ACTON CIVIL DRAWINGS - Clarification between Civil Drawings & Geotechnical Report

The layout legend on the “L” drawings call for A/C paving for heavy traffic, The Civil Drawings C-5.5

Paving Detail 3 “Asphalt Concrete” over un-dimensioned class C aggregate base over 12” scarify

& compact sub base.. The geotechnical report Paragraph 6.0 Design Recommendations & paragraph 6.5 recommended asphalt pavement sections show 4” AC surface course, 10”

Aggregate Base course, 12” compacted sub grade for traffic areas.

Clarification : The solicitation provision which incorporates the geotech report into the plans by reference states that the more restricitve spec should be followed. But in this case, the 2 different specs are equivalent, as explained on page 2 of the addendum to the geotechnical report. We are using the typical section shown on 1/C5.5 combined with 2/C5.5 which shows 3" of asphalt concrete over 14" of aggregate base over 12" of compacted sub grade.

GEOTECHNICAL REPORT - Inclusion of boring logs referenced in Geotechnical Report .
