21. Section 315 CSRB Apr 30 2025 at 10:11 AM

It appears that the version of section 315 in the bid documents wants the contractor to apply a single 89 surface treatment layer or OGI as the curing method on roads that are greater than or equal to 400 ADT. Doing this instead of just using prime coat and sand will dramatically increase costs for this project and extend the completion for the project. Can the County please allow the contractor to use prime coat and sand on all FDR streets as the curing method?
May 7 2025 at 10:16 AM

For this contract, prime and sand will be accepted for all FDR roads.
