2.1.2 DEFECTIVE SERVICE. A unit of service which contains one or more defects, or nonconformance with specified requirements.
2.1.3 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY (PRS). Identifies the key service outputs of the contract that will be evaluated by the Government to assure contract performance standards are met by the contractor.
2.1.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE. Those actions taken by the Government to assure services meet the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS).
2.1.5 CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE (COR). A Government person appointed by the contracting officer to help the contracting officer with contract administration and surveillance.
2.1.6 GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR. A Government person responsible for surveillance of contractor performance.

2.1.8 QUALITY CONTROL. Those actions taken by a contractor to control the performance of services so that they meet the requirements of the PWS.
2.2 TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS.
2.2.1 MAINTENANCE LEVEL DEFINITIONS.
a. Maintenance Level 4: Roads that provide a moderate degree of user comfort and convenience at moderate speeds. Most are double-lane and aggregate surfaced. Some may be single-lane. Some may be dust abated. MUTCD is applicable. The road surface is maintained to provide the passage of low-clearance vehicles (i.e., passenger cars).
b. Maintenance Level 3: Roads open and maintained for travel by a prudent driver in a standard passenger car. User comfort and convenience are not considered priorities. Typically low-speed, single-lane with turnouts and native or aggregate surfacing. The road surface is maintained to provide the passage of low-clearance vehicles (i.e., passenger cars). MUTCD is applicable.
c. Maintenance Level 2: Roads open for use by high-clearance vehicles.
Passenger car traffic is discouraged and the surface is not maintained for this use. Traffic is minor administrative, permitted or dispersed recreation.

Also, intersecting roads will be bladed for a distance of fifty (50) feet to assure proper transition. Double lane roads are crowned and/or superelevated at a rate of four to eight percent with a smooth transition between the two. Lead-off ditches that have silted in will be cleaned and all usable material will also be pulled back onto the roadway template.
Drainage ditches on both sides of the road will be cleaned out with all suitable material pulled back on to the roadway. Any 2” plus material will be swept off the surface after all suitable material has been worked back into the surface.
Contractors shall not deviate from roadway template width or create false ditches during maintenance work.

Road Maintenance is work necessary to keep drainage functioning and maintain the road prism to allow a prudent driver to safely negotiate the road in a high clearance vehicle. This work includes blading by dozer or blade, removal of excessive ruts, reshaping existing natural drainage crossings, reconstructing existing out sloped drains, rolling dips, and lead-off ditches.
5.3 Cleaning Culverts. This work shall include the cleaning of existing metal culverts to include the catch basin, any end sections, and the entire length of the culvert.
Contractor may use a high pressure water pump or other means to remove accumulated debris from the culvert.
5.4 Cleaning Cattleguards. This work shall consist of cleaning existing cattleguards as designated in the Task Order and on the ground. Removed material shall be disposed along roadway shoulders and smoothed to leave no mounds of material.
5.5 Brushing/Limbing. This work includes the removal of small trees up to 6” diameter from the shoulders, ditches, or backslope, and removal of limbs that protrude over the roadway to a height of 14’.
5.6 Hazard Tree Falling. This work includes the falling of hazard trees up to 36” dbh, located next to or within 1½ tree lengths of the specified roadway as designated on the task order and marked on the ground.
