BIDDING SCHEDULE: CORRECTIONS IN RED TEXT IS ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL PROVISON.

Question 1:

Rather than a 4,000-psi shotcrete at 4", would the Owner consider a < 8,000 psi geopolymer at a structurally engineered thickness? To achieve an equivalent design to shotcrete, those thickness designs will be 1.5-2"; and will far exceed what shotcrete could ever become and provide a completely structurally independent, new culvert at a thickness of 4".

SCDOT Response:

Change: Yes, the proposed geopolymer system is acceptable as an alternative, provided it meets all project requirements and specifications.

Question 2:

Would the owner/engineer consider Quadex GeoKrete an approved alternative lining system for this project?

SCDOT Response:

Change: Yes, the proposed Quadex GeoKrete is acceptable as an alternative, provided it meets all project requirements and specifications.
