SCOPE OF SERVICES

I. GENERAL:

The work can be generally described as the excavation, removal, and replacement of damaged culverton Trimble Road just North of Range Control Range Gate entry within the Fort Pickett Training Area. Culvert is crushed from the top, invert has completely rusted out, and slope protection has washed away. All existing pipe is Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) and will be replaced with Polymer Coated arched/elongated pipe. Length is approx. 60 feet with a 48” span. The roads will be restored to pre-excavation conditions to include trench compaction, guardrail replacement/removal, spreading stone base and grading to drain. The work is considered to be non-capital construction.

II. SUMMARY OF WORK

a. The failed culvert on Trimble Road near the Range Entry gate is 48” CMP. This pipe is 2’ below the road surface. Remove pipe, reinstall approx. 60LF of 48” span, 16 GA Polymer Coated arched/elongated Pipe.

b. Remove grouted rip rap inlet/outlet protection and store on site for re-use. Place geotextile fabric to assist with slope stabilization prior to VDOT rip rap type II placement per VDOT Spec.

c. There is a wood guardrail system (approx. 83” East Side and 87” West side’) on both sides of the road. Remove only what is necessary to replace culvert, store and then reinstall at completion of project ensuring proper run-on/run-off flair. The contractor is responsible for the secure storage of all the components to this system, to include horizontal timber, wood post, steel backer plates and bolts, nuts and washers. Shortages will be the contractor's responsibility to replenish. Contractor to quote for an allowance for any sections found that will need to be replaced due to deterioration.
