The work is intended to restore proper surface profile, improve load-bearing capacity, enhance drainage performance, and extend the service life of the existing aggregate road surfaces through the addition of Crush and Run Recycled Road Base. The existing roadways and parking areas are currently surfaced with approximately 4 inches of crush and run aggregate and remain serviceable but require renourishment and regrading due to traffic wear, rutting, and loss of crown. There are no storm drainage structures present at either location; therefore, surface grading and crowning are critical to ensure positive drainage and prevent ponding. 1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents Project Locations: 1. Theodore Roosevelt Area (TRA) (FBMS Delivery Address 12517618) 13175 Mt Pleasant Rd Jacksonville, FL 32225 2.

Furnish and place Crush and Run Recycled Road Base at both locations in the quantities required to achieve a final compacted depth of approximately 7 inches, consisting of the existing 4-inch base plus an added 3-inch (0.25 ft) compacted lift. 2. Provide all labor, supervision, equipment, materials, hauling, and incidentals necessary to complete the work. 3. Utilize road reclaiming or pulverizing equipment to stabilize and rework the existing aggregate base prior to placement of new material, ensuring uniform blending and bonding between lifts. Tree roots maybe encountered and will be cut out/removed as needed. 4. Grade roadways to achieve a 4% crowned cross-slope and grade parking areas to a gentle, uniform slope to promote natural runoff away from travel lanes and parking stalls. 5. Compact all aggregate materials to industry standards for unpaved road construction, achieving a dense, stable driving surface. -- 1 of 5 -- 21-Jan-2026 Page 2 of 5 6.
