This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for providing Graded Crushed Aggregate Base Course (GCA), specifically crushed concrete, for the Avon Park Air Force Range (AVPAFR). The project requires 16,410 tons of GCA, with an option for 1,000 additional tons, for Taxiway Hotel and the C-17 Assault strip. The GCA must conform to UFGS 32.11.23, UFC 3-206-02, and AVPAFR Design Standards, allowing for Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) free of contaminants. Offerors must submit material specifications with certified test results for various ASTM standards (e.g., L.A Abrasion, Gradation Analysis, Compaction) and a logistics plan ensuring delivery by July 10, 2026. Deliveries will commence within 15 days ARO and must include physical delivery/weight tickets. Quality control testing, including gradation, LA abrasion, and Atterberg limits, is mandatory every 2,500 tons. The SOW specifies strict gradation limits, placement compliance, and field tolerances for grade, smoothness, thickness, and compaction. Pricing is on a per-unit (per ton) basis, and final payment is contingent upon Government acceptance of all materials and satisfactory work completion. Contractors must adhere to production minimums, submit a safety plan, and ensure drivers are properly licensed and identified.

The GCA Material Specification outlines detailed requirements for granular crushed aggregate (GCA) used in government projects, aligning with the Uniform Guide Specifications (UFGS) 32.11.23. It specifies that GCA must consist of clean, sound, durable particles, free from silt and clay. Recycled crushed concrete (RCA) is permitted if it meets gradation standards and is free of contaminants. The document sets limits for liquid limit (25) and plasticity index (5) for material passing a No. 40 sieve, and a maximum 40% loss when tested with ASTM C131/C131. Gradation by percentage passing various sieves is precisely defined, ranging from 100% for 1-inch sieves to 0-8% for No. 200 sieves. Compliance tolerances for grade, smoothness, thickness, and compaction (minimum 100%) are also stipulated, with non-compliant materials requiring removal and replacement. This specification ensures the quality and consistency of materials for federal, state, and local government construction projects.

The document addresses questions regarding the Base Course for the AVON PARK FA481426Q0010 project, likely an RFP or grant.
