certified weed free mulch at a rate of two tons per acre . The <br /> Division derived the unit cost by averaging the revegetation <br /> line item costs submitted by the three lowest bidders for the <br /> 1996 road bid. The bid schedules and other documents related <br /> to this cost will be made available for inspection at a <br /> mutually convenient time at the Division' s office in Denver <br /> and\or Grand Junction. <br /> 30 . In the 1991 Reclamation Bond calculations, the <br /> mild slope seeding cost was $599 per acre, why are the present <br /> mild slope reseeding costs so high? <br /> Response: The present costs for revegetating slopes at <br /> 3H: 1V or shallower were derived from the average of prices bid <br /> by independent contractors for revegetation of shallow slopes <br /> at Coal Basin during competitive bidding for the Rock Dump <br /> Project, Rock Tunnel Project, Warehouse Vicinity Project and <br /> Waste Piles Project . The 1991 Reclamation Bond calculations <br /> were not based on costs contained in actual bids for work to <br /> be done at Coal Basin.
