CA FTBR FOLSOM SO TRAIL(1)

September 7, 2017

Questions Answers

1 Several references are made to “Suspend/Resume Micro

Surfacing, Type 3” on the plan sheets (see PLAN / FOLSOM

SOUTH TRAIL / Sheet 1 of 5 for example). Is there any Type 3

Micro Surfacing?

There is no Type 3 Micro Surfacing. It should say Type 2 on the “C” sheets.

2 Per Special 619-A, sandblasting of the Steel Pipe Gates is required prior to repainting. Would dual action orbital sanding be allowed in lieu of sandblasting?

Alternative methods to remove paint, rust, and foreign material will be considered based on demonstrated performance as determined by the CO.

3 Is it possible to get access to the path via vehicle prior to bid? In particular, is it possible to get vehicle access on 9/11/17? Also, our fabricator would like to see a gate that is unlocked and swung open.

FHWA does not have the authority to provide access to the path. Due to safety issues, the path is closed to public vehicular traffic. If allowed at all, permission to access the path would have to be obtained through the Folsom

BOR Field Office.

Opening of a gate(s) would also have to be coordinated with the Folsom

BOR Field Office

4 We understand that only one section of Trail can be closed at a time. Does this mean only one section can be closed per day?

Does work need to be completed one section at a time?

After one section is re-opened, a different section can be closed on the same day. Multiple sections cannot be closed concurrently. Work does not have to be completed in one section prior to reopening.

5 Can you provide more detail on the Precast Concrete Barrier? Please provide standard Caltrans Type K railing, or equal as approved by the CO, with dimensions same as Caltrans Standard Plan T3A. See Link below.
