GENERAL NOTES

Section 303 – Reconditioning: This work consists of reconditioning ditches, shoulders, roadbeds, aggregate surfaces, or the entire road.

Section 602 – Culverts and Drains: As stated in the specification, the contractor shall determine the final location, skew, length, elevations, and grade. This also includes installation of down pipes on existing culverts. Do not order or install culverts until the CO has accepted the final structure size, length, and alignment.

Section 607 – Cleaning, Reconditioning, and Repairing Existing Drainage Structures - Work under this section includes specifically the cleaning of all culvert inlets and outlets up to 48” diameter and any material inside the culvert when noted in the road log. The road log will detail the items of work required under this pay item.

Final shaping of the road at culvert installation and replacement sites shall be constructed so no water diversion potential exists in case the culvert plugs and fails. This shall be accomplished by shaping a dip in the road over the culvert location, or installing a rolling dip downgrade of the culvert at the soonest possible location.

Pay Item 20467 – Drivable Drainage Dip: This pay item includes the excavation, shaping, and aggregate surfacing for rolling dip installation. The aggregate shall be spread the full length of the constructed dip, the full width of the road, and at a 4 inch compacted depth.

Pay Item 30201 – Roadway Aggregate: This pay item includes aggregate surfacing over culvert locations, spot rocking, and where required as designated on the ground.

430.00_nat_us_07_27_2007

Description

430.01 This work consists of performing full depth patching, patching with geotextiles, skin patching, spray-injection patching, and removal and replacement of asphalt berms.

Material

430.02 Conform to the following Subsections:

Minor Hot Asphalt Pavement 404.02

Asphalt Binder 702.01 Cutback Asphalt 702.02

Emulsified Asphalt 703.03

Application Temperatures 702.04

Cold Asphalt Mix 702.10

Aggregate 703.07 (a) and (b)

Choker Aggregate 703.12

Geotextile Type VI 714.01

Sand 703.15

Construction

430.03 Composition of Mix (Job-Mix Formula). Furnish either Minor Hot Asphalt Pavement or Minor Cold Asphalt Mix as approved by the CO.

430.04 Full Depth Patch.

Remove material to a minimum depth of 4 inches, or as necessary to reach firm support. If firm support for a patch is unavailable, notify the CO prior to placing any material.

Trim or mill the edges of the prepared hole to form a vertical face in un-fractured asphalt surfacing.

Make the prepared hole rectangular, and clean it of all loose material. When the hole is dry, apply emulsified asphalt to the bottom and faces of the hole. Barricade prepared sites. Patch the sites immediately after the emulsified asphalt breaks. Place the asphalt concrete mixture in layers not exceeding 4 inches. Thoroughly compact each layer with hand or mechanical tampers or rollers. For hot asphalt concrete mixtures, compact the mix while it is above 230 °F.

Compact the finished surface with a steel-wheel roller or vibratory plate compactor. Ensure that the compacted patch is approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inches above the level of the adjacent pavement. Seal the edges of the completed patch with emulsified asphalt, and blot with fine sand.

430.05 Patching with Geotextile. Prepare the surface by digging out and patching according to Subsection 430.04 or by cleaning the surface, removing vegetation, and filling all cracks more than 1/4 inch wide with an approved crack-filling material. Remove excess crack-filling material. Spray the prepared surface with asphalt cement or emulsified asphalt according to the geotextile manufacturer’s direction. Immediately place the geotextile over the repaired area. Allow emulsified asphalt to break before placing geotextile. Extend the fabric a minimum of 6 inches beyond the repaired or patched area onto sound adjoining pavement. Use a minimum of 2 inches overlap where adjacent fabric panels are needed to cover the repaired area.

Do not place the asphalt concrete mixture until authorized by the CO. Uniformly distribute asphalt concrete mixture in layers not to exceed 2 inches compacted depth. Feather the edges of skin patches.

When placing more than one layers, offset all joints at least 6 inches between layers. Compact each layer with an 8 to 10 ton steel roller. For hot asphalt concrete mixtures, compact the mix while it is above 230°F. Ensure that the completed patch does not have abrupt transitions that could adversely affect the steering of a passenger car traveling across the area. Provide transition tapers for skin patches that are 12 inches long per 1/8 inch thickness of patch in the direction on travel.

430.06 Skin Patches. Prepare the surface on which the skin patch is placed by cleaning the surface, removing vegetation, and filling all cracks more than 1/4 inch wide with an approved crack-filling material. Remove excess crack-filling material. Spray the surface with emulsified asphalt at the rate approved by the CO.

Apply the asphalt concrete mixture according to Subsection 430.05.

430.07 Spray-Injection Patching. Use an approved continuous process that cleans and dries the area to be patched, sprays a tack coat of binder on the sides and bottom of the pothole, place aggregate coated with emulsified asphalt, and covers the area with a choker aggregate.

430.08 Asphalt Berm. Remove damaged segments of berm and bevel exposed ends at approximately 45 degrees from vertical. Clean and patch the berm foundation as necessary. Coat the foundation and joining surfaces with emulsified asphalt. Place and compact asphalt mix to conform to the shape of the undamaged segment.

430.09 Waste Material. Dispose of all materials removed from potholes, patches, and berms in accordance with Subsection 203.05(a).

430.10 Acceptance. Asphalt concrete mixtures will be evaluated under Subsections 106.02 and

106.03. Geotextiles will be evaluated under Subsection 106.03. Spray-injection patching will be evaluated under Subsections 106.02 and 106.03.

Measurement

FIRE PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICE CONTRACTS

03/06/2013

1. SCOPE:

The provisions set forth below outline the responsibility for fire prevention and suppression activities and establish a suppression plan for fires within the contract area. The contract area is delineated by map in the contract. The provisions set forth below also specify conditions under which contract activities will be curtailed or shut down.

2. RESPONSIBILITIES:

A. Contractor

(1) Shall abide by the requirements of this Fire Plan.

(2) Shall take all steps necessary to prevent his/her employees, subcontractors and their employees from setting fires not required in completion of the contract, shall be responsible for preventing the escape of fires set directly or indirectly as a result of contract operations, and shall extinguish all such fires which may escape.

(3) Shall permit and assist in periodic testing and inspection of required fire equipment. Contractor shall certify compliance with specific fire precautionary measures in the fire plan, before beginning operations during Fire Precautionary Period and shall update such certification when operations change.

(4) Shall designate in the Fire Plan and furnish on Contract Area, during operating hours, a qualified fire supervisor authorized to act on behalf of Contractor in fire prevention and suppression matters.

B. Forest Service

The Forest Service may conduct one or more inspections for compliance with the Fire Plan. The number, timing, and scope of such inspections will be at the discretion of agency employees responsible for contract administration. Such inspections do not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for correcting violations of the fire plan or for fire safety in general, as outlined in paragraph 2.A above.

3. DEFINITIONS:

The following definitions shall apply:
