The Government will be placing the SCC, by a trailer mounted concrete pump or by concrete buckets, in formwork that is approximately 24 feet deep. If a trailer mounted concrete pump is utilized, the concrete will be pumped approximately 75 feet horizontally and 10 feet vertically down.

It is anticipated that once the SCC is delivered to the site it will be “dumped” into two (2) concrete buckets, either 1-2 cubic yard capacities, which will be hoisted and positioned to the location of a trailer mounted concrete pump or directly to the concrete placement area. This process will be repeated until the concrete placement for that day is completed.

It is anticipated that a concrete truck could be at the site approximately one (1) hour.

The batch plant shall be within 50 minutes travel time from the delivery site.

Concrete deliveries will be required between Friday, 23 March 2018 and Tuesday, 29 May 2018. The total amount of SCC Concrete required to be delivered will be between 75 and 95 cubic yards. Each individual delivery load will be a Minimum of 2 cubic yards and Maximum of 10 cubic yards. For each placement date, estimate 1 - 2 individual concrete deliveries. Actual quantities required will be determined by project personnel and coordinated with the contractor by the Government’s Project Engineer. For quoting purposes the batches are estimated to vary between 8 and 15 cubic yards (CY).

It should be noted that the actually delivery dates could vary as much as plus/minus 7 business days from the dates provided herein. The Government’s Project Engineer will keep the concrete supply company’s POC informed as the actual delivery dates as they approach.
