SECTION C--DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS

C.1 Scope of Contract

The intent of the contract is to perform road maintenance activities. Work includes installing waterbars, excavate and sidecast road fill material, haul and place rock borrow, remove culverts and log bridges, clear brush from the roadway and drainage structure inlets, furnish and install culverts and bridges, excavate ditches, roadside brushing, and seeding and fertilizing exposed organic soils on and along roadsides on approximately 107 miles of National Forest System Roads on the Ketchikan Ranger District. The removed culverts and hardware become the property of the contractor and must be removed from the National Forest. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, supplies, and perform all work required to maintain the facilities in accordance with the attached typical drawings, supplemental specifications and parent specifications.

There are 3 separate Mobilization pay items in the contract. Work will be performed at Shoal Cove, Shelter Cove, and Carroll Inlet, at each of these sites Mobilization is a pay item. Mobilization progress payments for each work area will adhere to the percentages of work accomplished according to Specification 151, using the contract amounts for work at each specific work area.

Road storage work in this contract involves stabilizing roads regarding drainage. Work will include a combination of drainage structure removal, waterbar construction, excavating ditches, clearing the roadway and ditch of brush for project access and proper drainage, constructing temporary glulam bridges, and seeding and fertilizing bare organic soils.

Road storage work is payable on a per mile basis, regardless of the number of drainage structures removed or constructed for each mile, and the amount of seeding and fertilizing required. More than one type of waterbar will be constructed; some roads will have shallow waterbars to allow 2-wheel drive pickup travel. Some roads will have deeper waterbars designed for motorized off highway vehicles (OHVs) such as 4-wheelers. Some culverts, primarily in fish streams, will also be removed from these roads. A third type of road storage will include removing all existing drainage structures, including wood and metal culverts and bridges, and constructing additional waterbars where needed. Spacing between waterbars will be 200 to 750 feet apart on all types of road storage. Refer to the drawings and workog in Section J for details on each project road. The structures listed in the worklogs represent known locations of drainage structures. Additional structures may be located during the project, any work associated with additional structures located during the project on project roads is considered incidental to the rest of the project work. Interested bidders are encouraged to visit the work sites.

The contract also includes work on roads to remain open to motorized traffic. This work is required for project access and public safety. This work includes roadside brushing with a rotary brusher, ditch and drainage structure maintenance, culvert installations, and minor bridge repair. Roadside brushing will be Method B. Payment for most of this work is also by the mile (Roadway Reconditioning). For estimation purposes, ditch excavation will average about 1000 feet per mile, and no explosives will be needed for ditch reconstruction. Borrow excavation necessary for structure installation and road repair is considered incidental to other pay items in the project and will not be separately payable unless shown in the Schedule of Items.

RECOVERY KMRD Road Storage South PAGE 7

In-stream timing restrictions are included in the contract for work in streams with fish populations. Refer to Section H for times and locations where this will affect work scheduling.

Several 40’ treated glue-laminated bridges are included in the contract. The drawing for a typical installation is included in Section J. Locations where these structures are to be installed are typically over streams less than 5’ wide with total fill heights of less than 8’. All sites are on existing roads and serve as replacement structures over small fish streams. Structural excavations for bridge foundations are expected to be much less than for new installations.

Optional work in the contract includes removing existing structures and furnishing and installing additional 40’ glue-laminated bridges on existing roads as replacement structures at Shoal Cove.

The Contractor shall assume all risk, loss, damage, or expense arising out of prosecution of the work, except as otherwise provided in the contract.

The Government estimate is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 for the base and all options.

C.2 Description and Location

The project is located on Revilla Island in southeast Alaska. The forest road systems at Shoal Cove, Shelter Cove, and Upper Carroll Inlet are remote, accessible by either saltwater or air travel.

Ketchikan is the nearest full service community to the work sites.

C.3 Signing and Safety

(a) A reflectorized SLOW MOVING VEHICLE emblem shall be attached to any equipment not designed to maintain a safe travel rate or that will be moving at a slow rate while performing maintenance.

(b) It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to furnish black and orange reflectorized maintenance warning signs to alert motorists of maintenance operations. A minimum of one (1) sign at each end of road sections under construction shall be kept in place at all times and shall be moved as work progresses in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Level and smooth each embankment layer before placing the next layers. Operate hauling and spreading equipment uniformly over the full width of each layer. Construct a solid embankment with adequate compaction by working smaller rock and fines in with the larger rocks to fill the voids, and by operating hauling and spreading equipment over the full width of each layer until visible deformation of the layer ceases or, when a sheepsfoot roller is used, the roller walks out” of the layer. Make at last three complete passes.

