South Fork Salmon River (SFSR) Trail Bridge:

1. The general notes specify two options for preservative treatment” “PENTACHLOROPHENOL IN LIGHT OIL (TYPE C SOLVENT) or COPPER NAPHTHENATE (CuN) IN LIGHT OIL (TYPE C SOLVENT” for the decking and running planks. These treatments are no longer available. Please advise what other treatments may be used. Of the heavy-oil treatments specified for the remaining members, only CuN is available. Remaining supplies of Penta are minimal, and it is not a viable option. For the decks and running planks the contractor can propose any preservative meeting the UC3B retention levels, to be approved by the COR. Some alternatives include CA-C, ACQ, and Klear Gard25.

2. Please confirm that galvanized hardware is not required except for deadman rods and 16d nails, as it is not called for on the Bill of Hardware. That is correct, however the use of some of the alternate preservatives may require galvanized or poly-coated hardware
