1.8.2 Specific Gravity

All Stone must have a specific gravity of not less than 2.55 and not more than 2.75.

1.8.3 Shape

Neither the breadth nor thickness of any individual stone must be less than one-third its length.

1.8.4 Gradation

Class III Riprap must be reasonably well graded within the specified limits as defined in MN 3138 AGGREGATE FOR SURFACE AND BASE COURSES.

Objectionable quantities of dirt, sand, clay, rock fines, or other deleterious materials within the riprap will not be allowed or measured for payment.

1.8.5 Gradation Processing

On the same date the material sources submittal is provided, the Contractor must also submit for approval the method of processing riprap at the quarry. The approved method must produce riprap that precludes the inclusion of objectionable amounts of fine material and organic matter.

All riprap must be processed in accordance with the approved method.

Quarry-run riprap material will not be accepted. All rock designated for use as riprap must be processed over a vibratory grizzly or by an approved method to insure the exclusion of poor quality rock.

9.1 SOURCES AND EVALUATION

9.1.1 Sources

Approved material sources are provided in the attachments. The Contractor may elect to furnish rock from alternative source(s) not included the attachment, provided the alternative source is approved by the Contracting Officer and meets the conditions hereinafter stated. If the Contractor proposes to furnish materials from a source not included in the attachment, the Government Geologist will make such investigations and evaluations as necessary to determine whether or not materials meeting the requirements of this contract can be produced from the proposed alternative source. The Contractor is responsible for making its own investigations for sources of suitable materials and for making its own arrangements with the owners of the quarries or land for procuring the required quantities of suitable materials.

2.2.1.1 Designation

Within 7 calendar days after award of the contract, the Contractor must designate and submit for approval only one material source or combination of material sources from which it proposes to furnish the materials specified. If the Contractor proposes to furnish materials from a source or from sources not included the attachment of approved material sources, it may designate only a single source or a single combination of sources from which to furnish the material specified.

Samples for acceptability testing must be provided as required by the paragraph: TESTS FOR ACCEPTABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE SOURCE MATERIAL. If a source for materials so designated by the Contractor is not approved for use by the Contacting Officer, the Contractor must not submit for approval other sources but must furnish the materials from approved sources selected from the attachment, at no additional cost to the Government.

2.2.2 Evaluation

Approval of a source of material is not to be construed as approval of all material from that source. The right is reserved by the Government to reject materials from certain localized areas, zones, strata, or channels when such material are unsuitable as determined by the Government Geologist. Materials produced from an approved source must meet all of the requirements of this specification.

1.9 TESTS FOR ACCEPTABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE SOURCE MATERIAL

1.9.1 Quality

Quality tests and service records will be used to determine the acceptability of stone materials. In the event suitable test reports and satisfactory service records are not available, as in the case of newly operated sources, the materials will be tested to determine acceptability. Tests to which the materials may be subjected to include petrographic analysis, specific gravity, soundness, abrasion, absorption, freezing and thawing, and other tests considered necessary to demonstrate acceptability. Tests will be made by, or under the supervision of, the Government and at the Government's expense.

1.9.2 Sampling

When directed by the Contracting Officer, suitable samples of materials must be submitted for approval prior to delivery of materials to the work site. Samples must be obtained by the Contractor, in the presence of the Contracting Officer or its designated representative, and delivered at the Contractor's expense to a point designated by the Contracting Officer, at least 15 calendar days in advance of the date that the material is required to be delivered.

1.10 RIPRAP GRADATION TESTING

1.10.1 General Requirements

Gradations must be performed by the methods and frequency listed below. Testing listed herein must be completed by and at the expense of the Contractor. Gradation testing results must be submitted utilizing the gradation plots for the required riprap gradation and the WORKSHEET FOR GRADATION ANALYSIS OF RIPRAP (gradation plots and blank copies of the worksheet are included in the attachments). The Contracting Officer to direct the time and location of sampling, unless waived. The Contracting Officer must be informed a minimum of 24 hours before each test is to be performed. The results of all tests, including failing tests must be submitted on the appropriate gradation plots and worksheets. The Contracting Officer must be informed immediately of test results and draft copies of test results must be submitted at the Contracting Officers request. Tests performed on material that does not meet gradation and shape requirements will not be counted as part of the tests required.

1.10.2 Test Method A

Test method A must consist of weighing all stones larger than 5 pounds in a sample. Five to seven weight classes must be selected within the range of stone sizes. Each stone must be weighed and recorded on the Riprap Gradation Analysis Worksheet, Method A. The weight of stones must be summed for each weight class; after which calculations and a plot of the gradation must be completed in accordance with accepted practice for soil and aggregate gradations.

1.10.3 Test Method B

Test method B must consist of separating the stones into 5 to 7 piles, ordered by size. The sample must be separated on a clean, hard surface that is free of smaller stones that could become mixed with the sample.

The stones must be visually screened to place them into appropriate piles. All stones must be separated and placed into a pile before weighing. After separating, the smallest and the largest rock in each pile must be weighed and recorded. The stones must be adjusted as necessary so that the weight classes do not overlap. After adjustment is adequate and weight classes have been established, each pile of stone must be weighed and recorded on the Riprap Gradation Analysis Worksheet, Method B. Calculations and a plot of the gradation must be completed in accordance with accepted practice for soil and aggregate gradations.

1.10.4 Testing

A riprap sample must be obtained from each approved material source or combination of sources for each gradation required and tested in accordance with either method A or B. A satisfactory test must be obtained from each source or combination of sources for each gradation prior to hauling any riprap from that quarry. Each sample must have a minimum gross weight of not less than 25 times the maximum stone size in the specified gradation.

1.10.5 Testing Frequency

Gradation tests will be required at a frequency of 1 per 400 tons of each gradation of material from a specific source that is brought on site, with a minimum of one test per gradation. Tests that do not meet gradation requirements will not be counted.

1.10.6 Corrective Action

If materials fail to meet gradation or shape requirements, the Contractor must adjust its operations and verify with necessary tests that acceptable materials are being produced, or it must propose another source and verify, with necessary tests, that acceptable material can be produced from that source.

If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
