This amendment is in response to additional questions posted. To answer the question on bonds in this SATOC. In regards to block 12a, Performance and payment bonds will be required on a task order basis.

Final question,
Section 31 32 23 2.5.1 Armor Stone Gradations. The table shows a W50 column in feet. What does the W50 mean?
The W50 was mislabeled - it should be D50, or a 4.4' stone and is instructing that the median stone size must be 4.4' or greater. So - stones between 6.3 and 6.97 tons must not make up more that 50% of the total stones used for the project. This is to ensure that we do not end up with an overall stone gradation skewed to the smaller end of the specified gradation.

Bid Closing is 24 May 2019 at 0300pm EST.
