The hardened aggregate surface (rock dust) and/or aggregate base is specified for details 2/G-9 Aggregate Base Apron and 2/G-11 Hardened Aggregate Surface.

3. RFI Question: Is the Forest Service willing to allow the contractor to “Camp” on site during the construction period?

mailto:sales.permapost@gmail.com

Permapost Products Co. informed that: We may not have enough Penta to run these. Penta has been banned and we have 5 years to get rid of what we have. We have been reducing our inventory of Penta for a little while and we may have to switch the Penta treatment to Copper Naphthenate.

• Timber steps shall be CA (Copper Azoles) or CA-C, (Type A) and UC4A Ground Contact, 6x6 #2/Better Douglas Fir Pressure Treated S4S Green in color or approved equal by the Forest Service.

• Rebar shall be hot dip galvanized. The CA or CA-C treatment requires hot dip galvanized rebar.
