| 2 | 6th street section between N. Hap Arnold and fence calls for 3" of gravel on top of FDR layer. 3" of gravel is redundant and raises the roadway high above shoulder.

| 5 | Can you give us some insight on the 12” full depth reclamation for the base bid? It looks like 6.5” out of the 12” is mix and base stone, does this mean only 5.5” of the remaining section is cement stabilized or is the section 12” cement stabilized, 3” stone, 3.5” asphalt? | Contractor shall perform 12" full depth reclamation from the surface of the existing roadway. Once full depth reclamation has been completed a 2" binder course will be added and then a final 1 1/2" Grading E surface shall be added. Please see attached image. |
