834-F1 ROADWAY DRAINAGE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

834.01

Clean and recondition roadway drainage systems including culverts, ditches, inlet and outlet channels, catch basins, and appurtenances.

834.02

Drainage system maintenance is complete when no obstruction remains in the defined area adjacent to the structure or in ditches which would have the potential to block water from entering the structure, back water into the structure (except for structures designed to function in a back-flooded manner), or divert water outside the defined channel. Equipment operation in live streams or hydraulic flushing of drainage structures is not permitted.

When ordered by the Contracting Officer to work in a weed-infested area the contractor shall be required to prevent spreading the infestation into un-infested areas by cleaning equipment. The contractor shall use wash stations approved by the Contracting Officer.

Recondition damaged culverts by straightening bent inlet and outlet ends, and tightening any loose bands or fittings. This work is limited to that which can be done with a pry bar, hydraulic jack, or other similar hand tools.

834.03

As specified on roads listed on the road listing, shown on the plans, marked on the ground or ordered by the Contracting Officer. Specific areas include:

A. Drainage structures including inlet structures, culverts, catch basins, inlet/outlet channels, and ditches within the area shown on the plans or in the supplemental specifications.

B. Culverts - a minimum external horizontal distance of 20 feet in any direction from the inlet and outlet end and a minimum internal distance of 3 feet from the inlet and outlet ends.

C. Ditches adjacent to the roadbed.

D. This work does not include bridges, cattle guards, drain dips, or water bars.

E. Do not operate in the weed-infested areas marked on the ground unless ordered to do so by the Contracting Officer.
