PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Frenchman Lake Roads Reconstruction project consists of grinding the existing AC and chip sealed surfaces and blending the pulverized material with a 1” course equivalent of crushed base aggregate, placing a 3” course of hot asphalt, replacing corrugated metal culverts, repairing a cattle guard, and painting fog-lines on each edge or the new asphalt. Option 1 is included and consists of reconditioning and paving road 25N11F, the access to the Frenchman Fire Station.

Specific Requirements for the Base items are:

• All existing AC and chip seal pavement is to be pulverized, blended with additional aggregate, reshaped, and compacted. Minimum thickness shall be 4”.


• Apply a prime coat to compacted aggregate.


• Placing, shaping, and compacting hot-mix asphalt concrete to produce a single compacted 3” course.


• Repairing the cattle guard on 25N11.


• Remove and disposing off Forest Service land, two existing 18” metal culverts. Furnish and replace with 24” corrugated steel culvert pipes (CMPs) with flared end-sections.


• Furnish and install six traffic control signs (locations TBD) and four object markers on the repaired cattle guard.


• Traffic control for public assess to campgrounds and other Forest Service facilities.
