1. What wall thickness pipe is to be used, 40 weight, schedule 40 etc.?

4-inch-thick galvanized steel piping.

2. Is there a welding procedure required?

The ideal method is to remove the zinc coating from the area where you are welding. If you can¿t do this, use a filler material on the zinc-coated portion of your welding area.

Yes, please refer to Statement of Work, page 9.

4. Is pickup truck access available?

Yes.

5. Is there an area to store supplies on site?

Yes, in parking area.

6. Are the existing posts for the wheel stop and the wooden fence in concrete?

No.

7. Where is the gate supposed to be location?

Please refer to the Scull Shoals Parking Lot Sketch.

8. Are dumpsters allowed on the property?

Yes, temporarily. After project completion, they would need to be removed.

9. Is it acceptable to dig around stop-wheel holes?

Yes, but only if necessary. Please keep additional ground disturbance at a minimum.

10. Who is taking responsibility of painting the new wheel stops?

The contractor selected.

The Forest Service will remove that debris.

No, but the angle of the fence can be skewed to avoid contact with the ditch if needed.
