Amendment 0002 – Questions and Answers after August 3, 2018

Q1.) Is it possible to have the intake and diversion work as an option item?

Q2.) Is it possible to obtain a copyof the original plans for the diversion?

A2.) The original plans are not available but plans are attached for repairs that occurred in 2002.

Q3.) There does not appear to be a hole in the existing concrete wall at the new gate location (hole at new

2’ sluice gate). Is there a new hole required?

A3.) Yes. Hole should be sized to accommodate operation of 2’ sluice gate.

Sheet 8 of the plans contains a note on detail 2: “Field verify exst concrete footing add concrete sill under gate as needed.” If additional concrete is needed, pour a 6” slab and connect to existing concrete footing and apron with #4 rebar dowels.