204.13 Sloping, Shaping, and Finishing.

(d) Finishing. For surfaced roads, remove all material larger than 6 inches from the top 6 inches of the roadbed. For all roads, finish the roadbed to be smooth and uniform, and shaped to conform to the typical sections. Remove unsuitable material from the roadbed and replace it with suitable material.

Ensure that the subgrade for both surfaced and unsurfaced roads is visibly moist during shaping and dressing. Scarify the 6 inches below the bottom of low sections, holes, cracks, or depressions and bring back to grade with suitable material. Maintain proper ditch drainage.

For unsurfaced roads, use one of the following methods to finish the roadbed:

(1) Method A. Remove all material larger than 6 inches from the top 6 inches of the roadbed and replace with suitable material.

(2) Method B. Use a vibratory grid roller or approved equal with a minimum weight of 10 tons. Roll at least 5 full-width passes or until visible displacement ceases.

(3) Method C. For roads designated as Construction Tolerance Class K, L, of M, finish the roadbed by spreading the excavation. Eliminate rock berms.

573 - Bridge Repair 573.00_nat_us_05_12_2004

Description

573.01 This work consists of minor bridge repair and the repair of other concrete structures.

Material

573.02 Conform to the following Subsections:

Air-entraining admixtures 711.02 Chemical admixtures 711.03 Coarse aggregate 703.02 Curing material 711.01 Fine aggregate 703.01 Fly ash 725.04 Joint fillers 712.01 Portland cement 701.01 Precast concrete curbing 725.06 Precast concrete units 725.11 Reinforcing steel 709.01 Structural steel 717.01 Water 725.01 Epoxy Resin Adhesives 725.21

Construction Requirements

573.03 General. Perform excavation and backfill work under Section 209.

a) Concrete Removal: Remove loose concrete from the designated areas. Use jack hammers that weigh less than 30 pounds. Use chipping hammers that weigh less than 15 pounds to remove concrete from beneath reinforcing bars. Operate jack hammers and mechanical chipping tools at an angle less than 45 degrees from the slab surface.

Use hand tools (hammers and chisels) to finish the cavity.

RECOVERY KMRD Road Storage South PAGE 21

Inspect the cavity for remaining defective concrete by tapping with a hammer or steel rod on the concrete and listening for dull or hollow sounds. Dull or hollow sounds indicate defective concrete. In areas where tapping produces a dull or hollow sound, remove additional concrete until tapping produces a solid tone. Make the entire cavity at least 1 inch deep. Saw cut edges of cavity to avoid feather edging.

Prepare surface of cavity by sandblasting, grinding, or water blasting. Remove dust, dirt, and loosely bonded material resulting from cleaning. Allow cavity surfaces to dry.

For spalls to be repaired that are adjacent to joints and existing cracks insert preformed joint filler to the working faces of the spall. Trim filler to fit shape of the working faces of joint or crack so epoxy material is prevented from bypassing filler. Where practicable, extend filler horizontally and vertically into joint or crack opening. Secure filler strip in place prior to and during placement of epoxy concrete.

Apply a bond breaker to working faces at keyed joints. Keep bond breaker off of concrete surface to be bonded. After the epoxy concrete has completely cured, saw out the top 1 inch of the preformed joint filler and install liquid joint sealer.

(b) Reinforcing Steel: Clean all exposed reinforcing steel that is to remain in place. Remove all rust and corrosive products, including oil, dirt, concrete fragments, laitance, loose scale, and other coating of any character that would destroy or inhibit the bond with the new concrete.

When cleaned reinforcing steel will be exposed for more than seven days before placing the concrete, protect the steel from corrosion and contamination. Clean or replace all corroded or contaminated reinforcing steel.

Prevent cutting or damaging reinforcing steel designated to remain in place. Repair or replace any damaged bars.

(c) Forms: Design and construct forms that are free of bulge and warp and allow for removal without injuring the concrete. When concrete contains a retarding admixture, fly ash, or other pozzolan replacement for cement, design the forms for a lateral pressure equal to that exerted by a fluid weighing

2.5 tons per cubic yard.

Use wood, metal, or other suitable material for forms. Keep forms clean and coat with a form release agent or form oil before placing concrete.

Place and fasten reinforcing steel according to Subsection 554.08.

573.04 Epoxy Concrete and Mortar Composition:

Use the appropriate epoxy grout for the application.

Surfaces where a non- sagging epoxy resin is needed:

ASTM C 881, Type III, Grade 1 or 2, Class B or C without mineral filler. For walls and ceilings use ASTM C 881, Type III, Grade 3, Class B or C with filler.

