Questions/ Clarifications

Question 1: There are no quarries within a 100-mile radius that meet the specified gradation testing requirements. Sourcing material from available compliant quarries beyond this distance would be cost-prohibitive and would negatively impact the project budget.

Additionally, hauling aggregate from extended distances increases the risk of material degradation during transport, which could adversely affect gradation and result in noncompliance with the project specifications.

Given these constraints, we respectfully request approval to substitute VDOT-approved aggregate materials in lieu of the aggregate specified in the RFP. Please advise if this substitution would be acceptable or if additional documentation is required for consideration.

Response: With the SCR change in this amendment, the allowable No. 200 sieve has increased.

Project location is rural and EFL recognizes the concerns discussed above. However, materials must still meet the contract requirements. As stated in Amendment 1, Table 407-3 describes the point of sampling, testing and acceptance requirements so Contractor can ensure the materials used in the project are compliant.
