Paved Roads. o Operations management regularly inspects for any potential damage to the paved roads (e.g. extreme cracking of concrete pavement, impact damage, sinking or erosion of the substrate) and arranges for repairs as required. o The joints in the paved roads are resealed with an appropriate flexible sealant approximately every 5 years or as required by environmental deterioration. o Lane separations, crosswalks and traffic directions painted on the paved roads are repainted approximately every three years or as otherwise required due to wear caused by traffic and weather. • Secondary Roads o Approximately once per year the Operators smooth and level the secondary roads providing fill material as needed to renew the driving surface. o Between annual maintenance work, Operations Management remains alert for conditions that may impede the use of the Secondary Roads for necessary access to the Client facilities. Users of the facilities accessed by the Secondary Roads inform Operations Management of the need for specific repair as required to maintain access. • Service Roads: o The Operators periodically improve the Service roads utilizing a bulldozer, road-grader or other equipment as required to maintain safe access for 4WD service vehicles. Users of the Service Roads inform Operations Management of the need for specific repair as required to maintain access. • Reporting and Repair of Unsafe Conditions: Operations Management, Operators, and users of all roads are vigilant for any unsafe conditions. Operators correct these conditions immediately when feasible. When not feasible to correct with the normal available resources (defined below), the Operators advise Operations Management of the need for additional contracted maintenance or repair of the unsafe condition. The response and completion time for such needed repairs depends on the level of hazard caused by the condition. Conditions presenting serious hazard to the safe passage of vehicles are repaired within one working day or, in cases where that is not immediately possible, appropriate warning devices are deployed to warn drivers of the unsafe condition until it can be effectively repaired.
