About this file
This document contains questions and answers from an advertisement for a federal-aid highway project located in Kingman County, Kansas. The project involves rehabilitating 2.0 miles of RS 607 (NE 50 St) from RS 1428 (NE 150 Ave) east to the Kingsman County Line (N 407th St W) to improve public access to Cheney State Park and Cheney Reservoir. The scope of work includes widening the roadway to provide 26' from edge of pavement to edge of pavement plus 4' gravel shoulders on each side for the length of the project, as well as a 2.5" asphalt concrete overlay of the existing roadway. Questions addressed taxation requirements, temporary traffic control options, the acceptability of a previously approved local asphalt mix design, qualifications for quality control personnel, and the acceptability of ASTM test methods in place of AASHTO standards.

Questions and Answers during Advertisement for KS FLAP KIN50(1) Cheney Reservoir Access
January 6, 2023
Questions Answers 1 Is this project tax exempt? Refer to clause 52.229-3 Federal, State, and Local Taxes on sheet C-12 of the IFB.
2 Will use of temporary traffic signals be allowed rather than use of flaggers?
Submit a traffic control plan in accordance with Section 104, 156, and 635 of the FP and SCR’s, MUTCD, and Sheet T9 of the plans for approval by the CO in coordination with the project partners. Note 4 on Sheet T9 states “CO to close only portion of roadway where work will be performed.
Construction zone may move each day.”
3 Our paving contractor is requesting using a previously approved KDOT asphalt mix design used in Kingman County, KS on K-42 Hwy. Would this be acceptable?
Per FP-14 403.02(a), A KDOT mix approved for use in the last 12 months may be used. Table 403-1 can be disregarded if it conflicts with state DOT standards.
4 Is the QC person is required to have a NICET III in highway materials? We don’t see a lot of NICET in this region. Are KDOT equivalents acceptable?
Per SCR section 153.02(a)(1)(b), an equivalent certification would be considered.
5 The testing charts from the spec book are calling for AASHTO standards primarily. GSI, as well as the other 2 big firms in Wichita use ASTM’s, or rather are certified by the AASHTO organization in ASTM test methods. Are ASTM test methods acceptable?
AASHTO standards are used on all CFL projects.
