| Reference Specification Section 105.04 states, “No mixing or processing of materials is allowed within the Park.” |
Please clarify if excavated material from the project can be mixed or processed onsite at the staging areas or within the work area right of way? This material will then be used for the required fill material on the project. If not this material will need to be hauled off site, processed, and hauled back to the project which would add significant cost to the project.
Mixing or processing of materials will be allowed in approved staging areas and withing the construction limits of the project. An amendment will be issued clarifying the requirements.

| SCR 401 requires Type III B and IV smoothness with a warranty and it is understood that asphalt smoothness has a large bearing on durability. The standard specifications are unclear if corrective profile grinding is allowed to achieve smoothness or if corrective measures will be allowed at the discretion of the CO when work is performed. Will corrective profile grinding be allowed to achieve smoothness? |
| No, defective area corrections (grinding) will not be allowed on the final pavement surface. An amendment will be issues revising 401.16(d) to clarify the requirements. |
