The Contractor shall furnish and deliver an estimated quantity of 51 cubic yards of Ready-Mix Concrete over a period of two months in accordance with the following: Ready-Mix concrete: shall contain cement, coarse aggregate, and fine aggregate with a minimum of 4,000 pounds compressive strength per square inch at 28 days. Water: shall be clean and free from salt, oil, or organic substances. Misc: Verify that the mixing and trucking equipment have adequate capacity to deliver the concrete batches to site on time, thoroughly mixed and discharge without segregation. 1. Deliver completely mixed to the project sites. 2. Do not add mixing water during hauling. Add water after delivery only when agreed by the Contracting Officer. If water is added, revolve the mixing drum not less than 30 revolutions at mixing speed after adding and before commencing discharge. 3. Deliver each load at the job site accompanied by a ticket showing mix design number, volume of concrete, the weight of cement in pounds, total weight of each ingredient in pounds, time at which the materials were batched and the reading of the revolution counter at the time the truck mixer was charged. 4. Air entrainment should be included in the concrete mix. Add mixtures to delay cure time to allow for the delivery to the project site if greater than 1 hour transit from mix site to placement location. 5. No re-tempering of partially hardened material is permitted. Do not use partially hardened concrete in the work. 6. Concrete drivers may rinse trucks and dump the waste at the Crescent pit storage area. 7. Testing and verification of material compliance will be done on site B. Batching in Adverse Weather: 1. Cold Weather: When the atmospheric temperature is below 40°F, or is likely to fall below 40°F during the 24-hour period after placing, heat the materials before mixing, so that the temperature of the mix when deposited shall be between 65° and 80°F. Do not heat the mixing water or the cement over 160°F. Remove lumps of frozen material and ice from the aggregates before they are placed in the mixer. 2. Hot Weather: When temperatures are above 90°F, reduce the temperature of the concrete mix by using iced mixing water, and protecting aggregates and cement from direct rays of the sun. Do not place concrete exceeding 80°F. 3. Should the provisions noted in B-1 and B-2 above not be possible or practicable, postpone the batching until favorable weather conditions prevail. The Government will provide the Contractor with 24 hours advance notice for delivery orders. If the Contractor fails to make a scheduled delivery, any cost incurred to reschedule the delivery shall be the Contractor's responsibility. Delivery of first order shall be as early as July 31, 2017 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Inspection and acceptance of materials by the Government will occur when materials arrive to the delivery location. Should any deviations and exceptions to the above requirement be taken, the Offeror shall identify in writing with their response.
