California Road Aggregate

More Project Details

Requirement

The intent of this contract was to furnish, deliver, and stockpile washed aggregate rock (chip rock), during the asphalt resurfacing phase. Department of Agriculture Forest Service required delivery of about 49000 tons of aggregates. The project location was Forest Service Roads in Stanislaus National Forest and Eldorado National Forest, in Yosemite Park, CA. The material was certified aggregate in conformance with Caltrans.

Challenges

• Client had clearly clarified in the contract that time is an important essence and would terminate the contract in the case of delay. Reason was that Forest Service was repairing the roads at the same time and needed the material on time otherwise the equipment would be sitting idle at job site.
• Due to high demands for trucks in the summer season, lack of available trucks was a challenge and affected the cost and speed of the project.
• Forest Service had a very special requirement about the specification because they were using the aggregates to pave the roads. For example color was an important factor due to the fact that roads must have a steady and fixed color.
• As the name poses, forest roads are always accompanied with difficulties like passing through narrow or bumpy and very steep roads, lots of trees and sharp turns which make it difficult for big trucks to pass.
