DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, and incidentals to furnish, deliver, and tailgate spread or stockpile crushed aggregate on Forest Service roads in compliance with contract terms, specifications, and provisions. Crushed aggregate will be hauled to Forest Service Roads or project locations in Polk, Monroe, or McMinn counties, Tennessee on an as-needed, requirements basis. Aggregate provided shall be one or more of any of the following TDOT gradations: crusher run, grade 57, 4, and riprap 3" - 10". Approximately 90% of the quantity ordered will be either crusher run or Grade 57. COR will indicate to the contractor the quantity, gradation, and delivery location per issuance of Task Orders. Actual quantities of aggregate to be furnished and hauled will be based on prices submitted and funds available at time of need. Estimated quantities are shown in the Schedule of Items, below. These quantities are not a representation that the estimated quantities will be required or ordered or that conditions affecting requirements will be stable or normal. The estimates were obtained from records of previous requirements, projected need from work plans, or by other means, and are based on the most current information available. The actual quantities of aggregate placed shall be compensated in accordance with the established units and unit prices in the Schedule of Items regardless of the aggregate gradation. The weight of the aggregate shall be reduced by moisture content in excess of 7%. Existing aggregate road surface will require no grading prior to placement of aggregate. LOCATION: Roads are located on the Ocoee and Tellico Ranger Districts, Cherokee National Forest, in Polk, McMinn, and Monroe Counties, Tennessee (See Attachments for the following: List of Potential Forest Service Roads, Polk County Map, and Monroe County Map.) DELIVERY: Start date and contract time for each task order shall be determined by the CO at the time of issuance of the order and will be weather dependent; coordination with other Forest Service contract work may be required. Placement of aggregate shall be as directed by the Forest Service on-site representative. Delivery times shall be scheduled so as to arrive at placement locations between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday unless prior arrangements have been agreed upon. There may be individual days or a series of days when delivery is not needed during the task order period of performance. The term of this contract is one year from date of award. EQUIPMENT: Trucks used for hauling the aggregate material shall have a clean, tight bed, and shall have a minimum payload capacity of 20 tons. The number of trucks required per task order will vary from one to three. INSPECTION: Inspection of equipment shall be allowed during all segments of the delivery process. Acceptance of the in-place aggregate shall be contingent upon approval by the Forest Service. Materials and in-place product shall comply with TDOT specifications.
