3 Work scope for the base bid requires demolition/ reconstruction of the roadway while maintaining public access per SCR 156.05.
There does not appear to be any minimum requirement for the roadway surface during reconstruction as it relates to public access (please confirm). However, SCR 108.01 (f) requires a minimum of 1.5” of asphalt be placed prior to winter shutdown.
a. In the event road reconstruction is incomplete and not ready for asphalt, why would temporary asphalt be placed/ removed when the road is closed and under snow for the winter?
b. Is there another acceptable method of stabilization which is not so costly to FHWA?
a. Refer to SCR 156.05(g); The minimum 1.5” of asphalt will be required as stated in SCR 108.01(f).
b. No, but they could submit a VE proposal may be considered during construction.
4 Is construction water available on-site? FHWA has not secured on-site water.
5 For the purpose of managing schedule impacts and liquidated damages, how will the presence of subsurface water and saturated soils be addressed. For example, Schedule A requires approx.
31,868 CY of embankment. In the event that all of the available material is saturated and must be processed to remove moisture for an unforeseeable period of time, what schedule consideration will be given?
No schedule consideration will be given.
