Yes, the finished FDR grade will be 2” below the finished roadway grade. However, in areas where the existing pavement is above or below the FDR finish elevation, it was expected the Contractor would reclaim all of the existing pavement material and use it in the FDR mix design. In the event that the contractor chooses not to utilize all the existing pavement materials and additional supplemental materials are utilized in order to meet the requirements of the FDR Special Provision, then the cost for those additional supplemental materials shall be included in the cost of Full Depth Recycling (FDR) line item. The cost of removing, handling, transporting, storing and placing of all the existing reclaimed material in the FDR operation is included in the Full Depth Recycling (FDR) line item. An addendum to add this information to the contract is forthcoming. RECEIPT OF BIDS WILL BE DELAYED. 1/13/2023
