1)  This quantity of full threaded bolt made and melted in the US currently doesn't exist and are 14-16 weeks out on order, would the state consider a non-domestic bolt due to the time frame before NTP?
2)  Would the state consider going back to the 8d, 12d, and 16d nails as drawn out in the detail drawing 607-30, rather than switching to screws as stated in Special Provision #18 line C(1)(2)(3)(4)? Domestic screws are hard to come by and are generally 6-8 weeks out on order. A collated screw would be ideal, but we can only find those in non-domestic. I strongly feel that the use of screws would create additional time and labor and will significantly increase the cost of this project.
3)  What grade of #6 rebar is required for the anchors?
4)  When would the state have the project staked and locations established for site visits? Does the state have the names and phone numbers of the landowners in which these sites are located?

1)  Follow the requirements of Subsection 106.09
2)  The Special Provision will not change; screws will be required.  Follow the requirements of Subsection 106.09
3)  Grade 40 or better rebar.
4)  Project staking will be done after the letting.  Use the plans and mile posts to determine locations. Landowners contact information is given on the attached document. SNOW FENCE LANDOWNERS CONTACTS

In regards to the concrete snow fence, is the state anticipating a relatively flat location for this installation or will the contractor be expected to grade a smooth pad for the concrete to be placed?

Contractors are encouraged to visit the sites to determine the site conditions as outlined in Subsection 102.06-Examination of Documents and Site of Work.  Grading will likely be required for the concrete snow fence installation.  If the contractor disturbs more the 1 acre, a SWPPP permit will be required.

What I actually meant to say is that if we can use untreated bolts can we also use untreated screws in order to lower costs?

In the special provisions #16 (Concrete Snow Fence) paragraph A, it states that the contractor will provide all equipment, labor, and transportation of all materials necessary for the use of salvaged and stock piled materials. Does this include transportation of the salvaged concrete guardrail posts, and if so, where are they being stock piled? Does the state have equipment to load the concrete posts where they are being stockpiled?

The contractor will be responsible for loading, transporting and unloading the concrete posts.  The posts are stored at the MDT Harlowton Maintenance yard.  The address is 1701 Hwy U.S. 12 Harlowton, MT.
