About this file
This is an attachment document from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement & Supply, establishing Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA) specifications and acknowledgement requirements for Solicitation #6100065105 (FD09 - Moshannon Caledonia Pike). The project requires approximately 5,400 tons of limestone DSA to be delivered, paver-placed, and compacted on Caledonia Pike in Clearfield County at Moshannon State Forest. Bidders must submit a signed acknowledgement confirming their ability to create and supply certified DSA meeting specified standards. Contractors must choose between Form A.1 (Contractor Acknowledgement) if they will create and supply the DSA themselves, or Form A.2 (Quarry Letter of Intent) if the DSA will be supplied by a quarry not owned by the contractor. The appropriate form must be completed, signed by an authorized and knowledgeable representative, and included with the bid response. Submission of both forms or failure to include the appropriate acknowledgement will result in a non-responsive determination and contractor disqualification.
The DSA specifications include strict sieve gradation requirements, with passive sieve percentages ranging from 100% at 1 inch to 11-15% at the #200 sieve, with flexibility to 11-17% if the Plasticity Index is 2 or below. Material requirements mandate that fines passing the #200 sieve be rock-derived with no clay or silt soil additions; limestone and sandstone materials may be interchanged to meet distribution deficits. Additional technical specifications include pH levels of 6-12.45 (EPA 9045C), LA Abrasion loss less than 45% (AASHTO T-96/ASTM C131), Plasticity Index of 4 or less (ASTM D4318), and optimum moisture content delivery at ±1% as determined by Proctor Test ASTM D698 procedure C. The tonnage estimate of 5,400 tons may increase or decrease based on departmental needs.

ATTACHMENT A
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.
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.).
DO NOT attach both acknowledgements.
4. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in a non-responsive determination and subsequent disqualification for the Contractor.

CONTRACTOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DSA PRODUCT
(FORM MUST BE COMPLETED BY BIDDING CONTRACTOR)
Solicitation # 6100065105 FD09 - Moshannon Caledonia Pike Approximate Tonnage – 5,400 (Tonnage is estimated and can increase or decrease based on the needs of the Department.)
By signing this acknowledgement I, _______________________________________ (Print Name), an authorized representative of ____________________________________________ (Name of Contractor), confirms that ___________________________________________ (Name of Contractor) has the ability to competently create and supply certified Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA) for the Solicitation listed above that meets the following specifications.
Passive Sieve
Low Percentage
High Percentage
1 ½ inch 100% -- ¾ inch 65% 97%
#4 30% 65% #16 15% 32%
#200* 11% 15%
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 +/- 1% of that value, as determined for that particular source. The optimum percentage moisture will be determined using Proctor Test ASTM D698, procedure C, Standard.
