Questions and Answers

Question #1: The Single Filled Cotton Duck is sometimes sold by a #, #12 is a 11.5oz weight. Is the 11.5 oz ok or would a heavier 15 oz be better?

Answer: The weight of the canvas bags is a minimum of 12 oz. so the 15 oz. weight offered would meet the requirement.

Question #2: What are the bags used for? Trying to get an idea and I’m thinking they’re the bags that hang off the back of the IDOT truck I’ve seen in buckets, etc.

Answer: The canvas bags are used to transport samples of sand, gravel and crushed stone. These samples are transported in the back of pickup trucks, stacked on pallets and shipped to a central testing facility. During all of this there is numerous instances of pushing, pulling and additional stresses. For these reasons all minimum requirements must be met.

Question #3: Is the bid a rebid of an existing contract or a new contract? Is there any pricing history?

Answer: This is a rebid of an existing contract. Please contact DOT.FOIAOfficer@Illinois.gov for any additional pricing information.
