Special Contract Requirement changes

1. Add the following to Subsection 203.04 of the Special Contract Requirements, page J-10:

Remove pavement markings prior to placing pavement preservation treatment at locations as directed by the CO according to Subsection 420.05.

2. Replace the third to last paragraph of Subsection 420.05 of the Special Contract Requirements, page J-51:

Remove existing pavement markings at locations as directed by the CO, using sandblasting, micromilling, or other methods that will not damage the surface or texture of the pavement.

Submit removal method to the CO for approval.

3. Add the following to Subsection 703.09 of the Special Contract Requirements, page J-61:

As an alternative to the required gradation, the aggregate meeting the 78M gradation as indicated in Table 1005-1 of the 2018 NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures is acceptable. NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures, 2018 Subsection 1005-4 (a) (2), and other related NCDOT standards or specifications, do not apply. Maximum percent passing the #200 sieve shall not exceed 1.0% at the jobsite.

Response to Bidder Question:

Question: We are looking the at above referenced solicitation for the pavement preservation on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We have contacted all the quarries within reach of this project, most of which are Vulcan, and have received a lot of concerns regarding the stone specification/gradation.

So you know, a couple of quarries will not give us a price based on the given specification. Vulcan stated that they could produce the NCDOT #78M gradation, as identified in the chart below.

Amendment Info Page 3 out of 3

Response: The Government concurs that aggregate meeting the GRADATION ONLY as indicated in Table 1005-1 of the NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures, 2018 for 78M is acceptable. Note that NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures, 2018 Subsection 1005-4 (a) (2), or other related NCDOT standards or specifications, do not apply. Maximum percent passing the #200 sieve shall not exceed 1.0% at the jobsite.

Question: Can aggregate gradation #79 be used in lieu of gradation C in Table 703-7 of the FP-14?

Response: This gradation would not be accepted. The submitted gradation is too coarse for the intended application. Significant amount of aggregate can be retained on the ½” sieve.

Question: We are in receipt of addendum #1 which adds pavement removal to each schedule. Why is the linear footage for eradication only about 18% of the total paint pavement markings to be applied? Also, do we know what type of markings are to be eradicated (paint, thermos, poly, etc.)?

Response: Amendment 0002 changes to the Special Contract Requirements clarify the intent of the “removal of pavement marking” pay item. The intent is to remove any polyurea markings in advance of placing pavement preservation treatment, or as directed by the CO. It is not anticipated that all existing pavement markings will need to be removed prior to placing pavement preservation treatment.
