About this file

This document is an Attachment A form from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Bureau of Administrative Services for a Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA) solicitation. The solicitation, numbered 6100063315 FD19, is for Delaware Laurel Run Road and involves the procurement of approximately 960 tons of DSA, with the potential for quantity adjustments based on departmental needs. Contractors are required to submit either a Contractor Acknowledgement of DSA Product form (if creating the aggregate) or a Quarry Letter of Intent form (if sourcing from a separate quarry), with strict specifications for submission.

The DSA specifications include detailed technical requirements such as sieve size percentages, pH levels, Los Angeles Abrasion loss limits, plasticity index, and moisture content parameters. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to provide aggregate that meets precise gradation standards, with specific rules about rock material composition and fine particle content. The document emphasizes compliance requirements, noting that failure to meet submission guidelines could result in bid disqualification. The solicitation appears to be part of a road maintenance or construction project, with technical specifications designed to ensure high-quality aggregate material for road surface applications.

Signed Acknowledgement of DCNR DSA Specifications

1. The Contractor must choose the appropriate acknowledgement letter:

a.DSA Contractor Acknowledgement of DSA Specifications (A.1)
This form is used when the Contractor will be creating and
supplying the DSA.
b.DSA Quarry Letter of Intent (A.2)
This form is used when the DSA will be created and supplied
by a quarry not owned by the Contractor.
2.The appropriate form must be printed, completed in its entirety, signed,
and dated.
a.Both A.1 and A.2 must be signed only by approved representatives
of the Contractor and Quarry respectively.

b. The authorized representative must include their title with their signature.

c.Representatives must be knowledgeable of DSA and be prepared
to answer all questions on the product.
3.The Contractor must then include the appropriate fully executed form
with their bid response (either A.1 or A.2.).

The fines passing the #200 sieve must be rock material. No clay or silt soil may be added. Limestone material passing the #200 sieve may be used to make up a deficit in the distribution of sandstone aggregate rock, and vice versa. All added material passing the #200 sieve must be derived from rock material that conforms to program specifications. The amount of particles passing the #200 sieve will be determined using the washing procedures specified in PTM No. 100.

*If the Plasticity Index for the Material is 2 or below, then the #200 sieve is permitted to be 11-17%.

pH: 6 – 12.45 as measured by EPA 9045C LA Abrasion: < 45% loss based on Los Angeles Abrasion test, AASHTO T-96 [ASTM C 131] Plasticity Index: ≤ 4 based on ASTM D4318 – Standard Test Method for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils.

Optimum Moisture: Material will be delivered and placed at optimum moisture content, or up to 2% below that value, as determined for that particular source. The optimum percentage moisture will be determined using Proctor Test ASTM D698, procedure C, Standard.
