1. Brush, trees and other vegetation are cut within each area treated to a maximum height of 6 inches above the ground surface or obstruction such as rocks or existing stumps. All limbs which extend into the treated area, or over the roadbed, to a height of 14 feet above the traveled way surface elevation have been removed.

2. Items to remain will be DESIGNATED ON THE GROUND.

3. Self-propelled equipment is not allowed on cut and fill slopes or in ditches.

4. Trees within the cutting limits, but outside the roadbed and ditch, which are over 5 inches measured at 6 inches above the ground have been limbed in lieu of cutting.

5. Limbed trees have limbs cut within 4 inches of the trunk.

6. There is minimal or no damage to trunks of remaining trees.

B. Cutting Side Vegetation

1. The treated area includes the road bed measured from the center line to each defined road edge, or to the bottom of the ditch on ditched road segments, plus an additional 4 feet on each side. Where there is no defined road edge or ditch, the treated area extends 12 feet from each side of the road center line.

2. Transitions between differing increments of cutting width have tapered lengths of not less than

50 feet and not more than 70 feet.

C. Debris

1. Materials resulting from the cutting operation in excess of 12 inches in length or 3 inches in diameter do not remain on roadway slopes within the treated area, in ditches, or within water courses.

2. Limbs and chunks in excess of 3 inches in any dimension do not remain on the traveled way or shoulders.

3. For road segments where slash reduction is identified in the ROAD LISTING as not required, materials are scattered beyond the roadbed, outside of the work area and drainages.

4. For road segments where slash reduction is identified in the ROAD LISTING as required, all materials are reduced in size to less than 12 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter by use of a masticator, mechanical chipper, or similar means. Resultant material is placed on cut slopes or outside of the work area but not in ditches or drainages. There are no accumulations of chips on steep cut slopes where the material will ravel into ditches.
