Questions and Answers during Advertisement for NM SJU 10(1) Cottonwood Campground – 6982AF21B000023
November 4, 2021
Questions Answers 1 The project plans call for five each, AASHTO Type 45 Precast
Girders 86 feet long each, Total 430 feet, as components in the Cottonwood Campground Bridge. During our solicitation process, we have discovered that these AASHTO Girders are not available by Vendors in New Mexico. Thus, using Vendors from outside of New Mexico will cause a significant cost increase mostly due to the hauling cost.
Will the FHWA consider alternate but equal girder sections, such as a bulbed tree?
Bid the Project as stated in the Solicitation and Plans
2 The project plans call for FHWA Class 3 and Class 4 rock rip rap on the Arroyo slopes at the bridge abutments and upstream from the bridge. During our solicitation process, we have discovered that the sizes and physical requirements of Class 3 & 4 rock rip rap are not locally available. Thus, using Vendors whose quarry is a great distance from the jobsite will cause a significant cost increase mostly due to the hauling cost.
Will the FHWA consider alternate slope protection methods such as articulated blocks, gabion baskets, or broken concrete rip rap?
Bid the Project as stated in the Solicitation and Plans
3 Can the bridge deck be formed using stay-in-place metal deck forms between the AASHTO girders?
We do not allow Stay-in-Place forms.
