# General Technical Question Answer Date

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; and FP‐14 Subsection 109.02(n), which also provides additional information on Slurry Unit. See FP‐14 Subsection 109.02(n) for information on Slurry Unit.

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
