811 BLADING (2/99)

1. DESCRIPTION

This work consists of surface blading native or aggregate roads to a condition to facilitate traffic and provide proper drainage. Blading includes shaping the crown or slope of traveled way, maintaining berms and drainage dips, and compacting the surface in accordance with this specification.

2. MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

a. Timing

Surface blading shall be performed during the contract period as ordered by the Government.

b. General

1. The existing traveled way and shoulders, including turnouts unless otherwise ordered, shall be bladed and shaped to produce a surface which is uniform, consistent to grade, and crowned or cross-sloped as indicated by the character of the existing surface unless otherwise Marked on the Ground, to at least one half inch (1/2") per foot of width, but not more than three quarter inch (3/4") per foot of width. Surfacing materials shall be thoroughly loosened to a depth of no less than 2 inches or the depth of potholes or corrugations. Corrugations are washboarding and similar defects.

Scarification to facilitate cutting to the full depth of potholes or corrugations may be elected by the Contractor but will be considered incidental to blading. Scarification shall not go deep enough to cause contamination of the surfacing.

2. When Section 891 is included in the Road Listing, the Contractor shall apply water during blading when sufficient moisture is not present to prevent segregation.

Water supply, hauling, and application shall be in accordance with Section 891 and shall be incidental to blading unless Pay Items for Section 891 are included in the Schedule of Items.

3. Existing native, rock or aggregate surfaced drainage dips shall be cleaned and shaped incidental to blading to divert surface runoff to existing outlet devices, ditches and discharge locations.

4. The Contractor shall establish a blading pattern which provides a uniform driving surface, retains the surfacing on the roadbed and provides a thorough mixing of the materials within the completed surface width. Upon final blading, no disturbed rock shall protrude more than two (2) inches above the adjacent surface unless otherwise provided in the contract. Material not meeting this dimension shall be removed and placed outside the roadbed so as not to obstruct drainage ways or structures. This material may be scattered off the roadbed if there is free drainage.

c. Routine Blading

1. Excess roadbed width shall be shaped only as needed to provide drainage away from the traveled way. Established grasses and other vegetation shall not be removed from the excess width except as incidental to providing drainage or unless otherwise provided in the contract.

d. Compaction

All roads bladed under this section shall be compacted using Method A. Compaction Method A is considered incidental to blading.

Compaction shall commence immediately following blading. Compaction methods are:

Compaction Method A: By breaking track while operating equipment on the bladed surface. Compaction shall cover the full width bladed surface.

Compaction Method B: 8-10 ton pneumatic, steel or equivalent vibrating roller, operated to cover the full width of the bladed surface two (2) times.

e. Intrusions

Where the minimum width of 12 feet is not available, the Contractor shall construct berms where ordered and marked on the ground. Material to provide berms will come from sources designated by the Government.

f. Undercutting

Roadway backslope shall not be undercut.

g. Intersections

1. Intersections with side roads which are not closed or restricted to vehicular use shall be bladed to assure smooth transitions.

2. Field evidence of closure or restrictions shall be considered to be signing, cross ditching in the road surface (traveled way), earth berms or other devices placed to discourage or eliminate use by passenger cars. Also, roads listed for work under Sections 835 or 838 shall be considered restricted.

3. Side roads listed for work under this Section shall be considered as not restricted.

h. Cleaning of Structures

Materials resulting from work under this Section shall not be allowed to remain on or in structures, such as bridges, culverts, cattleguards, drainage dips, aprons, or flumes.

i. Berms

Existing berms shall be maintained to the condition of adjacent segments when ordered by the Government.

j. Scarification

1. This work shall consist of destroying or breaking up old or damaged chip seal and dust oil surfaces and the loosening of native and pit run surfaces for blading and reshaping the road surface.

2. Scarification shall be accomplished by rippers spaced not more than 12 inches apart.

3. Scarification shall not penetrate the aggregate base to the subgrade. Where aggregate base is 3 inches or greater in depth, the minimum scaification depth shall be 3 inches.

3. MEASUREMENT

Measurement under this Section will be made by the total number of units for each item listed in the Schedule of Items completed and accepted.

a. Measurement for blading will be single-lane mile measured along the centerline of the roadway (see quantity measurement terms). Two-lane roads will be measured as two (2) single-lane miles. Measurement will be to the nearest one-tenth (0.1) mile.

b. Each intersection bladed under 2.g. will be equivalent to one-tenth (0.1) single-lane mile; however, when the intersecting side road is scheduled for subsequent blading under this Section, no measurement will be made.

c. Berm maintained or established will be measured by linear foot.

d. No measurement will be made under this Section for Compaction Method A.

Measurement for Compaction Method B will be the same as stated in 3.a for blading.

ROAD DISTRESS AND DAMAGE DEFINITIONS

1. Road Distress: Indicates maintenance must be performed as specified in maintenance specifications. If maintenance cannot be performed, use must be reduced or stopped until signs of distress are no longer present unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Forest Service.

A. Road distress indicators on gravel surfaces are:

i. Surface course deformities (potholes, soft spots, ruts, etc.) greater than

2" deep that can be repaired with incidental loads of aggregate.

ii. Drainage not functioning as designed (surface and/or structures).

iii. Slurry affecting traction or strength of road and not causing damage as defined under Environmental Damage below.

B. Road distress indicators on pavement are:

i. Any perceptible change in the pavement cross section or surface

(cracking, visible deflection, etc.) caused by contractor's operations.

ii. Drainage structures not functioning as designed.

2. Road Damage: Is a reduction in the ability of a road or structure to carry traffic that cannot be corrected by recurring maintenance methods. Use must be stopped and the road repaired unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Forest Service citing the appropriate contract provisions. Road damage exists when:

A. Load carrying ability of the road is reduced as a result of, but not limited to:

i. Subgrade pumping and/or contamination of surfacing by subgrade.

ii. Excessive soft spots, potholes, or ruts that result in subgrade deformation.

iii. Slurry exists in the roadway but is contained within the roadway or is draining on locations which are containing the sediment by use of biological or man-made erosion control filters.

B. Maintenance methods specified in the contract cannot repair the road.

C. Failure to maintain drainage causes loss of surfacing, saturation of subgrade layers, degradation of surface course, or erosion of fill slopes.

D. Use of asphalt road results in permanent deformation of pavement cross section or degradation of asphalt surface.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE: Is the displacement of soil material, resulting from contract operations, into intermittent or perennial streams that results in an increase in sediment. Environmental damage exists when all of the following occur:

A. Vehicular traffic causes displacement of fines through pumping, rutting or damage to drainage features creating sediment-laden water on or from the road surface.

B. Sediment laden water resulting from pumping of fines is reaching intermittent or perennial streams.

C. Sediment is visible and there is an increase in turbidity in streams occurring at points downstream from the outfalls of culverts, ditch lines, or fords. Haul will be permitted when facility or environmental damage will not result.

4. INVASIVE PLANTS: Certain Invasive plant species are an issue on San Bernardino

Mountain roads. All equipment should be cleaned and washed prior to entry to the forest. Equipment may be required to be cleaned after certain sections of roads have been worked to prevent spreading of certain invasive species. A record of cleaning is included in the contract.
