About this file

This document is a Questions and Answers document for the CA FLAP MOD 258(1) Blue Lake Road project dated September 24, 2025. The first question addresses bid schedule details for two pay items: Fill with Roadway Aggregate (2,750 tons) and Furnish and Placing Topsoil (6.7 acres). The agency clarified that turf establishment and topsoil materials are outside the shoulder up material area, and turf and topsoil are not required over the shoulder up material. The document specifies relevant sections related to aggregate, topsoil, seed, and water materials.

The second question involves NPA Specialty Equipment, a spider excavator company specializing in rockfall, landslide, and difficult terrain, inquiring about bidding only on the rockfall and slope stabilization portion of the project. The response directs the vendor to the interested vendor's tab on SAM.gov, emphasizing that vendors must be signed in and have their entity tied to their registration to view the list. The document provides a federal service desk contact number (1-866-606-7828) for further assistance.

Questions and Answers during Advertisement for CA FLAP MOD 258(1) Blue Lake Road

September 24, 2025

Questions Answers 1 Bid Schedule, A7-A8, Schedule A, Schedule Type: Base show:

Pay Item #30202-2000 (Fill with Roadway Aggregate, method 2 at 2,750 tons) as well as Pay Item #62402-0300 (Furnish and Placing Topsoil, 4-inch depth at 6.7 acres).

Was this pay item inadvertently doubled-up on the 4-foot shoulder areas (both sides of the road), or is it FHWA's intention to shoulder-fill both materials? To help with our question, we're specifically looking at Typical Section, sheet no. A7, Detail A, B.

If both are required, please clarify the following material(s) needed:

Is this FP-14 Section 313 - Aggregate-Topsoil Course; 313.01- 313.02?

a. Aggregate for aggregate-topsoil course 703.13

b. Seed 713.04

c. Topsoil 713.01

d. Water 725.01 ( c )

Is this FP-14 Section 713 - Roadside Improvement Material Topsoil; 713.01?

Is this FP-14 Section 703 - Aggregate; 703-2?

The limits of turf establishment and topsoil are outside of the shoulder up material (roadway aggregate, method 2). Turf and topsoil are not required over the shoulder up material (roadway aggregate, method 2).

2 We at NPA specialty equipment are a spider excavator company specializing in rockfall , landslide , and difficult terrain.

We would like to bid only on the rockfall and slope stabilization part of the project.

There is an interested vendor’s tab on SAM.gov. You have to be signed in and have tied your entity to your registration when you signed up. If both of those things don’t happen the interested vendors list tab won’t be visible.

We don’t maintain a separate plan holders list.

You can call the federal service desk if you need further assistance. The number is 1‐866‐606‐7828
