H-6. 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-7. FAR 52.236-9 Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements (APR 1984)

(a) The Contractor shall preserve and protect all structures, equipment, and vegetation (such as trees, shrubs, and grass) on or adjacent to the work sites, which are not to be removed and which do not unreasonably interfere with the work required under this contract. The Contractor shall only remove trees when specifically authorized to do so, and shall avoid damaging vegetation that will remain in place. If any limbs or branches of trees are broken during contract performance, or by the careless operation of equipment, or by workman, the Contractor shall trim those limbs or branches with a clean cut and paint the cut with a tree-pruning compound as directed by Contracting Officer.

(b) The Contractor shall protect from damage all existing improvements and utilities (1) at or near the work site and (2) on adjacent property of a third party, the location of which are made know to or should be known by the Contractor. The Contractor shall repair any damage to those facilities, including those that are the property of a third party, resulting from failure to comply with the requirements of this contract or failure to exercise reasonable care in performing the work. If the Contractor fails or refuses to repair the damage promptly, the Contracting Officer may have the necessary work performed and charge the cost to the Contractor

H-8. 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-9. Special Equipment Cleaning Requirements

All earth moving equipment (loaders, excavators, dump trucks, etc.) moved to the job site shall be cleaned of weeds and their seeds prior to each entrance onto the National Forest lands. Cleaning shall consist of the removal of all dirt, grease, debris, and materials that may harbor noxious weeds and their seeds. This may require the use of a pressure hose.

Equipment shall be made available for visual inspection by the Forest Service prior to entering Forest Service lands. The Contractor shall advise of a proposed date for mobilization. Inspections will take place at mutually agreeable en-route locations in advance of entry onto National Forest lands.

Special care shall be taken to assure removal of the following noxious weeds and their seeds:

spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa) diffuse knapweed (C. diffusa) yellow starthistle (C. solstitialis) gorse (Ulex europaeus) rush skeletonweed (Chondrilla juncea) tansy ragwort (Senecio jecobaea) purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) distaff thistle (Carthamus lanatus) scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius)

The Contractor shall take special care under this contract to prevent contamination of water at the work sites with any petroleum residues from mechanical equipment operations. This shall include daily inspection and cleaning as appropriate.

H-10. State Permits

Roads in the project work area necessary to complete the project are designated as "within the immediate construction project" for consideration under ORS 767.025 as to the nonapplicability of PUC requirements.

H-11. Final Cleanup

Contractor shall remove and dispose all of its own trash and refuse from the contract area. Material to be removed includes, but is not limited to camp refuse such as tin cans, aluminum foil, glass, paper, garbage, used engine oil, oil filters, oil cans, grease cartridges, etc. The Contractor shall also remove and dispose of upon completion of the trail construction, all stakes, old culverts, flagging, and similar debris within the project area. This Cleanup is a subsidiary item for which no special payment will be made. All debris shall be disposed off National Forest Land and in accordance with State and Local disposal requirements.

H-12. Industrial Camps

Forest Service regulations for Use of Campgrounds prohibit occupancy of developed recreation sites for other than primarily recreation purposes. No industrial camping will be authorized at these sites.

A special use permit is required on National Forest land for industrial camps. These permits are to be obtained by the Contractor through the Contracting Officer. Such permission, if granted, will be without charge to the Contractor but may include use restrictions.

One self-contained camp unit will be allowed at each staging area and equipment or supply dump for use by a watchman.

H-13. 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-14. 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-15. 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.
