ROAD_PLATE_Specs.pdf

This specification document outlines temporary construction road plate requirements for the State of Florida, detailing load-bearing capacity and dimensional specifications for steel plates used in construction applications. The specification table provides weight and maximum allowable span information for nine plate sizes ranging from 4'x8' to 8'x20', with three thickness options: 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-1/2 inch. The plates are rated according to HS-20-44 loading standards, with weights varying from 1,307 pounds for the smallest 4'x8' plate at 1 inch thickness to 9,801 pounds for the largest 8'x20' plate at 1-1/2 inch thickness. The related procurement opportunity (A36 - Steel Road Plate SMQ) specifies a requirement for two A36 steel road plates measuring 96 inches by 120 inches by 1 inch thick, each equipped with an actek center nut, lifting tool, and four lifting holes positioned on both long and short ends and centered for operational safety and handling.

The procurement does not identify specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, or funding sources within the available documentation. No response deadlines, due dates, site visit requirements, bidders' conferences, or contract award dates are specified in the provided materials. The specification emphasizes structural performance standards and load-bearing capacity to ensure plates meet construction safety requirements during temporary road applications at project sites.
