The Fargo Public Works Department has evaluated different types of aggregate materials, concrete, asphalt, and emulsified asphalt and has determined that this published specification is best suited for the FPW needs in terms of quality and features. This specification shall not be interpreted as restrictive but rather as a measure of quality and performance against which all other materials will be compared. All materials furnished will meet or exceed City of Fargo Standard Specifications for Construction (Rev. 2021 or newer) or the NDDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (Rev. 2022 or newer). It is the intent of this specification that all products identified for purchase may not be awarded to a single submitter. All items and products identified within this RFP will be awarded individually based on lowest price. Product quality, availability, and delivery will be secondary factors in successful awards. FPW also reserves the right to reject any or all proposals or any part thereof, and to waive any minor technicalities. If the material is not available at the time of ordering, FPW will purchase said materials from the next lowest submitter that has availability. 2.0 EQUIVALENT PRODUCT Proposals will be accepted for consideration on any manufacturer that is equal or superior to the materials specified. Decisions of equivalency will be at the sole interpretation of the FPW. A specification sheet of each product is to be submitted with proposal. 3.0 INTERPRETATIONS In order to be fair to all proposers, no oral interpretations will be given to any proposer, as to the meaning of the specification documents or any part thereof. Every request for such a consideration shall be made in writing. Based on such inquiry, the FPW may choose to issue an Addendum in accordance with local state laws. 4.0 GENERAL The specification herein states the minimum requirements of the FPW. All proposals must be regular in every respect. Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions shall be cause for rejection. The FPW will consider as irregular or non-responsive any and all proposals that are not prepared and submitted in accordance with the proposal document and specification, or any proposal lacking sufficient technical literature to enable the FPW to make a reasonable determination of compliance to the specification. It shall be the proposer’s responsibility to carefully examine each item of the specification. All variances, exceptions and/or deviations shall be fully described in the appropriate section. Deceit in responding to the specification will be cause for rejection. 4 Aggregate Materials Material Description Unit of Measure(U/M) Unit Price Picked Up Unit Price Delivered Class 5 Gravel* Exceptions, Deviations, Minimum Orders: * Specifications to follow NDDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and City of Fargo Standard Specifications for Construction.
