RESTRIPE MULTIPLE PARK ROADS

ZION NATIONAL PARK

RFQ# 140P1222Q0057

AMENDMENT 0001

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1. QUESTION: Can an exception be made to use a triple axel truck in lieu of double axel truck if the contractor provides a pre-warning vehicle in front and a follow truck in the rear of the striping truck? This project requests the striping to be performed during the operating times from

9 PM and 6 AM so the traffic impact should be minimum.

The following language is included in the Statement of Work & Specifications:

h. Striping Machine:

i. Striping machine shall be capable of accurately superimposing succeeding coats of traffic paint upon the first coat and upon existing stripes at a speed of at least 5 miles per hour.

ii. The striping machine shall consist of a double-axle rubber-tired vehicle that is maneuverable to the extent that straight lines can be followed and normal curves can be made in true arcs. It shall be capable of applying traffic paints and glass beads at the rates specified.

It shall be capable of maintaining at least 5 miles per hour during applications, regardless of road terrain or grade.

1. A double-axle line striper is required. Park roadways are narrow and turns cannot be safely negotiated by triple-axle vehicles. Grades are such that non-street licensed stripe application equipment overcome roadway grades and meet application requirements. This restriction is necessary to ensure work can be accomplished safely and accurately and to reduce damage to

Government and personal property.

ANSWER: No exceptions on this one. The Park had a contractor try and use this before with not very good results. One huge issue that contractors need to realize is that big parts of the road way are reddish in color so any kind of a miss cannot be blacked out and re-done like normal black asphalt roads.
