PROJECT LOCATIONS

The road reconditioning and maintenance is located on the Santa Fe NF in New Mexico. Forest Service roads are predominately native or aggregate surfaced and can be in remote locations. Roads are listed in the attached Drawings and highlighted in the attached Maps. The work is located in the following counties: Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Mora, and Los Alamos.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The maintenance and reconstruction shall maintain the road prism and drainage to allow a prudent driver to safely negotiate the road in a passenger car. Contractor shall utilize existing turnouts or roads as turnaround points to minimize resource damage with all vehicles and equipment to the greatest extent possible.

1. Roadway Reconditioning

Road maintenance shall include reshaping roadway to create a road template with appropriate out-slope, in-slope, or crown construction with compaction as specified. The enclosed video link under Specifications provides a visual description of the following contract requirements.

The crown and/or slope of the road shall be maintained according to the Drawings and Specifications. If a change from the existing road prism is needed, the COR will flag those locations in the field. Maintenance operations shall not widen the traveled way unless specifically instructed otherwise by the CO. All berms generated shall be removed from the shoulders and all suitable material shall be incorporated into the traveled way surface. Existing berms shall be removed unless otherwise agreed, incorporating suitable material into the traveled way. Turnouts shall also be included with the blading of the road surface. Berms caused by road maintenance operations shall be removed from the traveled way prior to the end of each day's work.

The blading shall proceed in an orderly fashion by successive passes with graders parallel to the road centerline, progressing from the lower side to the upper side of the roadbed and back across. In the process, shoulder material shall be cut and removed to prevent vegetation encroachment.

On native surface roads, all corrugations, depressions, and washouts shall be removed by scarifying or cutting below such defects. Fines accumulated in blading roads or from drainage ditches shall not be wasted over fill shoulders or in ditches.

On aggregate surface roads, all corrugations, depressions, and washouts shall be removed by scarifying or cutting below the defect on the aggregate surface. If the defect reaches into the roadbed, the Contractor shall preserve surfacing material prior to scarifying or cutting below the defect and then subsequently replace surfacing material after repair has been accomplished.

Rocks, woody debris, or other material larger than three (3) inches remaining on the traveled way after the final blading shall be disposed of by side-casting unless otherwise shown on the drawings. Side-casting into streams, lakes or water courses shall not be permitted.

The roadbed immediately before and after cattleguards and bridges shall be bladed in such a manner as to create a smooth transition. Material shall not be deposited inside cattleguards or onto bridges. Any material deposited on bridge decks, including any accumulated material, shall be removed from bridge decks.

Intersecting roads shall be bladed for fifty (50) feet to ensure proper transitioning of the two riding surfaces.

Cleaning culverts and related items such as catch basins, outlet ditches, trash racks, drop inlets, headwalls, aprons, and riprap shall be incidental to roadway reconditioning. Drainage structures and related items shall be cleared of all foreign material and all vegetative growth which interferes with the flow pattern.

Grass or other vegetative material that does not interfere with the flow shall be left in place. Culverts which have silted into a depth of one-quarter (1/4) of their opening height or more shall have their inlet and outlet cleaned as well as three

(3) feet of the upper and lower ends of the inside cleaned out to expose the full diameter of the culvert. If debris is lodged in the culvert to the extent it cannot be cleaned manually, the CO shall be notified of the location within 5 working days for a final determination of corrective measures to be taken.

Unless otherwise shown on the drawings, catch basins shall be cleared of material to the bottom of the invert of the culvert and at least eighteen (18) inches horizontally towards the backslope or the width of the basin, whichever is greater.

The backslope shall be cleaned of loose material ensuring the slope is not increased or undercut. Inlet channel transition from the ditch line to the catch basin shall be cleaned. Material removed, if suitable, shall be blended into existing native or aggregate road surfaces or shoulders. On aggregate surfaced roads, care must be taken to ensure unsuitable material is not mixed into the existing aggregate. Unsuitable material shall be disposed of by side-casting unless otherwise shown on the drawings; side-casting into streams, lakes or water courses shall not be permitted.

2. Ditch Reconditioning

This work shall include the removal and disposal of all slough material and debris from drainage ditches, outlet ditches, and lead-off ditches to provide a hydrologically sound, unobstructed, and free-draining ditch. Ditch reconditioning locations will be staked by the COR. Ditches shall be cleaned to conform to previous line, grade, and cross section. Contractor shall ensure positive drainage is established. Vegetative growth that interferes with the flow pattern shall be removed; however, vegetation shall be left in place provided drainage is not obstructed. Cleaning is not required on ditches that provide drainage and are free of debris larger than four (4) inches in any direction. Suitable material may be worked into traveled way; unsuitable material shall not be blended into or bladed across the existing road surface or shoulder. Limbs and wood chunks in excess of four (4) inches in any direction shall be removed from ditches and placed outside clearing limits. On aggregate surfaced roads, care must be taken to ensure unsuitable material is not mixed into the existing aggregate. Unsuitable material shall be disposed of by side-casting unless otherwise shown on the drawings. Side-casting into streams, lakes or water courses shall not be permitted.

