Clarification question regarding the full depth of reclamation. On sheet C.1, the typical section shows the full depth reclamation including the

2" crushed aggregate. Does the 2" aggregate get placed prior to the pulverization so that its mixed in or is it meant to be placed after the

Pulverization?

The 2-inch Crushed Aggregate layer should be placed and spread upon the existing roadway prior to pulverization. The intent is for the new aggregate to be incorporated into the pulverized asphalt and subbase material during the reclamation process to create a homogenous, stabilized base section of the specified 6-inch depth. Please note that payment for the crushed aggregate is incidental to Pay Item Number

"30402-5300 - FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION,

METHOD 2, 6-INCH DEPTH," per Section

304 of the Special Contract Requirements

(SCRs) and the Standard Specifications for

Construction of Roads and Bridges on

Federal Highway Projects FP-14 Manual.

The Government does not provide this since bidders may obtain the registered vendors list (aka planholders list) from sam.gov after linking their entity to their registration. The

Interested Vendor’s List is listed for every solicitation posted to SAM.gov. If you are signed into SAM.gov with your registered entity and you cannot see the Interested

Vendors List , you will need to be assigned the Contract Opportunities Administrator role for your entity in SAM.gov.
