We have received and reviewed your request for a substitution of cemented coquina base
course material in lieu of the F.D.O.T. P-211 Limerock Base Course in the subject project.
After consideration of this request and the information which was submitted with the
request we have decided to decline your request for substitution of the cemented coquina
base course material.
We have used cemented coquina on F.D.O.T. Aviation projects in the past for access
roads, but have not used the material in any airfield pavements. Our decision is based on
the relative importance of the pavement areas. P-211 Limerock Base Course material has
been used extensively in airfield pavement sections throughout the state and the
specification was developed over extensive amounts of experience. Therefore we will
continue to use P-211 Limerock Base Course materials for airfield pavement sections and
will allow cemented coquina in access road and parking lot pavement sections.
Thank you for your interest in this project, if you have any additional questions, please do
not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
GREINER, INC.
