    This document, "127EAX26R0001 Coconino NF FSR 535/536 Road Reconditioning Q&A #2," clarifies several aspects of a road reconditioning project for the Coconino National Forest. Key points address material sourcing and processing, confirming that a rock crusher is not needed for road aggregate from the Forest Service pit and that pit run material is unavailable. Site maps are referenced as being in the solicitation plans. Culvert replacement details specify sizes (18", 24", 30") and emphasize field verification of lengths, with the contractor responsible for purchasing them. The Forest Service will not require third-party compaction testing; compliance will be based on specified methods and government inspection. Water for aggregate processing is not required, but if needed, Flagstaff is the closest source. Surface course aggregate is unsuitable for culvert bedding or backfill. Finally, turnarounds are permitted in pre-disturbed areas, with the contractor responsible for repairing any damage.
