ROAD REPAIRS PROJECT 1: 4.1.1. Shell road base material (Code B02 - Bank Run Shell Base) will be supplied, delivered, spread, and graded on McCall Ranch Road. The repair location starts approximately 0.5 miles east of Toledo Blade Blvd and extends for 1.18 miles (Figure 2). 4.1.2. This will require an estimated 202 loads or 4,444 tons of material. The shell is to be spread and graded to a minimum depth of 4 inches and a width of 14-18 feet. The finished roadway should have at least a 4-inch center crown to allow water flow from surface. PROJECT 2: 4.1.3. An additional area on Main Grade (Figure 3) may be included in the project if funding allows or if additional material is available from the primary work site. Shell road base material (Code B02 - Bank Run Shell Base) will be supplied, delivered, spread, and graded. This project will require initial grading to pull existing road material into the road center followed by a heavy cap layer of Bank Run Shell Base. Completion of this area would require an estimated 206 loads or 4,532 tons of material. 4.1.4. NOTE: Trucks and equipment utilizing existing roadways are likely to cause some damage which will need to be completely repaired by the awarded Bidder (Contractor). 4.1.5. NOTE: Actual tonnages of material may be increased or decreased to stay within budget constraints, or to take advantage of additional funding. 4.2. ROAD GRADING PROJECT 3: 4.2.1 McCall Ranch Road grading (Figure 4) will consist of pulling material from the road edges to the middle filling all holes between the center of the road and the outer edge creating a smooth surface.
