The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest decommissions roads to reduce erosion and landslide risks; protect and restore water quality, watershed function and condition; and improve soil productivity. This contract includes road decommissioning and related work in compliance with its terms, specifications, and provisions. This includes furnishing labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals.

b. Description of Work. The Middle Bugs Road Decommissioning project consists of decommissioning approximately 13 miles of road in the Orogrande Creek watershed using Roadway Obliteration Method I (recontour) and placing 4.6 miles of road into long-term storage using Roadway Obliteration Method II (outslope). Additional decommissioning and road maintenance may be determined and would be directed by the C.O. Road decommissioning treatments include drainage structure removal, decompaction, recontouring, strong outsloping and seeding of disturbed areas. All fill material and culverts in stream channel crossings and dry swales will be removed. Stream channels will be restored to natural grade and dimensions and grade control structures installed. Native vegetation, slash and duff material available on site will be transplanted to the decompacted and recontoured or outsloped roadway. Project roads include segments with gradients >25%, multiple fill and cutslope failures that require reconstruction for access, and deep fills. Trees greater than 20" DBH exist on some segments which may be worked around and preserved or may have to be removed for access or to ea.
