Excess Material - Material from the roadway excess to that needed for maintenance of roadway.

Foreslope - The slope of the ditch section nearest to the traveled way. (See Illustration of Road Structure Terms.)

Furrow ditch - Any ditch which nominally parallels the road centerline and diverts water from natural flow patterns to protect road slopes, roadbed, or downslope areas. Furrow ditches may be located within the roadway or roadside, but as used in this contract excludes drainage ditches.

Grade - The trace of vertical plane, as shown on the drawings, intersecting the top surface of the road.

Materials - Any substance specified for use in the performance of the work.

Measurement - Method of determining and expressing the quantities of work

Nominal dimensions or Weights - The numerical values shown on the drawings or in the specifications as measurements for the work.

Order - A written order by the Government directing fulfillment of work requirements under the terms of the contract

Original Contract Quantities - Those estimated quantities shown in the Schedule of Items as awarded.

Patching - Minor repairs incidental to recurring maintenance which is not substantial in nature.

Paved Surface or Pavement - Denotes asphalt, concrete, or other stabilized materials excluding natural aggregates. Dust palliative treatments are not considered as pavement.

Reasonably Close Conformity - Means compliance with customary maintenance tolerances where working tolerances are not specified.

Right-of-Way - A general term denoting land, property, or interest therein acquired for or devoted to a road.

Roadbed - The portion of a road between the intersection of the subgrade and side slopes, excluding that portion of the ditch below the subgrade. (See Illustration of Road Structure

Terms.)

Road Listing - A listing of road locations and any established work priorities included in the contract as a drawing to indicate current estimates of contract timing; subject to revision in accordance with Contract Section F in developing the work schedule.

Road Maintenance Levels Definition as used in this Contract:

Maintenance Level 4 & 5: Roads with a moderate to high degree of user comfort and convenience. These roads receive maintenance on a routine basis, normally with brushing done yearly or biyearly.

Maintenance Level 3: Roads maintained for use by a prudent driver in a passenger car.

These roads generally receive maintenance on a routine basis, normally with brushing done every 3 to 4 years.

Maintenance Level 2: Roads maintained for use by high clearance vehicles. These roads generally receive only drainage related maintenance on a routine basis, and usually getting relegated to the lowest priority for brushing. Many have become mostly brushed in.

Roadside - See Illustration of Road Structure Terms

Shoulder - The portion of the roadway contiguous with the traveled way for the accommodation of stopped vehicles, for emergency use, and for lateral support of pavement structure. As used in this contract, the term is restricted to roads having an asphalt surface.

(See Illustration of Road Structure Terms).

Slide - A concentrated deposit of materials from above or on the backslope extending onto the traveled way or shoulders, whether caused by mass land movements or accumulated raveling.

Slump - A localized portion of the roadbed which has slipped or otherwise become lower than the adjacent roadbed and constitutes a hazard to traffic.

Supplemental Specifications - Specifications which detail conditions and requirements peculiar to the individual project.

Standard Specifications - Broadly-used (for instance throughout the Pacific Northwest

Region of the Forest Service) specifications for specific divisions of the work, such as:

Blading, Paved Surface Cleaning, Ditch Maintenance, etc.

Subgrade - Top surface of roadbed upon which sub-base, base course, or surface course was constructed. (See Illustration of Road Structure Terms.)

Surface Course - The top layer of a pavement structure, sometimes called the wearing course, usually designed to resist skidding, traffic abrasion, and the disintegrating effects of climate.

(See Illustration of Road Maintenance Terms.)

Traveled Way - The portion of the roadway for the movement of vehicles, exclusive of shoulders on asphalt paved roads. For purpose of this contract, traveled way includes turnouts and curve widening. (See Illustration of Road Structure Terms.)
