"28.NARRATIVE REPORT: A Pre-Bid meeting was held on FR152 at the intersection with FR327. The attendees are as follows: Craig Dean of Craig Dean Construction. Rob Eaton of Duffy, Inc. Jerry Auman of Auman Brothers Construction.

I reviewed the RFP, and information requested for the Project. The requirement for having certified equipment operators for working around utility lines was reviewed, and the need to supply proper certificates. The Following Questions were asked, and will need clarification posted on the online system.

1. Q: The Casing pipe size of 22" A: was determined very difficult to find. We will allow for 20" or 24" casing to be acceptable.

2. Q: Can the casing pipe be used, and if so does certification of the Buy USA stand since it cannot be verified for each individual culvert. A: We have in the past allowed used casing pipe for culverts, and each one gets inspected for soundness and stability.

3. Q: What is the wall thickness requirement for the steel casing? A: Minimal pipe wall thickness of.250 steel casing Item #60201-C Can be 20”, 22”, or 24” Diameter

4. Q: The millings of pavement included in the 20404 Roadway Excavation line item may they be used in the road base areas. A: We could allow this, and may be helpful given the recent storms added to damages near that work area. The removal of the pavement is listed in the work description and could be used on site.

I explained the Erosion control, the additional Excavation, and Roadway excavation items. The contractors reviewed the work in the field and may have additional questions prior to submitting.

Recent storms have caused erosion and several additional culverts to become plugged in the work area included in the RFP. The forest leadership may want to complete a modification after award to include this work.
