About this file
This is a Traffic Control Plan and Specifications document for the Corral G - Z IRSC Stewardship federal contract. The document establishes mandatory safety measures and warning protocols that the Contractor must implement to alert road and trail users to hazardous operations conducted by the Contractor on or adjacent to Forest Service-controlled roads and trails.
Part I outlines seven specific signs required during Contractor operations, each with defined minimum letter sizes, dimensions, and shapes. The "Logging Operations Next <> Miles" sign (24" x 36" rectangle) must be placed minimum 100 feet outside continuous work areas; the "Logging Operations" diamond sign (30" x 30") applies where work areas are not continuous; the "For Logging Use Only" sign marks intersections of temporary and C5.31# roads; the "Trucks" diamond sign addresses critical intersections with heavy traffic; the "End Logging Operations" rectangle concludes operation notifications; the "Tree Felling Ahead" diamond must be posted 200 feet in advance of felling areas; and the "Road Machinery Ahead" diamond warns of road maintenance operations. All signs must comply with Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Parts 1 and 6, feature black borders and lettering on orange backgrounds (retroreflective or illuminated for day/night visibility), and be installed on posts at minimum 5-foot height. The Contractor must furnish flag personnel and advance warning signs during cable or helicopter logging, felling adjacent to roads, or blasting operations. The document also specifies barricade requirements (Type II, minimum 3 feet high, alternating orange and white striping at 45-degree angles with reflectorization) for overnight or extended obstructions on C5.31# roads, and authorizes temporary gates, barricades, or natural barriers with hazard markers. Part II contains signature lines for mutual agreement between the Contractor and Forest Service representatives, though specific requirements are not detailed in the provided document section.
