About this file

The document is an attachment to a state and local contract opportunity issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Forest District 07. The contract requires services to deliver, paver-place, and compact approximately 5,000 tons of limestone Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA) to Spruce Run Road in Montour County, Pennsylvania. The document outlines the technical specifications for the DSA, including sieve analysis, pH, LA Abrasion, Plasticity Index, and optimum moisture content requirements. The contractor or quarry must complete the appropriate acknowledgement form, either a DSA Contractor Acknowledgement or a DSA Quarry Letter of Intent, and submit it with their bid response.

The contract does not provide specific details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements and sources, or other salient commercial information. The document focuses solely on the technical specifications and acknowledgement requirements for the DSA product to be used in the Spruce Run Road project.

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. Lime kiln dust and cement kiln dust may be added to DSA to account for up to 50% of the fines passing the #200 sieve. 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 10-17%.

pH: 6 – 12.45 as measured by EPA 9045C LA Abrasion: < 40% 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.
