10/6/17

X Are there any existing overlays (epoxy, asphalt or otherwise) on the bridge decks? SCR 575.04 prohibits the use of scarifiers, scabblers or milling machines without approval of the CO.

The presence of an existing overlay may necessitate the use of such methods as those prohibited.

The solicitation is silent about the existing bridge deck. See FAR Clause 52.236‐3 Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work (APR 1984).

Check General or Technical

X SCR 575.04 (c) calls for the deck to be assessed for deterioration and all areas repaired. Would the government be willing to state a quantity of repair the contractor should allow for? Some of the bridge contractors are leery to bid on this project due to the fact that they could be held liable for a large amount of repair should deterioration be uncovered on these bridges being paid Lump Sum. The government could end up paying much more than needed if the contractor is to bear all risk associated with the soundness of the bridge deck.

No. Bid accordingly. 10/10/2017

X Sheet J.1 calls out 4” x 4” x W6 x W6 wire mesh in the minor concrete paving. Note 1 On the same drawing calls out Epoxy coated materials for all tie bars, dowels, and other steel used in the construction of the Concrete Pavement.

Does this include the wire mesh?

Yes. Sheet J.1 requires 4” x 4” ‐ W6 x W6 welded wire mesh OR No. 4 bars for slab reinforcement. Use epoxy coated material for all steel used in the construction of concrete pavement. See Subsection 709.01.

10/11/2017

X Has the government done any research on the local rock available to see if it is the consistency and color that it desires? If not does the government have any specifications on the rock to be used in the exposed aggregate concrete mix?

The color of the aggregate is not specified.

See Subsection 703.01

10/11/2017

X Section 601 in the special provisions states that a water attachment is to be used on a special exposed aggregate broom. We have done exposed aggregate extensively and have never heard of this method or been able to find the broom you describe. Do you have a make and model of the broom you are talking about?

This will be addressed in a forthcoming Amendment.
