About this file

This document is an Attachment A for the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) solicitation #6100063490 for 4" MINUS aggregate at the Sproul Boggs Ridge Road project site. The solicitation involves procuring approximately 800 tons of aggregate, with the tonnage subject to potential increase or decrease based on departmental needs. The document outlines two potential acknowledgement forms: A.1 for contractors creating and supplying the aggregate, and A.2 for quarries supplying the aggregate to a contractor. Both forms require detailed specifications for the 4" MINUS aggregate, including precise sieve size percentages, sourcing from natural stone formations, and specific material performance standards.

The aggregate specifications are stringent, requiring the material to meet precise technical requirements including pH levels between 6-12.45, Los Angeles Abrasion loss of less than 40%, a Plasticity Index of ≤4, and optimal moisture content between 4-6%. The documentation mandates that all aggregate components must be derived from crushed rock material meeting abrasion resistance, pH, and contamination standards. Contractors or quarries must complete and sign the appropriate form, with failure to comply potentially resulting in a non-responsive bid determination and disqualification. The forms are dated 04/12/2024 and are part of the DCNR Bureau of Administrative Services procurement process.
