About this file

This document contains questions and answers related to a federal contract solicitation to construct a paved roadway. The solicitation seeks bids to increase the width of West Milner Road from 24 feet to 28 feet to accommodate two 12-foot lanes and 2-foot shoulders. It provides clarification that application rates for turf establishment are specified in contract documents and defines terms including slurry unit, conserved topsoil, and select topping. The document confirms that DBE goals are not required but the project has a total small business set-aside. It also states that the specified geogrid material is required to meet contract specifications and that alternate materials will not be evaluated prior to award.

West Milner Road, 700W to 1100W

# General Technical Question Answer Date

1 X

We are attempting to try and bid this project but this is the first time we have seen a seed spec with SLRY. We have asked several seed suppliers and it doesn’t appear there is a clear understanding of what SLRY is refereeing to.

We had one mention “slurry Unit” which implies mass as a proportion of volume. But that doesn’t tell us what the application rate is.

We have seen measurements such as .5 lbs/pls and .5 ac/pls but not once have we seen SLRY.

Could we please get clarification of what this is referring to and what application rate is expected

Application rates for Turf Establishment are shown under Section 625 of the Special Contract Requirements. See FP‐14 Subsection 109.02(n) for information on Slurry Unit.

4 X On the turf establishment, what’s the unit SLRY?

Would WFL accept an equivalent geogrid product based on Full‐scale laboratory and in‐ ground testing of pavement structures, in the United States, reinforced with the specific geogrid that quantifies the structural benefit of the product? The geogrid benefit must meet or exceed that of the design geogrid. A list of five comparable projects that are similar in terms of size and application, are located in the United States, and where the results of using the specific alternate geogrid material can be verified after a minimum of five years of service life

The Geogrid, stabilization shown on Plan Sheet C.3 is required to conform with Section 207 and Subsection 714.03 of FP‐

14. We do not evaluate proposed materials before award.
