The scope of work is not limited to the payment items identified herein. Other payment items within the overall scope of road maintenance may be added by contract modification if an agreeable price and performance time can be established. In the event requirements for work develop that are not pre-priced, the Government will provide a complete description of the specifications and payment items and request a unit price. If mutual agreement is reached on the pricing of additional payment items, they may be added to the contract at any time. If mutual agreement is not reached on proposed additional payment items, the Government reserves the right to contract for such work with others.

Section 801 Quantity Measurement Terms

1. U.S. Customary Units of measure are used in conjunction with these specifications.

2. The methods of measurement and computation will be those necessary to accurately determine the quantities of materials furnished and work performed.

3. All items, which are measured by the feet, will be measured parallel to its longitudinal centerline, unless otherwise shown on the drawings.

4. A station when used as a definition of term or measurement will be one hundred feet, or a precise location along a survey line.

5. Miles will, in the absence of known distances from existing plans or surveys, be determined by the Government using a calibrated survey odometer or equal substitute operated on the traveled way at or parallel to road centerline.

6. The term "ton" means 2000 pounds. Trucks used to haul material measured by truck weight shall be weighed empty at least once daily, and each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark. Weigh tickets furnished by the Contractor from certified scales will be used to determine weight measurements.

7. Materials measured by the cubic yard in the hauling vehicle shall be measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles may be of any size or type, provided that the box is of such shape that the actual volume may be readily and accurately determined.

8. Measurement by the acre will use the length and width treated. Measurement of width will approximate significant slope breaks, but will not include minor deviations along the slopes. The measured slope distance for the length will multiply width treated and converted to a standard 10,000 square yard or acreage value of the surface area treated.

9. Measure square yard with horizontal longitudinal and traverse measurements.

10. The term "lump sum" when used in the Schedule of Items means the complete unit as required by or described in the contract.

11. Measurement will be made of each item or unit of work, as shown in the Schedule of Items, completed and accepted in accordance with the contract provisions, specifications, and drawings.

R6, Performance Based Service Contract Specifications For Road Maintenance

INTENT AND USE GUIDE

Performance based specifications are appropriate when the intent is to perform recurrent road maintenance activities. They are not intended to provide work that is inherently construction related. They are not intended to replace any material quality standard or procedural process that is appropriately covered in the FP-03, “Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects”. They are not intended to circumvent the Service Provider’s responsibility of paying Davis Bacon Wage rates.

The Service Provider should be allowed to perform the work in a manner that reaches end objectives.

Many work items require a map showing the location of the included work, and a road listing that shows other features like road length, pay items that apply, and scheduling priority. The following sections require a map and road listing; 803, 807, 811, 812, 813, 814, 832, 833, 834, 836, 841, 842, 851, 861, 872, and 881.

Measurement is the method that the Contracting Officer will use to define the quantity of work that is subject to payment.

Work Area Management has been incorporated into all specifications.

Watering and Water Supply are incidental to any specifications requiring water.

Throughout the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) tables in the specifications, the letter “x” is used as a placeholder for a fill-in number. Remove the letter “x” and insert the number and unit that fits your situation. The unit is not tied to the pay unit; it is related to the type of defect described.

Include Section 800 “Definitions and Abbreviations” and Section 801 “Quantity Measurement Terms” in all contracts.

811.02 Performance Standards

A. Maintenance Level 4 and 5 Roads

A road surface is maintained to standard when the travel way is free of washboards, potholes, or other irregularities. The surface is smooth, compact, crowned or sloped to drain, without segregation of the surfacing materials. Suitable materials have been recovered and incorporated. Unsuitable materials have been removed.

Ditches and road surface drainage structures function efficiently. Unpaved shoulders are shaped to provide a smooth transition from the paved surface and drain efficiently.

B. Maintenance Level 3 Roads

A road surface is maintained to standard when the surface is compact, crowned, or sloped to drain, without segregation of the surfacing materials. The road surface has no ruts or rills, suitable materials have been recovered and incorporated.

Unsuitable materials have been removed. Ditches and road surface drainage structures function efficiently.

C. Maintenance Level 2 Roads

A road surface is maintained to standard when the surface is shaped to drain, and where ditches and road surface drainage structures function efficiently. The road surface has no continuous ruts or rills, and no large concentrations of unsuitable materials remain.

D. All Roads

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