Questions and Answers during Advertisement for CA FLAP RED 2017(3), Sacramento Island Trail
June 1, 2022
Questions Answers 1 The solicitation includes prime coat however it is our understanding that emulsified asphalt prime coat material is no longer available in California. Can prime coat be excluded from the contract? If prime coat is required, please provide some additional information on mix designs or product data.
Prime coat will not be excluded from the contract. Emulsified asphalt meeting the requirements of Subsection 702.02, including grades CSS-1, CSS-1h, SS-1, and SS-1h, will be allowed and are available in California.
2 The typical local/state mix is primarily a "super-pave" mix design with 1/2" aggregate and PG 64-10 oil. Can this mix be utilized in lieu of the specified mix design?
State department of transportation asphalt concrete mixes are allowed that meet the requirements of Subsection 403.02(a).
3 The solicitation requires that the 3” asphalt concrete pavement be placed in two lifts. Will this be required for the trail paving or can the asphalt concrete pavement on the trail be placed in one lift?
The 3” asphalt concrete pavement for the trail portion of the project may be placed in one or two lifts. The parking lot portion of the project requires two pavement lifts. Pavement surfaces will be evaluated per Subsection
403.11 – Pavement Straightedge Measurement.
4 Section 153 of the solicitation includes the requirement for a QCM who has at least two years of experience in highway construction, quality control, material testing, and (NICET) Level III certification. This will add significant cost to the contract. Can this requirement be waived for this project as it is a bike trail and parking area?
Yes
5 Section 637 requires the contractor to provide a Government field office within 15 miles of the project site. Being that this is a relatively simple and small project please confirm that a field office for the Government is required.
Yes

Detail E609-02 has two different kinds of wheelstops, one with drain and one without drain. Please clarify quantity of each.
