Weed Prevention Description

171.01 This work consists of washing and treating construction equipment and brushers to remove soil, seeds, plants, and plant fragments from the equipment before the equipment is used on National Forest System lands. Clean air filters of all plant matter and seeds.

Material

171.02 Conform to the following Subsection:

Water 725.01

Construction Requirements

171.03 General . Notify the CO in writing at least 15 days before moving any construction equipment onto National Forest System lands. Construction equipment includes pickup trucks, shop trucks, and others operating on native soil subgrades and does not include passenger cars, or other vehicles that regularly travel roads between the construction site and areas outside of National Forest System lands.

Perform all work at a location designated on the plans or other locations approved in writing.

Provide the CO with 2 day opportunity to inspect the washed equipment. The Contractor may certify equipment cleaning if CO inspection is impractical.

171.04 Equipment. Use a high pressure washing system.

For work on National Forest System lands, use a washing system that traps all soil, seeds, and plant material for removal from National Forest System lands or recycles the water for continued use. If the equipment recycles the water, provide adequate filters for seed removal. Dispose of the filter material and removed seeds in an approved manner. Do not mix soaps, detergents, or other chemicals with the wash water.

For work at a commercial washing facility, use approved facilities.

171.05 Washing. Wash the sides, tops, beds, and undercarriages of all construction equipment. Remove all soil, seeds, plants, plant fragments, dirt, and debris from the construction equipment, including engine air cleaners.

171.06 Inspection. Inspect the washed construction equipment, including the undercarriage, to ensure that the washing removed the dirt, debris, and seeds from the construction equipment. Rewash the construction equipment as necessary or as directed.

171.07 Acceptance. Weed prevention will be evaluated under Subsection 106.02.

Measurement

171.08 Do not measure weed prevention for payment.

Payment

171.09 Include all costs associated with the Section 171-Weed Prevention in the unit price for Section 151-Mobilization.

Add the following:

When contract quantities are designated in the schedule as method of measurement estimate the borrow excavation quantity from design data based on prism cubic yard compacted in final position, in the embankment.

The quantity of material hauled will be based on the quantity of borrow excavation shown in the schedule. Measure haul distance between the center of the material source and the center of embanked material. Compute haul by analytical methods as determined by CO.

Haul from non-designated material source requested by the Contractor will be considered haul from Contractor-furnished sources with an adjustment in contract price, in accordance with applicable contract provisions.

Haul distance from a Contractor-furnished source will be measured as the haul distance from the designated material source if the haul distance from the Contractor-furnished material source is greater than the haul distance from the designated source.

Haul distance from a Contractor furnished-sources will be measured as the haul distance from the Contractor-furnished material source if the haul distance from the Contractor-furnished source is less than the haul distance from the designated source.
