SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF

Quartzville Access Road, BLM # 12-3E-29.1

Culvert Replacement and Road Repair

Description of Work

The work to be done under this contract includes all labor, supervision, transportation, equipment, tools, supplies, and materials necessary to remove and replace large culverts, saw cutting, excavate paved road sections, place and compact crushed aggregate, patch and pave areas with hot mix asphalt concrete, traffic control, coordination with BLM for work scheduling to conform to regulations, restrictions, and to maintain traffic flow during construction. The work may also include, at the Governments option, additional culvert installation, road repair of slump and upheaval sections, and crushed aggregate shoulder work throughout the road length. The project is located along BLM Road #’s 12-3E-29.1 (Quartzville Access Road), 11-4E-19, and 11-4E-19.3

NE of Sweet Home, Oregon, Linn County.

General Information – The Quartzville Access Road is a timber haul route and popular recreation area that shall remain open for the duration of the project. Timber harvesting operations may be ongoing over the next two years and further coordination may be necessary with BLM and private landowners.

The construction area is remote and has limited cell phone coverage. The BLM has a private radio network that may be used by the Contractor solely for emergency communications. The

Contractor will need to provide a newer Bendix King radio to access the frequencies or sign out a BLM radio for use during the project.

States Customary and Metric units of measure.

When designated in a contract, the FP-14 becomes part of the contract and binding upon all parties to the contract. Construction contracts of the Bureau of Land Management are also governed by the following regulations:

● Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Title 48, Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1

The FAR regulations are not included in the FP-14. A complete copy of the FAR is available from the Superintendent of Documents, Congressional Sales Office, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.

U.S. Customary units of measure are used in the FP-14 as provided in the November 25, 2008

Memorandum from Jeffrey F. Paniati entitled Update on Metric Use Requirements for FHWA

Documents. Metric units are noted in parentheses following the U.S. Customary Units. The references to Metric or Metric units apply only when the project or portion of the project expressly calls for Metric units of measure.
