The minimum width of the existing roadway is 14-feet.

The Government desires white edge line striping regardless of road width. Roadway width of 18 feet or greater should have a yellow dashed centerline and double solid yellow line on curves.

The Govt has determined that the roadway widths are: 14-ft, 18-ft, 22-ft, and 27-ft.

The 2-foot shoulder is to be added to each side of the current road width.

5. The road does not really have an existing crown, what will be the required specifications that will need to meet and whether the contractors can reuse the milling material to build up the crown.

Reuse existing millings to build up the crown: Millings shall not be used to build up the crown. In accordance with SOW para. 1.3.9 Reworking Base - The Contractor shall rework the existing base by bringing in new base material as required to meet proposed grade and 2% grade cross slope and rolling it and moisturizing it until it achieves compaction requirements and is in accordance with City of San Antonio Standard Specifications: Item 200 Flexible Base, Item 216 Proof Rolling, Item 220 Blading, Item 230 Base and Pavement Replacement.

No. Any culverts should be left alone by Contractor.

The concrete pads that cross the road periodically: Contractor shall pave up to the edge of the concrete. Tack Coat on the concrete is required. Contractor shall establish a smooth transition from the asphalt to the concrete.

16. Are you limited to how much road you can tear up?

No.

17. Are you required to start in a certain place?

No. I would recommend that Contractor mill and overlay the pavement at Combat Village up to County Rd first, so it can be used. This would help with detour because the people using the site would detour up Lewis Valley Rd to County Rd to get to that site.

18. Can milling be used or does it have to be taken off site?

Milling shall be taken off site.
