32 10 00 Bases, Ballasts, and Paving: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Paving section thickness and material specs conflict with civil drawings on subgrade preparation and drainage requirements.
Most Bases, Ballasts, and Paving contradictions trace to the same root: the specification and the drawings are produced by different people at different stages, and never fully reconciled before the set goes out. By the time the conflict is found in the field, it is an RFI, a delay, or a change order.
Lintel cross-references section 32 10 00 against your full drawing set, schedules, and the rest of the project manual, flagging every disagreement with a citation to the exact page so it is resolved in review.
Common contradiction types
Section thickness vs. civil drawing
A frequent bases, ballasts, and paving conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Subgrade prep conflicts
A frequent bases, ballasts, and paving conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Drainage requirement gaps
A frequent bases, ballasts, and paving conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Frequent RFIs
- Paving section thickness conflict between spec and civil detail
- Subgrade preparation not matching spec requirement
- Drainage pattern not meeting spec requirement
