Two additional questions have been received:
1) Could an 8 inch hot mix patch be used in lieu of the 12 inches of 6/10 road base for pothole repair?
A: Yes, an 8" hot mix patch would be an acceptable alternative.
2. Is there an area on site, to place spoils? ie; material removed for pothole patching and all roadside prep where asphalt has broken off or grass and dirt may need to be removed.
A: The spoils can be disposed of on a government road within one mile of the paving project.
