Section 210 - Rehabilitation of Abandoned Roadways

DESCRIPTION

210.01 Rehabilitation of roadways includes but is not limited to restoring stream crossings, Work removing ditch relief culverts, full road re-contour, and seeding and mulching disturbed areas. 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.

CONSTRUCTION

210.02

Begin work at the road terminus and progress towards the permanent road closure.

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. It may be placed above the road, on finished slopes or hauled to the designated disposal area. After rehabilitation work is completed scatter large boulders, stumps, dead logs, and/or clearing debris on the finished surface AS SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS.

210.03

Full road re-contour consists of de-compacting the cut slope half of the road

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.
