GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

2.1 Moving of Equipment and Supplies. The moving of equipment and supplies to the job site shall be the contractor's responsibility and is incidental to Pay Item and no separate payment shall be made.

2.2 Replacement of Equipment. Contractor shall provide quality equipment capable of safely performing the work under the terms of the contract. All repairs are the total responsibility of the Contractor.

2.3 Equipment Performance Standards. Contractor shall make equipment available for inspection and approval before use.

The Contractor must satisfy all applicable OSHA and DOT requirements or certifications for the operation of offered equipment.

2.4 Pollution and Erosion Control. During all operations under this contract, the Contractor shall exercise reasonable measures to direct surface runoff water to stabilized waterways and to keep the drainage systems functioning effectively to prevent or minimize soil erosion and pollution of water and other resources. All refuse, including garbage, rubbish, and solid or liquid wastes from the Contractor's operations, including camps, parking areas, and equipment maintenance areas shall be stored and collected in a sanitary manner and disposed of in a State- approved sanitary landfill.

Oil from crankcases or gear boxes, equipment waste or spilled or excess fuel shall be placed in containers and removed from the work site and disposed of as approved and required by Federal, State and Local laws.

Equipment uses for operations in close proximity to streams or bodies of water will be required to meet more stringent requirements regarding seals and fittings that prevent the leaking of hydraulic fluids, lubricants and fuels. Failure to comply will result in immediate rejection of equipment.

2.5 Grading and Shaping. Performance of Road Maintenance includes grading and shaping the roadbed, including shoulders and turnouts and removing ruts, washes, slough, and other irregularities that prevent normal runoff from the road surface. Where equipment is used to remove excessive, large, or deleterious (damaging) material from the shaped road templet, material to be wasted shall not be placed in a drainage or within 300 feet of a live stream. The end result shall be the restoration and maintenance of the original cross section, grade and drainage of the road.

2.5.1 – Grading to restore surface without loss of aggregate/gravel surfacing or disturbance or loss of road base material. Performance on gravel surfaced road shall be accomplished so the base is not disturbed and no surface material is lost in ditches or over the road shoulders. Grading of unsurfaced roads shall be performed so no base material is lost. Surface material shall be bladed from one edge of the road to the other in a berm in order to eliminate any segregation prior to spreading. Sections having segregated materials after spreading shall be reprocessed and spread.

Oversized material exceeding 6 inches in size removed by equipment shall be disposed of by side casting over the fill slope except within 100 feet each side of culverts, other stream crossings or within 300’ of a perennial stream that is inhabited by fish, 150’ from a perennial steam not inhabited by fish and 100’ from any intermittent stream.

No berm or ridge of any material shall be left along either shoulder of the roadbed unless directed by the Contracting Office or designated representative.

2.5.2 – Elimination of ruts, potholes, and washes. These defects shall be repaired by scarifying or cutting to the bottom of such defects to provide for uniform compaction of roadbed material. Large rock or organic material removed from drainage facilities during cleaning process shall not be used as fill. High grading, or any method which merely fills depressions with loose material, does not eliminate the defect or provide for uniform compaction and is therefore not acceptable.

2.5.3 – Repair of Settlement sections shall be performed where possible by cutting from the roadbed on each end of the settled area and filling into the settled area to provide smooth transitions to adjacent road grades. If this will not accomplish the objective, the COR shall be informed.

2.5.4 - Grading and shaping operations shall not undercut road back slopes.

2.5.5 - Sections of roads constructed without roadside ditch shall be uniformly insloped or outsloped the entire width of the roadbed, unless otherwise specified on each individual task order (i.e. crowning). The inslope or outslope grade shall be a minimum of 2 percent and a maximum of 4 percent unless staked otherwise on the ground.

2.5.6 - Existing drainage dips shall be cleaned and the outslope grade restored to equal or exceed the gradient of the road.

2.5.7 - Sections of roads constructed with a roadside ditch shall be bladed and reshaped to maintain crown at centerline of the roadbed, or insloped except on curves where crown is omitted. Road cross section shall slope uniformly both ways from crown apex to shoulders at a minimum blade of 2 percent and a maximum blade of 4 percent.

2.5.8 - At the conclusion of the grading and shaping operations the roadbed shall be smoothed and dressed to produce a uniform grade and cross section and a surface free of hollows, depressions, and projections above the adjacent roadbed surface. No berm or ridge or any material shall be left along either shoulder of the roadbed unless directed by the COR.

