About this file
This document provides questions and answers regarding Solicitation 1282B123R0026 for rock crushing services at the Mill Creek Summit Pit project located on the Emmett Ranger District, Boise National Forest in Idaho. The solicitation seeks a contractor to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and supplies to perform rock crushing and develop a surface aggregate course from the Mill Creek Summit Pit. The primary access route to the project site is via Forest Road 618, which the contractor should assess for accessibility. Excavation of material needed to generate and process aggregate is unclassified, and any rock excavation would be incidental to the bid item for crushing and stockpiling surface course aggregate. The crushed aggregate must meet plasticity requirements specified in Forest Service Supplemental Specification 703. The contractor must also submit a plan of operation for approval that includes details for reclaiming the pit upon project completion by sloping it to drain and rounding off abrupt slopes. Stockpile geometry and locations are specified in FP-14 314 and FSSS 314, with approximate locations shown on the project plans.
