ROAD MAINTENANCE T-SPECIFICATIONS FOR STEWARDSHIP CONTRACTS

Contractor shall maintain roads in accordance with the following Contract Road Maintenance Requirements Summary:

Contractor will be responsible for doing all pre, during and post haul road maintenance with no compensation from the Forest Service.

T-SPECIFICATIONS

T-SPEC NUMBER SPECIFICATION TITLE

T-803 Surface Blading T-804 Opening and Maintaining Roads T-811 Closing Roads

SPECIFICATION DEFINITIONS

Wherever the following terms are used in the Road Maintenance Specifications, the meaning shall be:

Base Course. Material placed on the Subgrade to distribute concentrated wheel loads.

Borrow. Select Material taken from designated borrow sites.

Crown, Inslope, and Outslope. The cross slope of the Traveled Way to aid in drainage and traffic maneuverability.

Culverts. A conduit or passageway under a road, trail, or other obstruction. A culvert differs from a bridge in that it is usually entirely below the elevation of the Traveled Way.

Drainage Dip. A dip in the Traveled Way which intercepts surface runoff and diverts the water off the Traveled Way. A Drainage Dip does not block the movement of traffic.

Drainage Structures. Manufactured structures which control the runoff of water from the Roadway including Inslope, overside drains, aprons, flumes, downdrains and downpipes.

During Haul Maintenance. Road maintenance work to be accomplished during the period of timber removal.

Geotextile. A group of construction fabrics with varying attributes designed for different purposes.

Lead-off Ditches. A ditch used to transmit water from a Culvert, Drainage Structure or Drainage Dip outlet to the natural drainage area.

Maintenance Activity. Items of work leading to the restoration and upkeep of a road and necessary to sustain the road's anticipated traffic.

Material. Any substance specified for use in the performance of the work.

Post Haul Maintenance. Road maintenance work to be accomplished after timber removal is completed.

Prehaul Maintenance. Road maintenance work to be accomplished prior to the roads use. Roads receiving prehaul maintenance shall be shown on the Sale Area Map.

Road Maintenance Cost. An estimate of the cost to perform road maintenance activities; as determined by the Forest Service. Estimates may include any or all of the work activities listed in Section 4, Road Maintenance Activity Specifications.

Roadbed. The portion of a road between the intersection of Subgrade and sideslopes, excluding that portion of the ditch below Subgrade.

Roadside. A general term denoting the area adjoining the outer edge of the Roadway.

Roadway. The portion of a road within the limits of excavation and embankment.

Sand Hole. A hole that develops in the running surface of the road which is quite soft and dangerous in nature. Usually found in very sandy soils.

Shoulder. That portion of Roadway contiguous with Traveled Way for accommodation of stopped vehicles, for emergency use, and lateral support of Base and Surface Course, if any.

Slide. A concentrated deposit of materials from above or on backslope extending onto the Traveled Way or Shoulders, whether caused by mass land movements or accumulated raveling.

Slough. Material eroded from the backslope which partially or completely blocks the ditch but does not encroach on the Traveled Way so as to block passage of traffic.

Slump. A localized portion of the Roadbed which has slipped or otherwise become lower than that of the adjacent Roadbed and constitutes a hazard to traffic.

Subgrade. Top surface of Roadbed upon which Base Course or Surface Course is constructed. For roads without Base Course or Surface Course, that portion of Roadbed prepared as the finished wearing surface.

Surface Course. The Material placed on the Base Course or Subgrade to enhance traction, distribute concentrated wheel loads and resist abrasion and the effects of climate. Surface Course may be referred to as surfacing.

Traveled Way. That portion of Roadway, excluding Shoulders, used for the movement of vehicles.

Turnouts. That portion of the Traveled Way constructed as additional width on single lane roads to allow for safe passing of vehicle

SPECIFICATION T-803 SURFACE BLADING

DESCRIPTION

1.1 Surface blading consists of keeping a native or aggregate surface Roadbed in a condition to facilitate traffic and provide proper drainage. It includes maintaining the Crown or Slope of the Traveled Way, Shoulders, Drainage Dips, all drainage ditches, Turnouts, Berms, and approach road intersections; also cleaning bridge decks. It also provides a level of smoothness appropriate for the traffic served.

MATERIALS

2.1 Water. When required, water shall be applied according to the requirements in Specification T-807 during scarifying and/or blading if sufficient moisture is not present to cut, mix, or compact the surface Material. Water Sources will be shown on the project area map, or designated by the designated Forest Service official. The requirement will be listed in C/CT5.31# or K/KT-F/FT.3.1#, when applicable.

REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Surface blading shall be performed immediately before, during, and after Purchaser's use as often as necessary to facilitate traffic and proper drainage.

3.2 Surface irregularities shall be eliminated by scarification and/or blading, and the surface left in a free draining state and to a smoothness needed to facilitate traffic. The surface blading shall preserve the existing cross-section. Surface Material which has been displaced to the Shoulders or Turnouts shall be returned to the Traveled Way. The blading operation shall be conducted to prevent the loss of surface Material and to provide for a thorough mixing of the Material being worked.

