No, the location in question is not a mandatory excess material site for the Project. The DBT is free to make arrangements with any interested party to dispose of all excess materials generated by construction of the Project. As per the Scope of Services, all work must be done in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and permits

Question:

Does KYTC want the design build team to change deficient vertical curves along the project to the proposed 70 MPH design speed criteria? Doing so would require raising grade on two sag vertical curves (Approx. 1 ft and 4 ft) and lowering grade on two other crest vertical curves (Approx. 1.6 ft and 5.3 ft) with full depth pavement and not overlaying the existing pavement as is the desired option.

Answer:

KYTC concurs that the desired option is to overlay the existing pavement. Based upon evaluation of available plans, KYTC will allow the DB's to utilize a design speed of 60 MPH for design of the roadway geometrics. Please be advised that this exception must be documented in the Design Executive Summary that must be prepared and submitted for the project by the DBT.
