SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Request For Information & Government Responses

Question: Would UHP be considered, over sandblasting and chipping, for all concrete surface preparation?

Response: Contractors shall use hand tools to sound the concrete to determine sound from unsound concrete. Unsound concrete shall be removed via chipping only. Contractors can then be allowed to use Ultra‐High Pressure (UHP) water jetting methods to prepare concrete surfaces, but sandblasting must still be used to prepare rebar surfaces.

Question: For Vertical Concrete repair on abutments: Will the shotcrete process be an acceptable means of repair while providing the specified class of finish?

Response: While shotcrete will be an acceptable means of repair to vertical concrete repair on abutments, there still must be a troweled finish. As per Spec Section 03 37 13 SHOTCRETE, Paragraph

3.5.1 Ceiling repair can have a Natural Gun Finish.

Question: Sheet S‐301: Can the concrete repair and new curb be completed simultaneously?

Response: Yes, the concrete repair and new curb can be completed simultaneously.