3.3 When directed by the designated Forest Service official, residual bituminous material from previous surface-stabilization treatments shall be scarified and reduced to produce material not exceeding 3 inches (76.2 mm) in greatest dimension.

3.4 Roadway backslopes or Berms shall not be undercut, nor shall new Berms be established unless agreed to, in writing, by the designated Forest Service official. Berms shall be repaired by placing Material, as needed to restore the Berm, to reasonably blend with existing line, grade, and cross-section. Other berms, which are determined by the designated Forest Service official as unnecessary, shall be removed.

3.5 Intersecting roads shall be bladed for a reasonable distance to assure proper blending of the two riding surfaces.

3.6 Drainage Dips and all Ditches shall be cleaned and maintained to reasonably blend with existing line, grade, and cross-section and to provide positive drainage.

3.7 On native surfaced roads, Material generated from backslope Sloughing, and ditch cleaning may be blended with the surface Material being worked. On aggregate surfaced roads this Material shall not be blended with Surface or Base Course Material unless agreed to, in writing, by the designated Forest Service official.

3.8 Rocks or other Material remaining on the Traveled Way after the final pass that are larger than 4 inches in diameter or are larger than the maximum size of imported surfacing shall be removed from the

Traveled Way. Unless otherwise designated by the designated Forest Service official, the oversized Material shall be disposed of by sidecasting. Sidecasting into streams, lakes, or water courses shall not be permitted.

3.9 Material and/or debris resulting from work under this specification shall not remain on or in structures, such as Culverts, bridge decks, overside drains, cattleguards, ditches, Drainage Dips, and the like.

3.10 Compaction. When required, the roadbed shall be compacted according to one of the following compaction methods, as listed in C/CT5.31# or K/KT-F/FT.3.1#:

Compaction Method A - Operate equipment over the full-width until there is no visible evidence of further consolidation. Compaction Method B - Use compression-type or vibratory rollers. Compact, full width, to at least 95 percent of the maximum density. Determine the in-place density and moisture content according to AASHTO T 310 or other approved test procedures. When required, use AASHTO T 224 to correct coarse particles.

3.11 Grid Rolling. When required, the roadbed shall be grid rolled as listed in C/CT5.31# or K/KTF/ FT.3.1#. Unless otherwise agreed by the designated Forest Service official, grid-rolling will continue until roadbed imported surfacing-materials are reduced to a size not exceeding 3 inches (76.2 mm) in greatest dimension or two-thirds of the depth of the existing surfacing, whichever is greater.

SPECIFICATION T-804 OPENING AND MAINTAINING ROADS

DESCRIPTION

1.1 Opening and Maintaining Roads consists of opening roads by removing closure devices, cleaning ditches and other drainage devices built into the roadway, removing berms, and blading the traveled-way. This work also consists of maintaining the roadway immediately before, during, and after the Purchaser's use as necessary to facilitate traffic and proper drainage.

REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Closure devices, such as waterbars, depressions, mounds of earth, or downed-trees, shall be removed and disposed of at locations designated by the designated Forest Service official.

3.2 All trees and logs on the roadbed, and trees and brush that overhang the traveled-way and interfere with vehicle travel shall be removed and scattered outside the roadway.

3.3 All drainage features including drainage-dips, ditches, roadway cross-slope, and other drainage devices built into the roadway shall be cleaned and maintained so they are functional.

3.4 Berms shall be removed as directed by the designated Forest Service official, and the traveled-way shall be bladed to produce a smooth rideable surface.

SPECIFICATION T-811 CLOSING ROADS

DESCRIPTION

1.1 Closing roads consists of closing roads by restoring or installing closure-devices and drainage-facilities on roads no longer needed by the Purchaser or when interim closures are required during periods of Purchaser's non-use.

Closure devices and drainage facilities may consist of cross-ditches, waterbars, drainage-dips, barriers or gates and restoring cross-sloped sections.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

3.1 During periods of Contractor’s/Purchaser's non-use, roads designated for interim closures shall be closed unless otherwise agreed to, in writing, by the designated Forest Service official.

The entire roadway shall be bladed and shaped to provide drainage during periods of closure or non-use.

Where possible, and still retaining appropriate surface-drainage characteristics, existing surface-vegetation shall be protected in accordance with the High Blading requirements found in Specification T-805 Opening and Maintaining Roads (High Blading).

3.2 All drainage-dips, out-sloped or in-sloped sections, or other drainage devices built into the roadbed and roadway ditches shall be restored and replaced. Existing culverts shall be maintained to provide unobstructed flow. Waterbars and other cross-ditches shall be installed at locations designated by the designated Forest Service official.

3.3 All closure-devices and signs shall be constructed, located, installed, and maintained according to the standards contained in the most current version of the MUTCD.

3.4 Where existing surface-vegetation has been destroyed as a result of Purchaser’s operation, the entire roadway will be seeded with a seed-mixture approved by the designated Forest Service official.
