Contractor will be responsible for removing obstructions in the roadway and ditch lines that the motor grader does not remove. This will consist of removing loose rocks over three (3) inches in diameter from the roadway after blading operations and cleaning culvert inlets, outlets and catch basins to previously constructed lines so that the flow of water to and from the culvert is not impeded. All fallen trees, limbs, or other obstructions within the roadway clearing width (from tree line to tree line) and roadway ditch line, at the inlet and outlet of culverts or in the lateral ditches shall be removed and disposed of outside of the tree line. This is considered incidental to surface blading.

Work shall be done by pulling the road surface material from both shoulders of the road to the center. The shoulders of the road will be bladed from the top of the Inslope on each side of the road to allow road to drain into the ditches. The material shall then be graded across the entire surface of the road, leaving a crown in the road. Roads graded by this method shall be free of loose stones over three (3) inches in diameter and have no encroachment from the shoulders. No accumulation of over-size rock, sod or debris will be permitted on the roadway or shoulders. All usable material shall be incorporated on road. Only with COR approval will it be permissible to grade unusable material from roadway. In no case will unusable material be disposed of on fenced or open private land.

Out sloped road segments shall be graded from the high side to the low side and back to the high side leaving no crown in the road. No accumulation of unusable material will be permitted on the roadway or shoulders.

All roads that have ditch lines shall be pulled and outlet ditches cleaned out, so water drainage works properly where the road has failed. Roads that have suffered damage due to outlet ditch failure shall have the ditch line leading into the outlet pulled and the outlet ditch reopened to allow water to drain. Blading shall be completed to allow surface water to drain directly into the roadside ditches without interruption by berms or windrows of excess surfacing material. This is considered incidental to surface blading.

Drainage dips and "V" dips shall be maintained with sufficient depth and width to adequately drain the roadway, and in no case will they be removed or filled in. The lower ends shall be shaped to adequately drain away from the roadway. Swales and humps of drainage dips and "V" dips shall be maintained so that traffic flows smoothly with no abrupt up or down motion. This is considered incidental to surface blading.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

CULVERT INSTALATION/REPLACEMENT:

EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS: The equipment to be used for culvert installation and or replacement shall be a backhoe loader.

Excavate trenches in natural ground to permit satisfactory joining of the culvert sections and thorough tamping of the bedding material under and around the culvert. Excavate trenches to a minimum width equal to the culvert diameter plus 2 feet. The bedding for the pipes shall be 1” crushed base aggregate and shall be no less than 0.5 feet in depth and equal to the width and length of the excavated trench.

Native material, free from rocks greater than 3” in diameter, will be placed around the pipe and compacted. The top of the culvert will have no less than 1 foot of compacted fill placed over the culvert and will be uniformed with the road surface. No dips in the fill material will be allowed.

Pipes will be skewed 30%, where obtainable to allow for proper drainage. Deviation of skew must be approved by the COR prior to placing the culvert. Ensure that the final installed alignment of all pipe allow no reverse grades and does not permit horizontal and vertical alignment to vary from a straight line from center of inlet to center of outlet by more than 2 percent (%) of pipe center length or 1.0 feet, whichever is less.

Retrenching of outlet ditch to allow drainage away from the outlet of the pipe may be necessary.

This is considered incidental to culvert installation or replacement.

Corrugated metal pipe shall be new in condition, 0.064” in thickness and approved by the COR prior to placing them in the roads. Culverts will be American made. Culverts that do not comply will be removed and replaced at the expense of the contractor.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) Culverts shall be new in condition and installed according to pipe manufacturer’s specifications. Culverts will be American made. Culverts that do not comply will be removed and replaced at the expense of the contractor.

The normal maintenance period will be April 8 to November 15. The Contractor shall follow all State and Federal regulations, including OSHA guidelines.

This statement of work consists of completing the tasks/subtasks in Section 5 to the performance requirements of the technical specifications. Mileages listed have been determined by electronic distance meter.

AGGREGATE PLACEMENT:

EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS: The equipment to be used for aggregate placement shall be dump trucks. Pup trailers are permissible.

This work shall consist of delivery and tailgate or placing of specified aggregate to the locations determined by the COR. The depth, width and length of the aggregate spread shall be determined by the COR prior to aggregate being delivered to the roads. Aggregate shall be spread in uniform layers. Excess material shall be spread to conform to the beginning and ending of previous loads that have been placed on the road. Crushed aggregate shall comply with Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, Section 310.2 and specifically to Section 1006, Grade B, INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

INSPECTION:

Equipment Inspection:

The Government will inspect the contractor's equipment prior to the beginning of work to determine if the equipment complies with the terms, specifications, and provisions of the contract.

Equipment that does not comply must be replaced or deficiencies corrected prior to the beginning of work. This will be at the expense of the contractor.

Inspection of work: Inspection of three (3) or more completed roads will be performed by the COR or his inspector within three (3) workdays following notification of completion of the work. A road is identified in the Project List by number and mileage to be maintained. Timely inspection and acceptance of completed roads will require close coordination between the Contractor and the COR.

A procedure and schedule for final inspection will be agreed upon by the Contractor and the Government at the pre-work conference.

ACCEPTION:

Acceptance will be determined by inspection of work performed and will be based on adherence to the specifications within the contract.
