The staging area shall be 7-inch P.C.C. pavement with reinforcement at the joints with a 6-inch curb and gutter at 30-inch width placed on the east end of the staging area, the subbase of the new pavement shall be a compacted graded existing granular base currently in place. The project includes the adjustment of the existing storm sewer intake boxes current on the site. The project shall be constructed using the Iowa State Urban Design and Specifications Program (SUDAS) 2024. The technical criteria contained and cited in this Scope of Work (SOW) and all accompanying appendices shall establish the minimum construction standards for this project. The Contractor shall make the Government aware in writing of any conflicts within these minimum standards by informing the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).
