B. The Contractor’s dump trucks must be compatible with the Park’s paving machine.

ii. The paving machine’s hopper is 8’ 6” wide, 32” high off the ground and has a depth of 55”.

iii. The hopper capacity is 6 tons.

iv. Due to the variability of dump truck box dimensions, the Contractor must assure that all trucks used in conjunction with this requirement are compatible with this type of paver.

H. The Contractor shall provide all equipment, operating supplies, operators, supervision, and support functions necessary to perform the required work on a per hour basis.

I. The hauling must be readily available for pick-up during the period of performance, see above; approximate quantities will range between 6 yards & 300 yards per scheduled hauling. Note: The hauled quantity variation is due in part to uncertainty in weather conditions and availability of equipment (e.g., a change in weather conditions may only allow work for ½ day and/or equipment failures/availability may result in fewer yards of material being transported in a day).

J. The Government will provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice prior to pick-up. Should the Government give less than 24 hours’ notice, the Vendor may elect to either load the trucks as requested or to schedule an alternate day. Pick-up days will be scheduled when conditions are favorable, and are weather, equipment, and asphalt plant dependent.

The Government will have on an on-site representative in the field while work is being performed to document work completed. The on-site representative’s daily diaries and the supplier’s shift tickets are the forms of documentation that will be used in tracking the hours worked. The on-site representative/CO will compare load tickets provided by the supplier and diaries to confirm the accuracy of the invoices provided by contractor before payment is made.
