| 12-4025 | 202 | Various | The above referenced projects both include language relating to the cleanup of milled debris from the milling of centerline and shoulder rumble strips as follows: “Clean rumble strip and roadway grease, oil, mud, dust, dirt, grass, loose gravel, millings, or other deleterious material upon completion of the milling operation. Use only Engineer approved cleaning methods.” Does the Department want the material swept up off of the roadway surface by use of a pickup type broom, loaded, and hauled to an offsite disposal area or can the material be wasted to the side of the road by use of a sweep to side type broom? |
The material shall be swept up off of the roadway surface, loaded, and hauled to an offsite disposal area.

| 12-3132 | 314 | Todd | On the proposal on page 4 it states that the project starts at mp8.244 and ends at 11.703. On page 24 there is a culvert pipe to be installed at MP 11.89 this is past the end of the project is this MP correct and if so, is this the cross drain pipe across HWY 106? |
The proposal incorrectly states that the pipe is at MP 11.89. The pipe is to actually be installed at MP 11.089.

| 12-1027 | 300 | Perry | The Paving Summary sheets and drawing sheets 40 & 41 of 157 show a CL3 1.5D PG64-22 mix and the Bid Item sheet (Bid Item 70) lists CL3 1.00D PG64-22. Please specify which mix is intended to be used. |
The mix should be CL3 1.5D PG 64-22 as shown on the Paving Summary Sheet.
| 8/8/2012 2:30 PM |
| 12-1027 | 300 | Perry | The Paving Area Summary sheet page 16 of 157 shows a total of 86,077.37 square yards of CL3 ASPH BASE 1.50D PG64-22 at a 4.5” thickness. This calculates to 21,304.15 Tons at 110lb/SY/in of depth. The Paving Summary sheet 17 of 157 and the bid item sheet (Bid Item 70) shows 19,584.47 Tons. This leaves a remaining 1,719.68 Tons unaccounted for. |
Please refer to sheet 31/157 for the following explanations. The original paving quantity computation for this section assumed the raised median (14’ wide, 3” height) will be removed and replace with a layer of asphalt base. The typical section was later revised to keep the existing raised median and overlay with Level and Wedge. Instead of revising the paving area summary, I deduct a quantity of 1720 tons of asphalt base to reflect the above revision. The computation was based on 6700 feet (approx. length of raised median on the tangent section) x 14’ (raised median) / 9 = 10422 sq yd; 10422 sq yd x 3” x 110 /2000 = 1720 ton.

Revised Answer:“Note 16” states that placement of the material is incidental and there is a separate bid item for drainage blanket. Please refer to the description in specification 210.01 which indicates that the bid item is for construction of embankment drainage blankets for embankment stabilization. The Geotechnical Branch’s intention is to avoid paying twice for placement of the material and the drainage blanket quantities have been separated out on the applicable cross sections.

| 12-1337 | 301 | Jackson | The plans include 2,483 CY of Granular Embankment between US 421 and Laurel Fork. It is adjacent to the stream. The mandatory prebid minutes states “Clean/Quarried rock shall be used in all erosion and sediment controls.” The minutes clarified that this applied only at locations along the project that discharge into Laurel Fork. Since the Granular Embankment is adjacent to Laurel Fork, is it required to be clean/quarried rock? |
Contrary to Section 805.10 of the Standard Specifications, Granular Embankment for this location will be required to be clean/quarried rock.
| 8/14/2012 1:32 PM |
| 12-1341 | 318 | Carroll | The language in the “Proposal Note” in Addendum #1 is confusing. It states now work in the area Covered by the COE permit can be initiated until “the Receipt of the permit by the Contractor.” It appears the COE NWP No. 14 and the KY DOW Water Quality Certification documents are both included in the project proposal. Please explain. |
The language concerning the permit was inadvertently included in Addendum #1. KYTC has receipt of the permit; all documents have been included in the proposal and therefore all work under that permit can be begin as soon as the contractor receives their notice to proceed.
| 8/14/2012 3:10 PM |
| 12-2603 | 100 | Jefferson | Page 24 in the proposal says the Asphalt for the Overlay of the Approach pavement is CL4 0.50A 76-22, yet the drawing on Page 25 states it is CL4 0.38A PG 76-22.

Can the KYTC review and verify statement provided in 8/10/12 pre-bid meeting minutes with regard to quantity of excess material to be disposed of at contractors’ responsibility? |
In the final version of the pre-bid meeting minutes, the waste volume stated in the minutes will be revised as the volumes listed on the General Summary Sheet R2C do include the controlled fill volumes.

There seems to be enough tonnage within bid item 00214 Cl.3 Asph. Base 1.00D PG 64-22 to cover this. Is bid item 00214 correct? |
Asphalt related to pavement repairs is incidental to pavement repair. However, an error was discovered in that particular item and the quantity will be updated by addendum.

| 12-1337 | 301 | Jackson | The Geotechnical Notes Number 15, does not allow for the use of Non - Durable shale above or below the RDZ in the Sub grade, based on the Core log information, it does not seem, that there are sufficient amounts of durable shale and/or sandstone material available for construction of the Sub grade and other areas encountered (I.e. Saturated, Unstable, ) that would require 4.0'feet of Durable Shale and/or Sandstone. Has the department generated any computations( earthwork calculations) that would show that there are sufficient amounts of Durable Shale and/or Sandstone to complete the sub grade as stated in the Geo notes |
Sandstone or Durable Shale (SDI >= 95) are required in Geotechnical Notes # 6, 7, 11, and 15. The thickness of rock required for Notes # 6, 7 and 11 is a minimum of two feet. The thickness of rock required for subgrade in Note # 15 is two feet. Non-durable shale may be used in the embankment below that depth, if placed according to the Standard Specifications. Based on information used during the design phase, sufficient sandstone and durable shale quantities appear to be available for all geotechnical uses. The Contractor will be required to stockpile the sandstone and durable shale so that sufficient quantities are available for the areas requiring this material (see Geotechnical Note # 16).

Similar to the requirements for CLRS on roadways with Raised Pavement Markers, discontinue rumble strips at least 12” (no more than 18”) before and after the transverse joints on PCC pavement. Install as many rumble strips as possible between adjacent transverse joints while maintaining the cycle spacing.

| 12-1341 | 318 | Carroll | Planned quantities for 4” Perforated Pipe (5430 LF), 4” Non-Perforated Pipe (1250 LF), and 4” Perforated Pipe Headwalls (16 EA) do not seem to match what is in the project plans (126 LF, 52 LF and 3 EA, respectively). Please confirm the quantities are correct. |
The perforated and non-perforated pipe and headwall quantities are for the required foundation embankment benching underdrains, the transverse benching underdrains and the subgrade drainage discussed in the Geotechnical Notes. Reference sheet R19 for details.
