Question 29
The 53 Aggregate appears to be understated. Based on the pay items, there is 1872 SYS of
Concrete sidewalk and 921 SY of asphalt pavement. Based on the prints, all hard surface
receives 4 inches of aggregate. 2793 SY of aggregate x 4 inches / 36 inches = 310 CY x 2 Tons
per cubic yard = 620 Tons of stone. This does not include the stone under the concrete stake

not be in contact with the lead soil in the ground. Hazwoper 40 training is expected when the
worker comes in contact with the lead soil. Currently, the excavation workers appear to be
outside any EPA zone and will not need to be Hazwoper 40 trained. Is this correct?
