    70Z03126RALAM2007 Questions and Answers.pdf
    The document contains questions and answers related to the 70Z03126RALAM2007 project, likely a federal RFP for a gravel parking area construction. Key specifications include 6"-8" of clean #6 or #57 stone (ASTM C33) for gravel thickness, placed in 4" lifts and compacted to 95% modified proctor. Non-woven geotextile fabric (Mirafi 160N or approved equal) is also specified. No Geotech report or soil borings are available, and the USCG will not entertain alternative installation methods to stay within a ROM, but rather expects proposals based on offeror's costs. The project requires the contractor to field-verify all conditions, and no additional testing beyond standard ASTM is specified. A PLS signed survey data is not required. The desired period of performance is 14 calendar days, with standard Net 30 payment terms. Quality control is the contractor's responsibility, including compaction and proper installation. Existing utilities must be protected, and the contractor is responsible for verifying their absence within the work site. No permitting requirements, such as a dust permit, are needed. Stripped topsoil can be stockpiled on-site for reuse, with excess material removed. On-site spoil can be reused as structural fill if it meets compaction after unsuitable soil areas are stripped. Geotextile fabric requires pinning to prevent movement, and parking lines are not to be painted on the gravel.
