About this file

This document contains answers to technical questions regarding Oregon Department of Transportation Solicitation Number 69056721B000007 for the OR DOT 20(3)/US 20 Upper Sunken Grade Slide Repair project. The questions and answers clarify specifications around unsuitable material excavation and placement, asphalt removal requirements, and whether wall excavation and backfill are incidental line items. One response indicates project details will be addressed in Amendment A002, with compaction testing also required. Removal of only material over 12 inches is specified, though unsuitable material must be hauled off. Asphalt thickness varies from 2 to 20 feet but may remain if deemed suitable base material.

If the material that is generated from the wall excavation (As shown on sheet F.6) is saturated or found to be unsuitable, is it allowed to be placed back in its original position for the wall backfill since it is out of the roadway prizm?

Unsuitable material is not allowed for embankment construction or structural backfill. See FP‐14 Subsections 204.10 and 208.03.

The Specs (204.13 (e)) read to only remove material larger than 12 inches but nothing about unsuitable material being hauled off. Will there be compaction testing requirements for this item as well?

This will be addressed under Amendment A002. Also see FP‐14 Subsection 204.14.

From years of continuous AC patching for the sinking roadway, there is a high probability that the roadway AC may be 2 to 10 feet thick.

(Locals say there may be as much as 20 feet of

ac) If this is the case, does the Federal Highway department view the ac as suitable materials as specified in section 101, therefore it can remain in place at the subrade. Or is it deemed unsuitable and all the asphalt needs to be removed and replaced?

See FP‐14 Subsection 203.04(b). 6/4/21
