Citrus County, Florida (“County”) invites interested parties to submit a Bid to provide roadway full depth reclamation (FDR) and resurfacing Work for two lanes of E. Turner Camp Road from E Matthew Meadow Ct to the east end of E Turner Camp Blvd (including boat ramp parking lot). Successful Bidder shall furnish all labor, material, consumables, tools and appropriate equipment necessary to perform all operations for FDR, and all other work noted in the plans.
Scope of Services
GENERAL: This Scope of Services is for the full depth reclamation (FDR) of E Turner Camp Blvd, a two (2) lane road from E Matthew Meadow Ct to the east end of E Turner Camp Blvd (including boat ramp), approximately 8830 feet per lane. Contractor shall furnish all labor, material, consumables, tools and appropriate equipment necessary to perform all operations for FDR. The work shall consist of the production of a stabilized base course composed of a pulverized and blended mixture of the existing bituminous concrete pavement, the entire existing base course and any supplemental base material that is added for strength. Stabilization of the reclaimed materials shall be accomplished by injecting Emulsion and spreading Portland cement with the reclaimed materials to form a stabilized base course in accordance with attached specifications. The finished product shall consist of 8” stabilized base and 2 - 1.5” lifts of Type FC 12.5 Asphalt (76-22 modified polymer). All materials including cement, asphalt and supplemental base material, shall comply with attached specifications. The ultimate roadway section shall consist of 2 - 10’ travel lanes. Asphalt to be provided for the project must be identified on the current FDOT Asphalt Mix Design Plant Assignment Sheet and is to be submitted with the bid.

At time of Bid submission, Contractor must furnish the asphalt mix formula(s) and current FDOT Asphalt Mix Design Plant Assignment Sheet to the County Engineer. The submittal will be a current FDOT pre-approved mix design for the noted asphalt. Reclaimed asphalt will comply with FY 2024-25 FDOT Standard Specifications 334 “Use of RAP Material”. Where the Contractor has multiple production facilities, they will designate one facility to be used for this contract and use only that facility. Asphalt produced at a facility other than that designated by Contractor will be rejected for use on this project. If Contractor elects to change production facilities during this Contract, they will notify the County Engineer and receive approval prior to doing so, but in no case will different production facilities be used on the same roadway.
FDOT Standard Specifications 334 and 337 will govern – Measurement and Payment will be unit price of asphalt placed, tested and certified; and will include: the cost of mobilization, MOT, tack (at an application rate as directed in Section 300 – 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6, unless where otherwise specified, and will be sufficient to bond the new surface to new stabilized base), testing, trim/expose road/asphalt edge, chemical removal of grass/vegetation, and cleaning of roadway surface within entire resurfacing area.

 Full Depth Reclamation Contractor Qualifications:
a. Minimum Mandatory Qualifications
1. Bidder must submit a list of three (3) FDR Projects successfully completed within the last five (5) years, in which the Contractor’s portion of work exceeded $500,000. The projects should have been Federal, State or Local Government Agency.

The Contractor shall have in their possession or available to them by formal agreement at the time of bidding, one or more reclamation machines as described in the following subsection 2.1 of these specifications and other equipment and supplies which are necessary to perform the required work. Equipment shall be listed on the “EQUIPMENT LIST” form and included with bid.
2.1 Equipment
The Contractor shall furnish all equipment and personnel necessary to pulverize, spread, shape, remove excess material, inject asphalt emulsion, mix, grade and compact the processed base material to proper slope and grade. The Contractor shall utilize a reclamation machine, specifically manufactured to accomplish the work, which can effectively break, pulverize, mix, and asphalt stabilize the material to be recycled. The equipment to be used must also have the capability of introducing the asphalt emulsion uniformly and at an accurate rate to the recycled materials. The reclamation machine must be equipped with an engine of sufficient horsepower to be capable of pulverizing and mixing the pavement, base material, and sub grade soil up to a depth of at least fifteen inches (15”). The reclamation machine shall be capable of metering the asphalt emulsion application rate through an automatic injection system and shall be equipped with an asphalt emulsion storage tank of sufficient capacity to ensure an uninterrupted supply of the proper amount of asphalt emulsion into the base material when processing around corners, cul-de-sacs, dead-end streets, and other tight areas or at busy intersections. Contractor shall have a grader and water truck available to prepare the material before compaction and control dust. The Contractor shall have a trimming machine available to precisely remove material equal to the depth of the new asphalt.
