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.

2.10 Soil Moisture – Retention of Fines. Contractor is responsible to ensure that performance does not reduce the level of fines in the road surface.

5. Measurement.

5.2. Measurement. Accepted work will be measured in miles to the nearest tenth mile along the centerline of the roadway cross section, and shall include only those roads or road portions which are ordered under the contract and completed to satisfactorily meet the contract objectives.

Measurement will be by a distance measuring instrument mounted in a Forest Service vehicle.

The measuring device will be checked for accuracy and calibrated as necessary on a section of road that has been carefully measured with a surveyor's chain. NOTE: Parking areas, turnouts, and approach road connections are considered as incidental to the main roads and shall not be measured separately. Mileage measurement includes all work on both sides of the road, regardless of the number of passes made to accomplish the work. A daily activity log has been provided in the attachments for contractor use in recording work activity.

Contractor shall submit Activity Report to COR as required.

5.2.1 Hourly Work Method of Measurement. An hour consists of 60 minutes of actual operation of equipment on authorized Government work. Moving of equipment under its own power, when so ordered by the Contracting Officer, will constitute authorized work.

Nonproductive time such as, but not restricted to, lack of operating supplies or being stuck, or moving and loading time of equipment and specified accessories, shall not constitute "actual operation". When working on the hourly portion of the contract, the government may furnish a "Service" activity/inactivity vehicle motion clock recorder and an inspector to record the contractor’s hourly operational time.

5.2.1.1 Record of Work. The government will maintain a daily written record for each piece of equipment showing:

Contract and Task Order number and work sub-item number applicable to the equipment.

Name of Contractor and Operator.
