This is an open-ended requirements contract with estimated annual aggregate demand of approximately 38,200 tons across all WMAs, with individual locations ranging from 100 to 8,000 tons annually; actual requirements may exceed or fall below estimates. Six material types are specified: Limestone #610, Limestone #57, Limestone 1.5 x 3 Inch #1, Pit Run, Dirt Fill (60/40 Clay/Sand/Dirt with Plasticity of 19), and Washed Gravel 1.5 to 2.5 #2.
