Inquiry #6: Shoshone Caltrans 09-363404 project. I see the box culverts are listed as a precast item, and the portion of RCB called end treatment is the only part that will be cast in place.
I see bid item #30 is for the RCB. And Bid item #31 is for the end treatment.
Bid item #30 has estimated quantity of 1,510 LB, I have come up with 16,700 LB, just the cutoff walls for drainage system 1 & 2 RCB’s come to over 1,400 LB.
My question is, am I missing something or is the bid schedule wrong?
The detail on sheet C-1 / page 3 mentions “a†bars the same as the RCB. The RCB is precast and has wire not rebar, so I have to use a Caltrans D80 detail for a 5’W x 2’H RCB, the “a†bar would be a #7, then incorporate the additional rebar called out in the detail.
Do you have any information that will help me figure this out?
