Submit new inquiry for this project

Inquiry #1: Will Caltrans consider extending the available working hours in Traffic Chart G1 and G2? These charts allow a maximum of 7 hours and 8 hours of available work windows. The 2018 Standard Specifications Section 60-3.04B(3)(c) Placing Polyester Concrete states "Protect the overlay from moisture for at least 4 hours after finishing. Do not allow traffic or equipment on the overlay for at least 4 hours after final finishing." With this Specification Section combined with the limited lane closure charts, there is very little time for a contractor to place the polyester concrete overlay. Please advise if there will be any changes made to the traffic charts or the specification section.

Inquiry #3: In order to ensure a more competitive bid, could Caltrans please answer Bidder Inquiry 1. The concern is that after the bid Caltrans may switch the polyester concrete cure time to an outdated spec of a 2 hour cure time that could create a competitive advantage for a Contractor.
