Q: What is the purpose of the rip rap on the top of the temporary diversion bank?

A: Plan shows sand bag to secure plastic liner material; large rock will also be acceptable as a method of ensuring the plastic does not wash away.

Q: Is this a Federal Highway Project?

A: Federal Highway provided the design.

Q: Will native material be allowed for fill?

A: Fill will be as noted in plans and specifications; the fill specifically asked about in this instance was noted as Type 7 in the plans.

Q: Will existing concrete slab be allowable for use as fill?

A: Broken concrete can be incorporated in the project as material provided it meets the specification requirements for the type of material indicated in the plans. All protruding reinforcing steel shall be cut flush with the rock surface prior to placement. Payment for broken concrete utilized as construction material will be considered paid for and completely covered under Items 202-99.01 and 206-99.01.

Q: When will the contract be awarded?

A: As soon as possible after bid opening.

Q: How will rip rap be paid for?

A: In accordance with the specification section. Rip rap is shown in the plans as a CY quantity. Measurement will be by use of a conversion factor of 1.5 tons/CY based on load tickets supplied from a certified scale. Also see answer on use of broken concrete.
