7. Slide Removal

8. Maintain/Restore Ditch Lines, Catch Basins, and Outlet Channels

9. Clean Culverts

10. Hazard Removal from Roadway

11. Roadside Brushing

12. Subgrade Sampling

5.1 Routine Road Grading: Grading operations shall be conducted to accomplish the renovation of the roadbed, shoulders, and ditch-line to its original design template. Work may include blading off debris (limbs, leaves, bank ravel, etc.), ripping ruts and potholes to their full depths, and reshaping the original crown, in-slope, or out-slope templates over the full width of roadbed, turnouts, and shoulders to promote water runoff and decrease sediment delivery. Elevated shoulders which inhibit drainage shall be bladed down to the elevation of the adjacent roadbed and sloped to encourage surface drainage, with accumulated material side-cast except within 100 feet of culvert outlets and streams, or areas of instable side-slopes. Side-cast material shall not be accumulated, rather spread over a broad area to minimize impacts.

Minor maintenance, not to exceed a single pass, of ditch-lines shall be performed to remove limbs, ravel, and other minor obstructions, in order to contain and improve water flow. Larger accumulations that require more work shall be accomplished under Maintain/Restore Ditch Lines, Catch Basins, and Outlet Channels and charged per cubic yard.

Suitable aggregate material which had previously been displaced outside of the limits of the running surface, both by traffic and/or past maintenance activities, shall be reclaimed onto the traveled way, when possible, without contaminating the surface.

5.2 Compaction: Roadway shall be compacted to the full road surface width after grading operations when designated on the Task Order. Minimum compaction of roadway shall be one (1) hour of continuous rolling for each six (6) stations, or fraction thereof as measured along the centerline.

5.3 Snow Plowing: Contractor shall plow accumulated snow completely from paved surfaces to ensure painted traffic markings on the pavement are readily identifiable to vehicle operators. Contractor shall plow snow almost completely, leaving 2 to 4 inches of snow on the surface, when plowing aggregate surfaces to ensure that aggregate is not lost off the roadbed. All damage by the Contractor to Government property due to performance of snow and ice removal operations shall be repaired or replaced by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. The Contractor shall not blow or push snow into other roads or intersections. The Contractor shall start removal within 24-48 hours of notification from the COR.

5.4 Pavement Sweeping: Sweeping of dirt and debris shall be accomplished over the entire width of the paved road.

Sweeping shall expose any existing pavement striping of the center stripe or fog lines. Swept debris shall be deposited beyond the outer edges of the road shoulders, avoiding creation of windrows, blocking of ditch lines, and blocking of culverts or catch basins.

5.5 Shoulder Maintenance: The Contractor shall maintain unpaved shoulders adjacent to paved road traveled way.

Blade and shape existing shoulder material the entire width to drain away from the traveled way. Compact the shoulder adjacent to the paved surface edge providing a smooth transition between pavement and shoulder. Road grader wheels may be used for this compaction. Cleaning the paved surface during or after shoulder work is incidental to shoulder maintenance.

5.6 Bridge Maintenance: Bridge decks and curbs shall be cleared of dirt and debris in a manner that minimizes sediment from entering into the water channel being spanned. Accumulated material shall be swept from the deck and disposed of a minimum 100-feet from any stream channel. Drainage holes shall be fully opened. To minimize sediment entering the stream channel below, cleaning shall not be accomplished with water or compressed air. Clear vegetation from bridge rails and transition railing that is over 6 inches in height or hanging within 10 feet of the bridge rails and transition railings and the bridge. Cut vegetation and berry vines and remove trees and large vegetation that is within 5 ft of bridge. Maintain aggregate approaches a minimum of 40’ out from each abutment, removing potholes and shaping surfaces to provide a smooth transition onto the bridge and drainage away from abutment.

5.7 Slide Removal: Remove slide material to the slope angle to restore the original cut slope. At the same time, restore blocked ditches, catch basins, culvert inlets, running surface, shoulders, and turnouts. The waste material shall not be placed within 100 feet of any live stream, at cross-drain locations, on slopes exceeding 60%, or upon slopes exhibiting signs of instability, as determined by the COR. Side-cast material shall not be accumulated, rather spread over a broad area to minimize impacts. When excavation amounts warrant it, the excavated material shall be hauled to an approved waste site. Waste sites shall be shaped to drain and stabilized as directed by the COR.

5.7A Slide Removal <200 CY: Removal of slides with an estimated quantity of less than 200 CY 5.7B Slide Removal >200 CY: Removal of slides with an estimated quantity of greater than 200 CY

5.8 Maintain/Restore Ditch Lines, Catch Basins, and Outlet Channels: Minor maintenance of ditches and free flow from the road surface to the ditch shall be established with grading operations. Larger accumulations of debris in the drainage structures including leaf litter, limbs, tree tops, boulders, small slides or slough, and other debris shall be removed to promote water flow to the appropriate drainage structure under this line item. Ditch depth shall be a minimum 1-foot deep upon completion. All accumulated debris at culvert inlet and outlet shall be removed. Culvert catch basins shall be restored to a depth matching the bottom of the associated culvert, and to a minimum width equaling the diameter of the culvert. Outlet channels shall be open to a minimum width equaling the diameter of the culvert and shall be sloped away from the outlet a minimum of 3% gradient. Debris removal shall be conducted in a manner that does not undercut existing cutbanks, as raveling or slides may unintentionally be induced. The waste material shall not be placed within 100 feet of culvert outlets and streams, or areas of instable side-slopes.

5.9 Clean Culverts: Cross-drains shall be cleared of debris when directed in the TO. Work shall be accomplished during the dry season, and sediment traps or other BMP’s shall be utilized to prevent erosion at the outlet. Stream crossing culverts shall be cleared as described and during the time directed in the TO.

5.11 Roadside Brushing: This work consists of the cutting and removal of vegetation from the road prism, cut and fill slopes, overhanging limbs, and the inside of curves in accordance with these specifications. This work shall conform to the lines, grades and dimensions, and typical cross sections as shown on the Roadside Brushing Detail, at the designated locations shown on the plans. A minimum 14-foot clearing height, as measured from the roadbed, is required over the full width of the brushed area. Tree limbs shall be cut, not broken off, to within 2 inches of the trunk. The work shall be completed in a manner that avoids damaging the tree trunk. Vegetation cut less than 6 inches in diameter when measured 6 inches above the ground shall be cut to a maximum height of 4 inches above the ground surface or above obstructions such as rocks or stumps on cut and fill slopes. Slash shall be removed from the roadbed, shoulders, ditches, culvert inlets and outlets and their associated channels. Accumulations of slash shall be removed from cut-slopes and fill-slopes when the pieces aren’t laying flush against the ground. The generated slash shall be scattered on the downhill side of the road and outside of the clearing limits in a manner that avoids concentrations, will not result in damage to standing trees, and will not restrict water flow in ditches, at inlets and outlets of culverts, or within stream channels.

5.11A Mowing: Mechanical mowing includes cutting roadside vegetation consisting predominantly of grasses, ferns, and other small-stemmed plants. Short stretches (consisting of less than 10% of the total cut area) of small diameter brush may be included as mechanical mowing. Generally, vegetation can remain in place after cutting. Mowing operations will not require limbing of trees and will not require cutting of the clearing height above the roadbed.

5.11B Light: Light brush includes a mix of smaller, easily cut shrubs, grasses, forbs, and saplings which require little, if any, cleanup. Little limbing of roadside trees will be necessary. Limbs that do require removal will generally be small diameter.
