This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Provencal, Louisiana. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

Roads which may be designated to receive maintenance under this contract are limited to: (1) Roads under Forest Service jurisdiction and (2) Roads under other local jurisdiction that are designated for Forest Service maintenance under a cooperative agreement. Work to be performed under this contract is comprised Grading Aggregate Surfaced Roads, Spot Surface Repair, Cleaning and Reshaping Ditches, Cleaning Cattleguards, Mowing, Seeding and Fertilizing, and Machine Placing Riprap. Blading operations shall be conducted over the entire riding surface in order to remove, by cutting out, all ruts, potholes, corrugations and berms. All suitable dislodged aggregate shall be smoothly redistributed over the entire riding surface to produce the proper cross slope or crown. Road structural terms are illustrated on the Typical Section drawing. The road center line shall be the high point of the road bed and have a crown sloping down at 2% to the road shoulder or ditch. Aggregate surfacing which has been worked onto road shoulders by traffic or maintenance activities shall be reclaimed and smoothly redistributed over the entire riding surface. Riding surface widths shall be perpetuated as existing. Dips and swales designed to control surface drainage shall be maintained. No undercutting of road surface nor material berms will be allowed. Assure proper surface drainage after all operations. Usual amounts of grass, leaf litter or pine straw shall be smoothly spread within the riding surface after movement sufficient to sift out surface aggregate. Where grass, leaf litter or pine straw is excessive, as determined by the Contracting Officer, this material will be piled in spots along the road shoulder and left to decay. Care shall be taken that this material does not interfere with surface drainage. Any such material shall be reclaimed in subsequent blading and smoothly spread within the riding surface. Blading operations shall be conducted as required to remove surface material and accumulated debris from concrete bridge decks. Care shall be taken not to damage any part of the bridge. All suitable material shall be smoothly redistributed over the riding surface at bridge approaches. Care will be taken to avoid blading any surface material into cattle guards. Any material deposited in cattle guards as a result of the Contractor's operation shall be cleaned out at the expense of the Contractor. Loose rocks protruding three inches or more above the graded surface shall be removed. It is permissible to waste these rocks off the riding surface away from drainage ditches.
