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.

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

Our company is currently putting together a bid for Project West Milner Road, 700W to 1100W.

I am reaching out to you due to our SAM’s and our DUNS registrations. We are in the process of changing our company from a C Corp to an S Corp. Both the S Corp and the C Corp are completely qualified, licensed and insured. The C Corp is keeping our Federal EIN number and all of our registrations and in the process of changing the name from Kloepfer Inc. to Canyon Valley Concrete. The S Corp will take the name of Kloepfer Inc. and is in the process of obtaining new registrations. I am writing because we will have to do the bid under our C Corp. However; the name change is in process and not completed. Is this a problem. If so can you advise on how to move forward?

See FAR Subpart 42.12 regarding change‐of‐ name agreements.