2.6 Roller Compaction of Roadway, turnouts, and intersections. Adjust moisture content of roadway material to a moisture content suitable for compaction. Operate vibratory steel wheeled rollers with a minimum dynamic force of 30,000 pounds (130 kilonewtons) impact per vibration over the full width of each layer until there is no visible evidence for further consolidation.

2.7 Drainage Facilities - Cleaning and Repair

2.7.1 - Wood, rocks, and other debris shall be removed from roadside drainage ditches to provide unobstructed flow of water and disposed of on the jobsite as directed by the Contracting Officer's Representative. The back slope of the ditch shall not be undercut by ditch cleaning operations; and the slope to road shoulder shall be maintained at an approximate ratio of 3:1 from the bottom of the ditch to the edge of the roadbed. Roadside ditches shall not be excavated to a depth of greater than 2 feet below roadbed grade. Typical depth of roadside drainage ditches below roadbed is one foot. Existing ditch dikes shall be restored, reshaped, and compacted as needed for effective drainage through culverts.

Slope, grade, and shape all drainage features. Remove projecting roots, stumps, rock, or similar obstructions which have the potential to block water from entering the structure or divert water outside the defined channel.

2.7.2 - On aggregate-surfaced roads, material may be bladed across the road provided it is not deposited in ruts, washes, or chuckholes in the road surface. Such material shall be side cast on stable fill slopes or natural ground out of streambeds, streams, or other waterways. No side casting will be permitted on roads paralleling streams where the ground slope from the outside road shoulder to the stream edge is steeper than 2:1. On roads without aggregate surfacing, surface soil with rocks less than 3 inches in greatest dimension may be spread evenly over the adjacent roadbed.

2.7.3 - Remove from bridge decks all rock and other material that would create a hazard to traffic or is otherwise detrimental to the traveled surface.

2.8 Spot Surfacing

Load, haul, and place surface material to repair or stabilize road surfaces.

Spot surfacing is complete when the material has been placed, spread, and compacted.

300 cubic yards shall be delivered, placed, spread, and compacted. (include in Item 1 LS price) Note: The Option Item is for additional aggregate that may be ordered as needed.

2.9 Roadside Clearing and Grubbing. This work consists of clearing and grubbing vegetation and the removal of logs and windfall within the traveled way, shoulders, turnouts, intersections, ditches, drainage dips, catch basins, surface water deflectors and minor drainage structures.

Remove vegetation and obstructions from the work area which interfere with road surface maintenance, drainage feature maintenance, and drainage features.

Vegetation greater than 3’ in length and 2” diameter shall be scattered outside of the work area and water courses.

2.10 Maintenance of Traffic and Use of Warning Devices. The Contractor shall provide, erect, and maintain all necessary traffic control and devices for the protection of the work and public safety. The traffic control includes areas where operations may interfere with the use of the road or trail by traffic and at all intermediate points where the new work crosses or coincides with an existing road or trail. All traffic control methods and devices shall conform with the current edition of the Manual Uniform Traffic Control.

Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD), published by the Federal Highway Administration and applicable safety codes.

2.11 Removal of Obstructions. All fallen trees, limbs, brush, small slides or debris in the travel-way or road ditch line shall be removed and scattered outside the travel-way and ditch line.

2.12 Damage to Structures. The Contractor shall be held liable and is responsible for any damage caused by his/her personnel or equipment to any existing traffic loops, cattle guards, culverts, signs, and riprap protecting culvert inlets or fill slopes. Repair to these structures shall be at the Contractor's expense. Traffic loops will be marked on the ground with lath and fluorescent pink ribbon.

2.13 Soil Moisture – Retention of Fines. Contractor is responsible to ensure that performance does not reduce the level of fines in the road surface. Therefore, operations may be suspended when soil moisture conditions are not favorable for obtaining a satisfactory result. Suitable moisture conditions are determined to be in excess of 12 percent and less than 25 percent by weight unless otherwise authorized by the COR.

3. ACCEPTANCE REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Contractor Quality Control Plan. The Contractor shall submit a Quality Control Plan (QCP) before any work begins that demonstrates how the Contractor will assure that quality of performance meets the objectives and requirements of the contract.
