DESCRIPTION

210.01 Rehabilitation of roadways includes but is not limited to restoring stream crossings, Work removing ditch relief culverts, installing water bars, full road re-contour, seeding and mulching disturbed areas. Repair erosion sites to allow access. Restore stream crossings by removing fill and drainage structures and installing gradient control structures. This work includes excavation of stream crossings without drainage structures such as springs, seeps, and headwater swales. Identified work is an estimate and it shall be the responsibility of the contractor to determine actual work for each road to meet specifications outlined in the contract.

Performance Work may begin at either end if more than one road junction exists. Where roads are overgrown with brush and small regeneration, equipment shall be operated over brush without grubbing, scarifying or otherwise destroying the established root system of the road way except at designated work sites and to maintain a service road for safe passage. Repair existing mass wasting sites to allow heavy equipment access. All drainage structures/appurtenances shall be removed, dismantled and disposed of in accordance with Section 202.

Vegetation in the existing roadway, windfall and/or concentrations of woody debris, frozen soil, ice and snow shall not be incorporated into the excavated material.

A 200 foot long representative test strip designated by the Contracting Officer shall be de-compacted to determine the adequacy of de-compaction in the upper layer of for each road way within the same width, depth, soil and surface parameters as designated by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may approve other methods of de-compaction.

De-compact one half of the roadway nearest the cut slope to a depth of 30” before placing road fill excavated from the stream channel.

Removal of any drainage structures shall be in accordance with Section 202. Adjacent road ways shall be re-contoured to approximate adjacent side slopes. Use logs, rock, or rootwads to install gradient control structures. Trees near the stream channel may be used for gradient control and shall be designated by the Contracting Officer. These trees may require felling or bucking into the proper lengths. Rock can be used for gradient control if conserved from adjacent excavation.
