Access Road The asphalt access road which crosses through the Project Area must be returned to a condition at least equal to its pre-construction condition. CONTRACTOR shall accomplish any repairs to the road which are necessary as a result of construction related activities. Such repairs may include, but may not be limited to grading, filling to eliminate low spots and patching with asphaltic materials. Note that other, adjacent landowners may use this road to access their properties during construction. CONTRACTOR shall exercise an appropriate level of caution in order to ensure that a safe work place is maintained for the duration of the Project. Measurement and Payment There will be no measurement for payment. Payment for this task will be reflected in a lump sum bid under Item 1 on the Bid Schedule. This lump sum bid will cover all costs for Mobilization and Demobilization. Payment shall be made as described in General Bid Specifications 1996, Specification 1.0, Mobilization / Demobilization. TASK 2 SLASH REDUCTION The purpose of this task is to reduce the timber and shrub slash located in the designated stockpiles into useable material. A machine shall be used to grind/pulverize /shred or otherwise reduce the material sufficiently so that particles no greater than four inches (4") long, two inches (2") wide and one half inch (1/2")thick are created. Ground materials which are larger than this particle size shall be segregated from the grinder discharge, and will be run through the grinder again until the specified particle size is reached. The stockpiled slash material varies in diameter from between one half inch (1/2") and twelve inches (12"), with four to six inches (4"to 6") estimated to be the average diameter. Rock and soil has been observed to be intermittently mixed with the slash materials. These materials may be segregated from the slash prior to grinding. Larger rock (that which is larger than eight to ten inches [8"to 10"] in diameter), shall be stockpiled in a convenient, adjacent area. Smaller soil and rock materials which are segregated from the slash material shall be stockpiled separately as they are; generated. The fine grained ground slash shall be accumulated in stockpile(s) located in the vicinity of the grinding operation. These stockpile(s) may be located at the CONTRACTORS convenience. Each individual stockpile shall be well defined and kept in a workman like manner in order to maintain an orderly workplace, and in order to facilitate removal and dispersion as addressed in Task 4, Incorporate Materials. Measurement and Payment There will be no measurement for payment. Payment for this task will be reflected in a lump sum bid under Item 2 on the Bid Schedule. This lump sum bid will cover all costs necessary and incidental to segregating and stockpiling earthen materials as they are separated from the slash, reducing the slash to the specified dimensions, and stockpiling the reduced slash materials. The lump sum price shall include all equipment, machinery and labor necessary to complete the Task as described in this specification. Payment will be made only for the price bid in Item 2 of the Bid Schedule, and as work is completed and approved by PROJECT MANAGER. 7 I
