Clarifications - Q & A*Is there a specific asphalt mix design and/or would the Government prefer a proposal for a local type [commonly produced] asphalt? A) Locally produced asphalt would meet our needs. *Is there an anticipated completion date for the associated earthwork and subgrade preparation? B) The anticipated completion date for the preparation would have been August 1st. However, there is a delay to this preparation and this may delay the start of the pavement by up to several months. *What is the design thickness of the proposed asphalt layer? C) The planned thickness will be 3" so as to allow our aircraft tow tractors to drive on. *Does the proposed design include a thickened edge? If so, what is the cross section - dimensions? D) There should be no need for a thickened edge *What is the required tonnage of asphalt needed on a per hour basis? E) Standard industry practice. *Will the government provide assistance [security clearance] in accessing the Base for the delivery trucks? F) The materials truck will need to check in at the gate to enter the base. The Air Force will provide them with the authorizations to enter the base but they will still need to go through the security check at the gate. This will include a driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. This should not be an area that involves CBP. The CE will contract with the local company and provide the directions for the company. *Does the Government have a specific haul route within the Air Force Base? G) Same situation as paragraph F. The Air Force will give them directions for getting to our ramp. *Are there any special flight line requirements pertaining to signage, flagging, or strobe lights on delivery trucks?
