magnesium chloride application, or is surface moisture the contractor's responsibility?

A: Yes, preparation includes the Government (in this case, the Forest Service Road Crew) to not only blade/grade the road so there's an even surface for magnesium chloride application but also apply water so the magnesium chloride solution can adhere to the road base more effectively.

3. The provided document stated that there is an application rate of 0.3 gallons per square yard.

This is below the manufactures' recommended rate of 0.5 gallons per square yard. Is there a reason or qualifying data to support this change?

A: 0.5 gallons per square yard is also an acceptable application rate. Per Section 312.04 of the 2024 Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal High Way Projects (FP-24), if the contractor is applying a single application, magnesium chloride shall be applied at an approved rate from 0.25 to

0.5 gallons per square yard. 0.3 gallons falls within that range, which is why it's shown on the table.

4. Also, in the next section it states that we need to schedule the application to the COR so that "preapplication road preparation" can commence. What does the pre-preparation entail, and whom is doing it?

A: Depending on award dates and Notice To Proceed, the Forest Service Road Crew will grade and blade the road, as necessary, so the contractor has an even surface for the magnesium chloride application. As such, when the Notice to Proceed is approved, the Contractor shall have an established and thorough schedule so the Forest Service can properly coordinate with their road crew to make those pre-work preparations.

5. It is in our normal practice to soak the roadway material with water prior to the MAG application for better adhesion to the sub-strait material. We would like to know if we need to include that into our quote.

A: The Forest Service Road Crew will apply water so there is a wet surface for the magnesium chloride to more effectively adhere to the road surface.

6. If it is required for us to provide pre-wetting before application of the MAG, can we draft water out of the Greys River or do we need to haul it in?

A: The Forest Service Road Crew will apply water so there is a wet surface for the magnesium chloride to more effectively adhere to the road surface.

7. Is the government or the contractor responsible for purchase and supply of Magnesium

Chloride?

A: The Contractor is responsible for purchase and supply of Magnesium Chloride.

8. Does the government have a preference on whether dry flakes or a dissolved solution is used?

A: The Contractor shall use a dissolved solution.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
