SPECIFICATION T-800 DEFINITIONS

Wherever the following terms or pronouns are used, the intent and meaning shall be interpreted as follows:

800-1.1—Agreement—Maintenance projects require a mutually acceptable method to resolve the problems which arise when incompatible situations arise between drawings and specifications and actual conditions on the ground to allow orderly and satisfactory progress of the maintenance.

These specifications have been developed in anticipation of those problem areas and have provided that such changes will be by Agreement.

It is intended that drawings and specifications will govern unless "on-the-ground" conditions warrant otherwise, when specifications call for "Agreement", "agreed", or "approval" such Agreement or approval shall be promptly confirmed in writing.

800-1.2—Annual Road Maintenance Plan—A plan prepared by various users of one or several roads. The plan is an Agreement on maintenance responsibilities to be performed for the coming year.

800-1.12—Lead-off Ditches—A ditch used to transmit water from a Drainage Structure or Drainage Dip outlet to the natural drainage area.

800-1.13 —Material—Any substances specified for use in the performance of the work.

800-1.14—Prehaul Maintenance—Road maintenance work which must be accomplished to maintain the roads to a satisfactory condition commensurate with the Contractor's use, provided Contractor's operations do not damage improvements in Section H.21 of the contract/solicitation or National Forest resources and hauling can be done safely. This work will be shown in the above Road Maintenance Requirements.

Prehaul Maintenance work the Contractor elects to perform will be in compliance with the Road Maintenance T- Specifications.

3.3—Water, taken from Water Sources designated on Contract Area Map shall be applied during blading if sufficient moisture is not present to cut, mix, or compact the surface Material.

3.4—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 otherwise.

3.5—Roadway backslopes or Berms shall not be undercut, nor shall new Berms be established unless agreed otherwise.

Berms shall be repaired by placing Material, as needed to restore the Berm, to reasonably blend with existing line, grade, and cross-section.

3.6—Drainage Dips and Lead-off Ditches shall be cleaned and maintained to reasonably blend with existing line, grade, and cross-section.

3.7—Intersecting roads shall be bladed for a distance of 50 feet to assure proper blending of the two riding surfaces.

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 Forest Service, the oversized Material shall be disposed of by sidecasting.

Sidecasting into streams, lakes, or water courses will not be permitted.

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

3.10—Material resulting from work under this specification, plus any other accumulated debris, shall be removed from bridge decks and the deck drains opened. This includes existing debris under pre haul maintenance.

MEASUREMENT:

4.1—Surface blading will be measured to the nearest one-tenth (0.1) mile as measured by calibrated vehicle odometer along the road centerline.

Roadside ditches shall be free draining. Material removed if suitable, shall be blended into the existing native road surface or shoulders. Unsuitable material shall be spread evenly and not heaped against existing vegetation. Large rocks encountered during excavation of drainage structures that interfere with the lines and grades of the structure shall be removed, when practical and placed so that they will not roll or obstruct the use and maintenance of the roadway or moved to locations approved by the Forest Service.

MEASUREMENT:
