SECTION C

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

C.1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This project involves reconstruction of trail in the upper Safety Harbor Creek Area. The trail is located on a road template with slumps, large boulders, and a restrictive width for equipment of eight feet. Work includes removal and disposal of old irrigation pipeline and associated metal, developing access for construction, installing earthen and rock berms, drainage work, and reconditioning the template to a trail tread.

The purpose of this project is to remove a section of decaying irrigation pipe that is under a 1,035 foot segment of the Safety Harbor Creek trail, a motorized trail in the Sawtooth Backcountry of the Chelan Ranger District. The trail is used by motorbikers, horse riders, mountain bikers, and hikers.

Motorcycle use is the primary use identified in the trail management objective. A 24" diameter pipe made of creosote-treated wood wrapped with metal rings was part of the aquaduct that supplied irrigation water for the Manson and Chelan orchards until it was damaged by wildfires in 1970.

C.2 PROJECT LOCATION

Safety Harbor Creek Trail #1261 is located on the the North shore of Lake Chelan. T.30 N. R.20 E. Sec. 28. Access is off of the Grade Creek Road #8200 via spur Road #155. Distance from Chelan WA. is approximatelly 40 miles.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

906.03F1 April 18, 2002

906.03 Units of Measurement

Delete this subsection and add the following:

“Forest Service Specifications for Construction and Maintenance of Trails (September 1996) are based on Modern Metric units of measurement. The dimensions and units of measure SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS for this contract utilize U.S. Standard English units of measure. The SPECIAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS developed for this contract, utilize dual units of both Modern Metric and U.S. Standard English units of measure. All measurements referenced in the August 1996 Forest Service Standard Specifications (EM-7720-100) shall be converted to U.S. Standard English units of measure. Appendix A – Engineering Conversion Factors and Appendix B – SI (Modern Metric) Conversion Factors, are included on pages 612 – 614 of the Standard Specification Appendices to assist with any required conversions.

Where references are made to a Metric technical specification, such as ASTM or AASHTO, use the equivalent U.S. Standard English technical specification can be used for purposes of material certifications.

Work required by the contract will be paid based on the PAY UNIT (U.S. Standard English measure) as DESIGNATED IN THE SCHEDULE OF ITEMS.

Under each Specification Section with PAY ITEMS of work DESIGNATED IN THE SCHDULE OF ITEMS for measurement and payment under this contract, the last subsection “Payment - Basis”, shall have the following format:

Pay Item - Numbering system and work description to remain the same.

Pay Unit - Pay unit(s) DESIGNATED IN THE SCHEDULE OF ITEMS have been changed from metric to the corresponding unit of U.S. Standard English measure.

Payment will be by units defined and determined according to U.S. Standard English measure and by the following:

(a) Cubic Yard in Place. Measure solid volumes by the average end area method as follows:

(1) Measure cross sections of the original ground and use with design or staked templates, or take other comparable measurements to determine the end area. Do not measure work outside of the established lines or slopes.

(2) If any portion of the work is acceptable, but is not completed to the established lines and slopes, re-measure cross sections or comparable measurements of that portion of the work. Deduct any quantity outside the designated or staked limits. Use these measurements to calculate new end areas.

(3) Compute the quantity using the average end areas multiplied by the horizontal distance along a centerline or reference line between the end areas. Deduct any quantity outside the designed or staked limits.

Where it is impractical to measure material by the average end area method, other approved methods involving three-dimensional measurements may be used.

(b) Cubic Yard in the Hauling Vehicle. Measure the cubic yard volume in the hauling vehicle using three-dimensional measurements at the point of delivery. Use vehicles bearing a legible identification mark with the body shaped so the actual contents may be readily and accurately determined. Before use, mutually agree in writing upon the volume of material to be hauled by each vehicle. Vehicles carrying less than the agreed volume may be rejected or accepted at the reduced volume.

Level selected loads. If leveling reveals that the vehicle was hauling less than the approved volume, reduce the quantity of all material received since the last leveled load by the same ratio as the ratio of the current leveled load volume to the agreed volume. Payment will not be made for material in excess of the agreed volume.

Material measured in the hauling vehicle may be weighed and converted to cubic yards for payment purpose if the conversion factors are mutually agreed to in writing.

Compute measurement using measurements of material in the hauling vehicles at the point of delivery. Load vehicles to at least their water-level capacity. Leveling of the loads may be required when vehicles arrive at the delivery point.

(c) Cubic Yard Mile. A combination of linear and volumetric measurement meaning the movement of a cubic yard of material one(1) mile.

(d) Hour. Measurement will be for the actual number of hours ordered and performed by the Contractor.

(e) Each. One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts.

(f) Lump Sum. Do not measure directly. The bid amount is complete payment for all work described in the contract and necessary to complete the work for that item.

(g) MFBM. One thousand feet board measure based on nominal widths, thickness, and extreme usable length of each piece of lumber or timber actually incorporated in the job. For glued laminate timber, 1,000 board feet based on actual width, thickness, and length of each piece actually incorporated in the job.

(h) Gallon. The quantity may be measured by any of the following methods:

a. Measured volume container.

b. Metered volume. Use an approved metering system.

c. Commercially packaged volumes.

(i) Station. One hundred linear feet measured horizontally.

(j) Station Yard. A combination of linear and volumetric measurement meaning the movement of a cubic yard of material one station.

(k) Square Yard. Measure on a plane parallel to the surface being measure or horizontal.

(l) Thousand Gallons Mile. A combination of linear and volumetric measurement meaning the movement of 1,000 gallons of material one (1) mile.

(m) Ton. Short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds. Use net certified scale weights based on certified volumes.

(n) Ton Mile. A combination of linear and weight measurement meaning the movement of one (1) ton of material one (1) mile.”
