Questions & Answers:

1. QUESTION: I did see that there is a section (specifically pages 24 & 25) that require information regarding the personnel and equipment used and would ask if those are pertaining to the unloading/delivery or the actual fabrication of the bridge(s)? It's just a request we've not seen before and I want to confirm what you are looking for.

2. QUESTION: I was also wondering if we could get the list of local contractors you mention in the listing?
