EVALUATION FOR AWARD: Award is contingent upon an "Exclusive Royalty Lease" between Oregon State Division of State Lands and the Bureau of Land Management being signed prior to September 30, 2001. Award will then be made to the responsible firm whose quote is most advantageous to the Government, based on price and past performance of the quoter. Past performance information may be based on the Government's knowledge of and previous experience with the quoter, or other reasonable basis.

Crushed aggregate shall consist of hard, durable particles or fragments of stone or gavel crushed to the required size. When produced from gravel, not less than 50 percent by weight of the course aggregates shall be particles having at least one fractured face and if necessary to meet this requirement or to eliminate an excess of filler, the gravel shall be screened before crushing.
