Stanley Lake –

1. Our calculation of this road is 4.17 miles x 24’ = 58,688 SY. Bid item shows CQ of 48,576. Is it the intent of doing the entire road or just a portion?

0. The length of road that is used for the calculations is 3.6 miles, from the drawing 18,984 feet, with a width of 23 feet. The mileage mentioned in Section C, of 4.4 miles is from an older length that no longer exists. The FS will change the method of measurement to Actual Quantity (AQ) SY so that both the contractor and FS can measure it together after award.

1. Our calculations covered mainline only and does not include approaches, or turnouts. Is it the intention to only do only mainline?

1. The intention is to chip seal the mainline, the approaches, and turnouts.

1. At the site visit, the areas of asphalt repair totaled approx. 576 SY. The current bid items show 65SY of Removal of asphalt, patching with 15 tons of asphalt for repair. Because the areas appear to be road settling depressions it appears that an asphalt scrub patch could fill the depression equally as well and would then be locked in with the chip seal. Please advise how you would like these items to be bid.

2. An asphalt scrub patch will be acceptable, disregard the note from the previous amendment regarding ‘preference will be given to…’. No preference will be given.

1. In the description of work, Pg 9, C.1 it calls for 6” of road base mix. Is it the intent to import 6” of ¾” Road Base over the full 1.7 miles and place and compact it on top of the pulverized asphalt thus raising the entire road 6” or is the pulverized asphalt to be considered as the 6“ of road base mix?

0. The pulverized asphalt is to be considered as the 6” of road base mix. There is no expectation to import road base.

1. The intent of the project is to chipseal the entire roadway including the first 1.7 miles that is being reconstructed. We are adding optional bid items to the schedule of items. See New schedule of Items.
