SECTION – RESPONSES TO REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION

1. Under asphalt rejuvenator testing it states that the testing shall be the responsibility of the contractor or shall be by the government. Can you clarify which one will be responsible for the testing? Sampling and Testing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Test results shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer. Specification Section 32 01 22 BITUMINOUS REJUVENATION, Paragraph 3.04B, last sentence should state: Sampling and testing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Test results shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer.

2. Where can the UFC guidelines be found for download?

http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_cat.php?o=29&c=4

3. Will the use of volumetric concrete trucks be permitted under this contract? Concrete provided under this contract shall meet all requirements of the Specifications of this contract.

Volumetric Trucks that can meet the requirements of the Specifications of this contract shall be an acceptable method of providing concrete, but shall not limit the method of supplying concrete. Volumetric Trucks used shall conform to ASTM C 685 Standard Specification for Concrete Made by Volumetric Batching and Continuous Mixing and ACI 304.6R Guide for Use of Volumetric-Measuring and Continuous-Mixing Concrete Equipment. When the requirements of the Specifications for this contract differ from ASTM C 685 or ACI 304.6R the Specifications of this Contract shall govern. The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer Manufacturer’s Catalog Cuts/Data for the Volumetric Concrete Trucks.

The Contractor shall submitted to the Contracting Officer Certifications of Compliance for Calibration and Concrete Uniformity per ASTM C 685 at the beginning of each Delivery Order involving the use of Volumetric Trucks and at intervals no greater than 6 months during an active delivery order using Volumetric Concrete Trucks for each truck to be used (Source: ASTM C 685 Paragraph 14.12 and Annex A1 Concrete Uniformity Requirements.

4. In attachment 1 titled Bid Schedule on Fed Biz the far right column titled Amount has a $0.00 entered in the box can this be removed so that the potential bidder will be able to enter the dollar amounts? YES

5. On the Bid Schedule some of the spaces where the Unit Prices and Dollar Amount items go is very narrow and small could these be adjusted to accommodate the figures to be placed in them? YES

6. HMAC 32 12 10 Mix Design 2.05 talks about Lime as mineral filler and also that anti-strip agents can’t be added at the refinery. The local suppliers do not add Lime to their asphalt.

The designs have changed they don’t use Lime as a mineral filler which was for anti-stripping. The oil company adds the anti-stripping at the refinery where the oil is tested and certified by their lab. Specification Section 32 12 15 Paragraph 2.05 ADDITVES shall be removed from the Specification as it is no longer in the current UFGS 32 12 15 and was carried over from the previous Airfield IDIQ Contract.

7. If there are delivery orders where a small quantity of HMAC asphalt is required on the project could the Arkansas Dot Mix design be used? Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) for Airfields shall meet the requirements of Specification 32 12 15 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) for Airfields.

Prices provided on the Bid Schedule for Hot Mix Asphalt shall meet the requirements of Specification 32 12 15 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) for Airfields.