3. Cattleguard Cleaning

Any cattleguard encountered with less than 12” of clearance from bottom of rails to material inside shall be cleaned out. The cleaned cattleguard shall be free of dirt and debris to a minimum depth of two (2) feet below the bottom of rails or to the base, depending on type of cattleguard. Where there are existing ditches, cleaning shall include removing material from the ditch to provide for drainage through the installation. Wildlife consideration shall include an escape route for small animals who may become entrapped. A dirt or rock (angular, greater than 4” diameter) ramp shall be placed in one corner of the cattle guard, not interfering with cattle guard function. Removed materials shall be disposed of outside the clearing limits and away from any streams, lakes, or water courses. If the deck is required to be removed to facilitate repair or cleaning and there is no bypass, delay for traffic shall not exceed two (2) hours contingent on at least two (2) business days advance notice to the CO for the planned work and all required traffic control including signs are in place. Roadbed and surfacing materials disturbed by the Contractor’s operations shall be conserved separately, replaced, and compacted to conform to the adjacent roadbed material, ensuring a smooth transition to the maintained cattleguard. Loose rails shall be welded or bolted back in place. Ruptured welds and localized cracks shall be rewelded. The Government may furnish replacement material for damaged or defective cattleguard components. Notify CO as soon as practicable if a cattleguard component is unable to be repaired.

Contractor-provided expertise and methods to establish weed-free status must be appropriate for the weeds of concern in the local area.

A Forest Service weed specialist will inspect proposed sources to determine weed-free status. Provide the Contracting Officer written notification of proposed material sources thirty (30) days prior to use. Written approval of the specific source will be provided to the contractor by the CO. If weed species are present in the proposed source, appropriate mitigation measures may allow conditional use of the source as required by the Contracting Officer.

106 - Acceptance of Work 106.01_National_7_18_2017

Delete Subsection 106.01 and replace with the following:

106.01 Conformity with Contract Requirements.

Follow the requirements of FAR Clause 52.246-12 Inspection of Construction.

References to standard test methods of AASHTO, ASTM, GSA, and other recognized standard authorities refer to the methods in effect on the date of solicitation for bids.

Perform all work to the lines, grades, cross-sections, dimensions, and processes or material requirements shown on the plans or specified in the contract.

Incorporate manufactured materials into the work according to the manufacturer’s recommendations or to these specifications, whichever is more strict.

Plan dimensions and contract specification values are the values to be strived for and complied with as the design values from which any deviations are allowed. Perform work and provide material that is uniform in character and reasonably close to the prescribed value or within the specified tolerance range. The purpose of a tolerance range is to accommodate occasional minor variations from the median zone that are unavoidable for practical reasons.

When standard manufactured items are specified (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits, etc., that are identified by gauge, unit mass, section dimensions, etc.), the identification will be considered to be nominal masses or dimensions. Unless specific contract tolerances are noted, established manufacturing tolerances will be accepted.

The Government may inspect, sample, or test all work at any time before final acceptance of the project. When the Government tests work, copies of test reports are furnished to the Contractor upon request. Government tests may or may not be performed at the work site. If Contractor testing and inspection is verified by the Government, the Contractor’s results may be used by the Government to evaluate work for acceptance. Do not rely on the availability of Government test results for process control.

Acceptable work conforming to the contract will be paid for at the contract unit bid price. Four methods of determining conformity and accepting work are described in Subsections 106.02 to 106.05 inclusive. The primary method of acceptance is specified in each Section of work. However, work may be rejected at any time it is found by any of the methods not to comply with the contract.

Remove, repair, or replace work that does not conform to the contract, or to prevailing industry standards where no specific contract requirements are noted. Removing, repairing, or replacing work; providing temporary traffic control; and any other related work to accomplish conformity will be at no cost to the Government.

(a) Disputing Government test results. If the accuracy of Government test results is disputed, promptly inform the CO. If the dispute is unresolved after reasonable steps are taken to resolve the dispute, further evaluation may be obtained by written request. Include a narrative describing the dispute and a proposed resolution protocol that addresses the following:

1. Sampling method;

2. Number of samples;

3. Sample transport;

4. Test procedures;

5. Testing laboratories;

6. Reporting;

7. Estimated time and costs; and

8. Validation process.

If the evaluation requires additional sampling or testing be performed, mutually agree with the Government on witnessing procedures and on sampling and testing by a third party laboratory. Use a third party laboratory accredited by the AASHTO accreditation program. Provide proof of the laboratory’s accreditation for the test procedures to be used. Do not use the same laboratory that produced the disputed Government test results or that produced the test results used as a basis for the dispute.

The CO will review the proposed resolution protocol and may modify it before final approval and execution.

The Government will use the approved resolution protocol test results to determine the validity of the disputed testing. If the Government test results are validated, the Contractor will be responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol. If the Government test results are not validated, the Government will be responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol.

If the validity of the Government test results cannot be determined, the Contractor and Government will equally share all costs associated with developing and carrying out the resolution protocol.

(b) Alternatives to removing and replacing non-conforming work. As an alternative to removal and replacement, the Contractor may submit a written request to:

1. Have the work accepted at a reduced price; or

2. Be given permission to perform corrective measures to bring the work into conformity.

The request must contain supporting rationale and documentation.
