1. 988 – Slough and Berm Removal - Reshape Tread to Standard Construction Specifications

(1) Tread maintenance shall consist of removing excess material and debris from the trail bed, filling depressions, widening tread, providing drainage, and reestablishing damaged tread, as nearly as practicable, to its original constructed condition. It shall include the removal of slough from the inside edge of the tread and berm from the outside edge, the filling of ruts and holes in the tread occurring through usage and normal exposure, and the restoring of any sections of tread that have been damaged from slides, washing, or human or animal use. Payment under this specification will be made only for those trail segments which have been staked or otherwise designated on the ground by the Forest Service, and for work completed and accepted.

(2) Special payment will be made for restoring additional sections of damaged or destroyed trail tread not previously identified in this contact. Payment for this work will be made at the rate prescribed in Basis of Payment. No payment will be allowed as Special Payment Provision on such sections, unless they have been staked on the ground by the Forest Service. Restored tread width will be to a 24 inch wide surface, or to the width of the adjacent undamaged trail, whichever is greater.

(1) Remove from the trail all rocks protruding two (2) inches or more.

(2) Remove exposed roots over two (2) inches in diameter or 12 inches in length and which protrude more than two (2) inches above tread surface unless the root serves as a water bar.

(3) Trail tread that has been rutted or beaten out by travel and/or washing shall be filled with soil or gravel from deposits along the trail, such as back slope raveling and outside berm, or from ditch cleaning. A slight out slope shall be restored to the finished tread. If sufficient filler is not present from these sources, it shall be secured from another borrow area selected by the Contracting Officer.

Any borrow pits opened for such purpose shall be located out of sight from the trail. Each borrow pit and any resulting trails created to access it shall be naturalized after use.

(4) Trail tread whose width has been effectively narrowed through damage caused by falling or uprooted trees, motorized, pack stock or other type use where damage cannot be repaired through filling, shall be repaired by widening the adjacent tread surface to 24 inches, or to the width of the nearby undamaged trail, whichever is greater. A slight out slope shall be restored to the finished trail.

(i) Tread segments which have a pronounced side hill, or outward lean, as a result of use or washing, shall be treated the same as narrowed tread, in (b) 2.4, above.

(ii) In segments where tread is widened to 24", the finished back slope shall be angled in accordance with Drawing 900-2B.

(5) Low spots in the trail tread holding surface water shall be drained and filled with soil or small rock.

Fill material shall be obtained as specified in b(3) above.

(6) Slough from the inside edge of the tread or deposits of soil on the outer edge of the tread or deposits of soil on the outer edge of the tread that forms a berm higher than the center of the tread shall be removed and spread over the width of the trail to produce a slightly out sloped surface.

(7) Clean out drain ditches along the upper and lower sides of turnpike and puncheon constructed sections. Restore slightly crowned surface to turnpikes which have been gouged or beaten out by horse or other traffic. Fill with mineral soil and rocks smaller than 1-1/2 inches. Material excavated from drainage ditches may be used if it meets above requirements. Material borrowed from off-site locations must be approved in advance by the Contracting Officer.

b. Methods -- Repair or replace water bars that have been knocked loose by traveling stock or equipment and those that have rotted or worn out. Clean out the drainage way on the upgrade side and fill in on the downgrade side of the installed water bars.

(1) Log Water bars -- Material to be used in replacing or installing log water bars under this contract shall be sound, peeled logs cut from native timber, seven to eight (7 to 8) inches in diameter and long enough to reach from the inside edge to the outside edge of the trail bed at a downgrade angle of approximately 30 degrees. The water bar log shall be buried one-half its thickness in the trail tread and be firmly anchored with heavy stakes or steel pins.

(2) Rock Water bars -- Flat rocks meeting dimensions shown in drawings shall be set on edge, fitted together, and firmly imbedded into and across the trail at approximately a 30 degree skew. Approximately two-thirds of each rock will be embedded below the tread surface with four (4) inches protruding above the surface, forming a smooth barrier for a water stop. The tops of the rocks shall be relatively even and have no sharp points or edges. The water bar shall be back filled by tamping soil against it on both sides to form a soil water seal.

(i) The trail tread shall be out sloped for a distance of five to six (5 to 6) feet on the upgrade side of the water bar.

(3) Clean out drainage dips that were originally constructed in the trail and restore the out slope to approximately 15 percent, measured from spill point to back edge of trail tread.

(4) Open and clean out ditches, rock drains, culverts and catch-basins to permit unobstructed drainage and free flow of water away from the trail.

(5) Replace logs or large rocks on lower side of shallow stream fords and steep gully crossings that have been washed out. Replace fill material necessary to restore a smooth tread in the ford or crossing.

(6) Clean out drain ditches along the upper and lower sides of turnpike and puncheon constructed sections.

Restore slightly crowned surface to turnpikes which have been gouged or beaten out by horse or other traffic. Fill with mineral soil and rocks smaller than 1-1/2 inches. Material excavated from drainage ditches may be used if it meets above requirements. Material borrowed from off-site locations must be approved in advance by the Contracting Officer. All borrow pit locations shall be out of sight from the trail. Borrow pits and trails created to and from each site shall be naturalized after use.

(i) Restore fill approaches at each end of trail bridges and puncheon sections.

(ii) Clean decking of bridges and puncheon by removing all concentrations of foreign mineral and organic debris.

(iii) Replace or repair damaged, loose or missing bridge and puncheon decking and curb logs. Materials to be used shall be sound native materials similar in dimensions to that which it replaces, and shall be fastened into place with 50d galvanized spikes. When replacing sawn decking, native materials shall be sawn flat on top and notched on bottom surface so that the piece lies flat across the sill logs. Note shall be taken of any hazardous or badly deteriorated sections of puncheon, or trail bridges (broken or rotted stringers), and the conditions reported to the Contracting Officer at the first opportunity.
