POCATELLO ROAD GRADING 2025 Q&As
RECEIVED BY EMAIL:
Q1. This project includes Clearing and Grubbing, it states the following, "Dispose of merchantable timber according to Subsection 201.06." Later it states to "Dispose of unsuitable or excess material at designated sites or according to Subsection 203.05(a)".
A1. Section 202.06 Special Clearing and Grubbing has been removed from the specifications. Section
203.05 (a) has been updated.
Q2. Neither 201.06 nor 203.05(a) is found in the specs.
A2. The specifications provided are a reference document to the separately published book by the
Federal Lands Highway. Only sections that are amended to this specific project are provided in the specification. The original FP-14 contains all of the unaltered sections. To download FP-14 or to obtain a hard copy, visit: https://highways.dot.gov/federal-lands/specs
Q3. Do we include the clearing and grubbing 15' above roadbed in the pay item for road reconditioning?
A3. Section 202.04 Selective Clearing has been updated to remove above roadbed clearing. It shall be up to the contractor to decide which pay item any possible clearing and grubbing work costs should be included.
Q4. How do you want the contractor to dispose of the material? under the 203.05 it gives options from E-K but does not "a" as mentioned above.
A4. Section 203.05 has been updated to address disposal of any possible material.
Q5. Can a chipper attached to an excavator be acceptable to complete this task?
A5. Clearing and Grubbing is very minimal for this project. Sections that address clearing and grubbing are instructional for the very small portions of roadway that contain this incidental work.
Q6. Is there any way to upload a few pictures of the worst parts that need to be cleared? what percent of the road has tress/branches that need cleared?
A6. There are no pictures of the project roadways. A pre-bid site tour was conducted on 09/03/2025.
Road locations have also been included in the specifications for possible contractor site visits outside of the scheduled pre-bid site tour.
