The award is anticipated to be made on the lowest total price for the chosen option of either line item 0001 or 0002. Upon determination of award, a National Park Service designee will collect a sample from the awarded vendor for testing at an independent testing facility. The sample will be tested and must meet specifications per Section 703 Aggregates, Table 703-2, page 882, of the Colorado Department of Transportation Standards Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. The gravel sampled must fall within the plasticity range of 8% with a plus or minus of two percent (+/- of 2%) to be determined acceptable. Thus the acceptable plasticity range is stated as a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10. During performance of the contract, all delivered or received gravel must meet the Section 703 requirements.
