Castles Checkerboard Road Reconditioning Questions and Answers - Set 1

Date Submitted Question Response 1 6/3/2021

Will the Forest Service be staking all the M.P.s for the work?

Yes

2 6/3/2021 Is testing required? If so can you clarify which of the requirements on the Sampling, Testing and Acceptance Pay Item #s 30207 – Aggregate Surface Course, Compaction MTD 3 and 30315

– Roadway Reconditioning, Compaction MTD 4 fall under?

No testing required on compaction, all compaction will be evaluated onsite with the Purchaser and FS inspector. Material will need to be moist to gain optimal compaction, so most likely a water truck will need to be onsite.

3 6/3/2021

Please clarify what is required for Pay Item #20302B – Removal of Metal Waterbar, Disposal MTD such as backfilling and disposal requirements and so on.

The metal waterbars are small opentops.

Disposal method is removal from the site.

Drain dips will be put in place of the open tops (metal waterbars), so no backfill is necessary.

4 6/3/2021 Please clarify Pay Item #61903 – Cattle Guard, Repair:

Repair includes reattaching the wings to the existing posts. All repairs are minor in nature

5 6/3/2021

Pay Item #s 30207 – Aggregate Surface Course, Compaction MTD 3; 30315 – Roadway Reconditioning, Compaction MTD 4 and 60201 18” Pipe Culvert, Corrugated Stee, Gage 16, Compaction MTD 6. for the compaction methods I am only seeing Compaction Methods 1- 6 in section 209 – Structure Excavation and Backfill. Is MTD 3, 4 and 6 referring to Compaction Methods 3, 4 and 6?

Compaction methods for the culverts will be in 209, compaction methods for reconditioning will be the methods in 204.11.

6 6/3/2021

Please clarify Page 3 of the Plans, General Notes 2 and 3 have Items 204, 303 and 202. The only Item Numbers that sort of match are 20425 and 30315.

The first 3 numbers (i.e. 204) refer to the specification (204 = Excavation and Embankment) and the last 2 numbers are more specific to the actual pay item and how it is measured

7 6/3/2021

Page 5 of the Plans has the End M.P at

6.34 intersecting with Road 8898.

However, on page 2 where the red line, indicating the work area, end at J8896 and J8896A. Please clarify

The road numbering in our GIS database and the road signs out in the field sometimes do not match. The end of this road will be staked at

6.34 miles.

Amendment 001

8 6/3/2021

Page 6 of the Plans shows rip rap detail for the culvert, but I am not seeing which class of rip rap is required. Can the excavated material be used as backfill?

No riprap is required. The standard typical shows it with riprap but we do not have any pay items requiring riprap..

9 6/3/2021

Page 8 of the Plans has a graph with different Types providing different lengths. The Pay Item Description calls out Type 1, but not the Grade %. On Notes #1 says “cross slope of the low point drain line shall be 5%”. I am assuming that the Grad % on the graph we are supposed to use for lengths is the 0-5 based on this note.

Grade percent in the table refers to the grade of the road.

10 6/3/2021

Page 6 of the Plans has a skew diagram. Is this referring to the angle the culvert is supposed to be to the road? Correct
