Bid Abstract with Engineer's Estimate 009-601-058

Question: What is the intent of the prep work on the BHT existing gravel roads? Are we to assume the grading and prep is incidental, or would the owners be responsible for the grading? 
Answer: The Blackhoof Township Grading will be the owners responsibility.

Question: Does the County have a measurement of how much RAP there is in the Airport Pit and in the Moorhead Pit?
Can contractors get access to those sites to look at the piles ahead of the bid date?
Answer: The County does not have an official volume of the RAP, but we estimate that there is around 1500-2000 CY of RAP between the two pits.  
Yes contractors can access both the Airport and Moorhead Pit ahead of the bid dates.

Question: Does the County have any available Bituminous RAP that could be incorporated into these projects.  
Answer: The County has a limited amount of Bituminous RAP at the Airport Pit (1570 Airport Road, Cloquet, MN 55720) and Moorhead Pit (1655 Moorhead Road, Cloquet, MN 55720) that would be available if needed.

Question: All of the plan sets for this project say each sign requires 1-top and 1-bottom post. Can you please confirm that that is correct, and all signs only require 1 post each?
Reply: Section S-44 of the Division S of the Proposal addresses this.  All of the sign posts require 1-top and 1-bottom post except for the "No Passing" signs they require 2-top and 2-bottom posts.
