TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS / STATEMENT OF WORK

LIMEROCK

1.1 SCOPE.

1.1 The purpose of this specification is to establish minimum requirements for the supply and delivery of Limerock for Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU), to be used in various construction and maintenance projects.

1.2 The provisions contained in this section are intended to supplement or modify the

Supplemental Conditions and General Conditions. In case of any conflict, the intent of the

Technical specifications shall govern.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF WORK.

2.1 The Contractor shall furnish and delivery Limerock meeting the requirements of Florida

Department of Transportation (FDOT) Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge

Construction, Section 911 – Limerock Base Material (latest edition). Material shall meet all gradation, quality , and bearing value requirements as specified herein.

2.2 Quantities shown in this solicitation are esimates only and are provide for bid evaluation purposes. GRU does not guarantee minimum or maximum quantity of purchase. The estimated annual quantity requested is 9,000 tons.

3.0 BILLING.

3.1 Limerock shall be billed on a per-ton (dry weight) basis, allowing for a maximum moisture content of 15% by weight.

3.2 A deduction will be made for material delivered with moisture content in excess of 15% for that portion which exceeds 15%. A representative sample will be taken at the GRU’s option and the measured moisture content will be used to establish the actual tonnage delivered and will be used for all deliveries that day on which the sample is taken.

3.3 The calculation to be used to determine moisture content shall be based on the delivered

Limerock’s moisture content percentage exceeding the 15% allowable moisture content.

[For example, if the moisture content of Limerock delivered is tested and results indicate that the moisture content is 25%, the product is essentially 75% product instead of the required 85% product, dividing the actual percentage of product by the required product yields the percentage of the deduction. (Ex: 75% divided by 85% = .88) This rate would then be multiplied by the per ton cost to determine the deduction.]
