Subject: BM-25.0D Spot Paving Type: Proposal
Question Date: 3/2/2020 8:25:00 AM
In reference to the BM-25.0D Spot Paving 8" Depth, could you provide the number of locations (spots) included in the quantity shown (2513.28 Tons) and whether of not they are all in the right lane?  
Answer   Date: 3/3/2020 2:44:20 PM
The locations of the full lane width spot paving were not recorded. The quantity was estimated based on our observations and the cores we extracted from the section. The Engineer and/or the Inspector at the time of construction will mark the appropriate locations. The full lane width spot paving will all be in the right lane.  
 
Subject: Guardrail Post Removal Type: Plan
Question Date: 2/12/2020 4:38:56 PM
Practically all the guardrail posts to be removed on this project are placed in an existing asphalt paved shoulder. The removal of the guardrail posts will destroy the existing paved shoulder that will remain in place. Should the Department consider utilizing Standard 201.08, MC-4 (Asphalt Paving Under Guardrail) for this circumstance? Milling the existing guardrail paved shoulder, placing aggregate material and surfacing with 2” of asphalt from the face of the guardrail to 24” behind the face of guardrail would mitigate the enormous mess that will result from the guardrail post removal. In addition, with the 2” allowable depth of asphalt there would be no need to utilize the pay item for guardrail post leave-outs.  
Answer   Date: 2/17/2020 9:14:23 AM
Milling the existing asphalt under the guardrail runs and paving was not considered. This is because the historical coring of the existing asphalt under the guardrail runs shows that the asphalt thickness is less than 2”. Therefore, the removal and installation of the posts should not significantly bust the existing asphalt.  
 
Question Date: 3/3/2020 10:46:29 AM
Please consider the following with respect to the guardrail post removal: 1. Driven guardrail posts in rocky soil conditions tend to bend, twist or curl at the bottom potentially pulling and breaking off chunks of the paved shoulder, 2. Weak beam posts (GR-8) have an 8” x 24” soil plate that can potentially pull and break off chunks of the paved shoulder. Should the paved shoulder pull and break off in chunks what will be the Department’s expectations with respect to patching? Will patching the paved shoulder be limited to the void around the post hole only? Should the shoulder break up will removal and disposal of the asphalt chunks be required?  
Answer   Date: 3/3/2020 2:43:55 PM
The historical coring of the existing asphalt under the guardrail runs shows that the asphalt thickness is less than 2”. Therefore, the removal and installation of the posts should not significantly bust the existing asphalt. Thus, milling the existing asphalt under the guardrail runs and paving was not considered. Please refer to "Remove Existing Guardrail" item description section 505.04 in the 2016 Road and Bridge Specifications book.
