(Copies of the referenced Montana Specifications may be obtained from the Montana Department of Highways, Highway Building, Helena, MT 59620) Aggregate Gradation Table:Sieve SizePercent Passing by Weight 3/8" 100% No. 4 15% or less No. 8 - No. 200 2% or less 1. The material for Grade 4A must be non-plastic. 2. The composite aggregate must not have adherent films of clay, vegetable matter, frozen lumps, or other extraneous matter that prevents thorough coating with bituminous material. Bituminous material must remain adhered to the material upon contact with water. No combination of shale, clay, coal, or soft particles shall exceed 1.5 percent. 3. The material shall have a wear not to exceed 30 percent at 500 revolutions. 4. A minimum of 70 percent by weight of the coarse aggregate for Grade 4A must have at least one fractured face. 5. All contractors shall supply documentation of gradation test results to NPS along with their quote. 6. It is highly desired that the NPS pick-up location for the "supply only" alternative be no farther than Livingston, MT (63 miles from Mammoth Hot Springs, WY.) However, alternate locations will be considered on the basis "best value" to the Government as further defined below. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: The contractor shall furnish weigh tickets from state certified scales for each delivery made. Payment will be made on actual quantities received and accepted. TESTING: The contractor shall submit a test sample to the government for suitability evaluation prior to the actual delivery or acceptance of the cover aggregate. VEGETATION MANAGEMENT: The control of noxious weeds shall be achieved through a weed management plan: All parties submitting quotes must have a source of material with a current weed management plan that has been approved by the local county weed board and Yellowstone National Park. All plans require one annual inspection by park staff during the growing season (June - August) prior to the sale of material. Parties submitting quotes must provide proof of the most recent weed inspection by Yellowstone National Park staff. The weed inspection will designate a pit in one of three rating categories: acceptable, conditionally acceptable, or unacceptable. Material from a pit designated as unknown or unacceptable can be used if it is heat treated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and promptly transported from the quarry to the park or a pre-approved weed free storage area to prevent possible weed contamination. (Note: Contractors that previously submitted a weed certificate under RFQ# Q1574115016 need only so indicate.) A list of weeds of concern can be obtained from Yellowstone National Park. The control of noxious weeds shall be further achieved by the following method: HAULING: All vehicles and equipment to be used in Yellowstone National Park shall be thoroughly pressure washed prior to arrival. Equipment shall be inspected at the appropriate park entrance station by a designated park employee and only clean equipment shall be permitted into the park. Particular attention must be shown to the under carriage and any surface where soil containing exotic weed seeds may exist. All loaded trucks and trailers shall be covered (tarped) when loaded. These efforts are critical to prevent the introduction and establishment of non-native plant species into the park. Equipment inspection will be scheduled by the maintenance office and take place at the park entrance stations. Inspection records shall be maintained by the park service. Equipment found operating in the park that has not been inspected shall be dead-lined and subject to a citation. The maximum combined length for trucks pulling trailers in Yellowstone NP is 75 feet.
