H-3 MOISTURE SENSITIVE SOILS

Contractors are cautioned that the roadway structure is designed so that the completed road will support highway legal loads during a limited use season. Construction equipment often subjects the uncompleted roadway structure to loadings it is not designed to support. This is especially critical during periods of excessive moisture. Materials on this project are sensitive to excessive moisture and will require careful selection and scheduling of equipment to permit efficient operation. Any damage resulting from operations, which renders the material unsuitable for use or results in potential siltation of streams, will be corrected by the Contractor at Contractor's expense.

H-4 LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

The Contractor shall give attention to the effect of contract operation upon the landscape, shall take care to maintain natural surroundings undamaged, and shall conduct the work at all times in compliance with the following requirements.

a. Prevention of the Landscape Defacement. The Contractor shall not remove, deface, injure, or destroy trees, shrubs, lawns, or other natural features or any other improvements in the work area unless specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall confine contract operations to within the areas designated in contract documents.

b. Protection of Streams, Lakes, and Reservoirs. The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent pollution of streams, lakes, small ponds, and reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumens, calcium chloride, silt, or other harmful materials. Mechanical equipment shall not be operated in live streams without written approval of the Contracting Officer.

H-5 CONFORMITY WITH DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

Unless working tolerances are specified, all work performed and materials furnished shall be in reasonably close conformity with lines, grades, cross sections, dimensions, and material requirements shown on the drawings, indicated in the specifications, or designated on the ground. "Reasonably close conformity" is in compliance with reasonable and customary manufacturing and construction tolerances.

A. Definition. "Work" includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

B. The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

C. Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not--

1. Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

2. Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

3. Constitute or imply acceptance; or

4. Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (I) below.

D. The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

E. The Contractor shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

F. The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

G. If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may (1) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor or (2) terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.

H. If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

I. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

H-6 CONSTRUCTION STAKES, LINES, AND GRADES

(a) Unless a Pay Item for Construction Staking is included in the Schedule of Items, the Government will set initial construction stakes establishing lines, slopes, and continuous control points, reference lines, and bench marks for other structures and improvements and will furnish the Contractor with all necessary information relating to lines, slopes, and grades.

(b) These stakes and control points shall constitute the field control from which the Contractor shall establish other necessary controls and execute the work. The Contractor shall furnish, without additional compensation, all additional stakes, all templates, batter boards, and other materials and supplies necessary for marking and maintaining points and lines established. If any construction control points have been destroyed or displaced or are erroneous, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer.

(c) The Contractor is responsible for the preservation of all stakes and control points. The cost of replacing them will be charged to the Contractor when destroyed due to Contractor's negligence or operation.

(d) In the case of alterations which involve any changes in construction staking, the Contractor shall cooperate with the Contracting Officer and facilitate the prompt re-establishment of the field control for the altered or adjusted work.

H-7 CONTRACTOR’S USE OF EXISTING ROADS

The Contractor is authorized to use roads in the immediate construction project area for performance of work under this contract. The authorization is limited to roads necessary for direct access between the construction area and storage sites, disposal areas, and other work areas designated in the contract.

The roads authorized for use will be subject to the following general conditions:

(1) State laws governing traffic rules and equipment requirements on State and County Highways.

(2) Federal Regulations contained in 36 CFR 261.12. These regulations prohibit use in excess of State Codes for weight and size, damaging a road while using it, and blocking a road open to use by others.

The Contractor shall be responsible for and perform road maintenance commensurate with his use of Forest Service roads in the construction area.

H-8 ROAD MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

In order to fulfill the obligation to protect existing facilities, material source, and disposal site access roads from seasonal weather damage, to safeguard soil and water quality, and to repair damage commensurate with his use, the Contractor shall perform road maintenance work on these roads in accordance with the following:

1. While performing ordinary road maintenance work, the Contractor shall avoid permanent fouling of gravel or bituminous surfaces through covering them with earth or debris from side ditches, slides, or other sources. The Contractor shall avoid blading surface material off the surface of roads.

2. While performing all phases of construction, the Contractor shall minimize damage to ditches, slopes and road surfaces. Where damage does occur, the Contractor shall restore the road to its prior condition within a reasonable period of time.

3. The Contractor shall remove all excess materials and debris from asphalt roadways and trails immediately after backfilling has been completed. This may require brooming and hosing down with water.

4. On completion and acceptance of work requirements, including acceptance of road maintenance by the Forest Service, Contractor road maintenance responsibility shall terminate.
