For low cost road, the consultant suggests a target aggregate blend. You have two sources but you may need to find a 3rd source to meet the target blend. Please provide an expected gradation for the 3rd source (if required) and find blend percentage from each source. (Max 2% variation from target blend is allowed). You will need to use at least 15% from each source in the job mix.