Non-Pressure Epoxy Grout:

ASTM C 881 Type IV, Grade [2] [3], Class [B] [C] with or without mineral filler.

Crack Sealer for Pressure Grouting:

ASTM C 881, Type IV, Grade 1, Class [B] [C] without filler.

Crack Surface Sealer for Pressure Grouting:

ASTM C 881, Type IV, Grade 3, Class [B] [C] with mineral filler.

Aggregate: Provide dry aggregate. For material passing No. 200 sieve provide a non-plastic material composed of a minimum of 75 percent limestone dust, talc or silica inert filler. Epoxy concrete: Furnish

RECOVERY KMRD Road Storage South PAGE 22 fine aggregate meeting the requirements of 703.01. Epoxy mortar: Furnish fine aggregate meeting the requirements of AASHTO M-45.

Job Mix Formula: At least 15 days before work commences, submit a job-mix formula for each use of epoxy concrete or epoxy mortar. Include test reports with the mix design. Identify the source of the materials and include the proportions of aggregates and epoxy resin. When determining job mix, use samples of materials to be used on the job.

573.05 Mixing and Placing Materials.

Make batches small enough to ensure placement before binder sets. Mix materials according to manufacturer's recommendations.

Halt work when weather conditions detrimentally affect the quality of patching or bonding concrete.

Apply epoxy resin materials only when the contact surfaces are completely dry and if the atmospheric and surface material. Follow manufacturer's instructions for weather conditions and temperature ranges.

Do not permit vehicular or heavy equipment traffic on the pavement in the work area during the curing period.

(a) Epoxy Concrete: Prime dry cavity surfaces with epoxy resin using a stiff bristle brush. Make coating approximately 0.02 inch thick. Place epoxy concrete while primer is still tacky and in layers not exceeding 1 inch thick. Use vibratory floats, plates, or hand tampers to consolidate the concrete. Level each layer and screed the final surface to match the adjoining surfaces. Remove excess epoxy concrete on adjacent surfaces before the concrete hardens. Do not feather epoxy concrete out onto adjacent surfaces.

(b) Epoxy Mortar: Prime surfaces with epoxy resin binder. Scrub prime coat into surface with a stiff bristle brush. Make coating approximately 0.02 inch thick. Place epoxy mortar while primer is still tacky. Apply at a thickness recommended by the manufacturer. Work mortar into place and consolidate thoroughly so that contact surfaces are wetted by the mortar. Finish surface of mortar to the required texture. Do not feather epoxy mortar onto adjacent surfaces.

(c) Cementing Dowels: Immediately prior to placing the dowel, clean hole of dust and other deleterious material with high pressure air. Fill hole halfway with grout. Insert dowel in hole and rotate it at least one complete turn while tapping it down. If necessary add more grout to fill hole.

(d) Epoxy Grout for Cracks: Apply epoxy grout at a thickness recommended by the manufacturer.

Work grout into place and consolidate thoroughly so that contact surfaces are wetted by the grout. Finish surface of grout to the required texture. Do not feather epoxy grout onto adjacent surfaces.

(e) Pressure Grouting of Cracks: Clean each crack of dust, dirt, loose concrete and unsound material.

Insert a valve at both ends of each crack, at the junction of two cracks, and along the length of each crack at 20 inch intervals. Apply crack surface sealer between the valves. After crack surface sealer has hardened and cured, pump crack sealer into valve at one end of crack. For vertical surfaces start at lowest valve and work upwards. As crack sealer appears at next valve, pinch closed pumping valve and move to next valve and commence pumping. Continue procedure until other end of crack is reached.

Avoid delays in pumping operation. After crack sealer has hardened and cured grind valves off flush with concrete surface. Coat areas around valves with crack surface sealer and allow to harden and cure.

RECOVERY KMRD Road Storage South PAGE 23

(f) Curing: Cure epoxy materials according to manufacturer's recommendations. Furnish a representative sample of each batch of epoxy resin and aggregate. Clearly identify samples by designated name, specification number, batch number, project contract number, intended use and quantity involved. Check each repaired area for cracks, spalls, popouts and loss of bond between repaired area and surrounding concrete. Check each repaired area for voids by tapping with a hammer or steel rod and listening for dull or hollow sounds. Immediately repair defects.

573.06 Acceptance. Material for minor concrete structures including concrete, reinforcing steel, and structural steel for minor structures will be evaluated under Subsections 106.02 and 106.03. For confirming commercial certifications of compressive strength, AASHTO T 23 is modified to allow the 28-day cure in a waterproof mold.
