Would bridge stake kits be required for solicitation? Is there a special decking material that the end user would prefer? The standard would be pressure treated 2” x 6” wood.

Yes the bridge stake kit is required, is decking standard with the Bridge kit?, the District was going to provide the decking.

Would it be acceptable for the support bars to be the total length of 8’3”? What is the standard support bar size for the bridges in the Specifications?
