THE SOLICITATION FOR THIS PROJECT WILL BE POSTED ON OR ABOUT MARCH 24, 2023.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Frenchman Lake Roads Reconstruction project consists of grinding the existing AC and chip sealed surfaces and blending the pulverized material with a 1” course equivalent of crushed base aggregate, placing a 3” course of hot asphalt, replacing corrugated metal culverts, repairing a cattle guard, and painting fog-lines on each edge or the new asphalt.  Option 1 is included and consists of reconditioning and paving road 25N11F, the access to the Frenchman Fire Station.

Specific Requirements for the Base items are:

• All existing AC and chip seal pavement is to be pulverized, blended with additional aggregate, reshaped, and compacted. Minimum thickness shall be 4”.
• Apply a prime coat to compacted aggregate.
• Placing, shaping, and compacting hot-mix asphalt concrete to produce a single compacted 3” course.
• Repairing the cattle guard on 25N11.
• Remove and disposing off Forest Service land, two existing 18” metal culverts. Furnish and replace with 24” corrugated steel culvert pipes (CMPs) with flared end-sections.
• Furnish and install six traffic control signs (locations TBD) and four object markers on the repaired cattle guard.
• Traffic control for public assess to campgrounds and other Forest Service facilities.

Specific Requirements for Option 1, 25N11F, are:

• Remove the existing aggregate surface course and stockpile at the Frenchman Fire Station.
• Recondition and reshape the roadbed surface. Reconstruct the inside ditch.
• Blend new aggregate with the stockpiled aggregate, redistribute, shape, and compact the new base course.  Minimum thickness shall be 5”
• Place, shape and compact a single 3” course of hot-mix asphalt concrete as described in the base item above.
