Under this contract, sections of asphalt-paved roadway and trail that were damaged by the floods of 1997 shall be repaired. The following tasks shall be completed: salvage delaminated asphalt pavement that has been washed from paved surfaces, plane damaged road surfaces to create a suitable base for over-pavement, patch areas of asphalt unsuitable for planing for subsequent over-pavement, repair shoulder washout areas with erosion controls and revegetation, resurface roadway and trail areas with asphaltic cement, and install provided gate structure between the south end of the trail and the access roadway. Because right-of-way agreements involving nearby construction sites permit use of the roadway and trail by heavy trucks, these tasks will be delayed until Spring 1999. Do not expect work area to be accessible until approximately May 15, 1999. Notice to Proceed will not be issued until such time. Statement of magnitude $25,000-$100,000.
