| 1 | 2026-05-12 | Will you be posting the site visit attendee list? | Yes | |
| 2 | 2026-05-14 | Can both work sites be worked at the same time? | Yes, though the work schedule will have to be approved prior to start of work, it would be possible for work to proceed at both sites simultaneously. | |
| 3 | 2026-05-14 | For stream diversion, can the stream bank be excavated and a culvert be utilized to move the water? | No, A culvert can be utilized in the existing stream channel. However, the stream bank cannot be destablilized by excavation. A culvert could be used for a portion of the dewatering and a pump around system utilized for the remainder as needed. However once pumping starts it is to be continuous until instream work is completed, to avoid repeated flushing of material into the stream channel. | |
| 4 | 2026-05-14 | Can you please clarify the requirement for splicing in the bottom sections of the H-piles? | As per plan notes, all splices (welds) shall be in the bottom 1/3 of the pile. No more than two splices are allowed per pile, and all splices must be at least 10 feet long. | |
| 5 | 2026-05-14 | How far away from the road are the pile walls? | Pile wall locations will have to be surveyed under item 15201 "Construction Survey and Staking". For estimation purposed, the distance can be scaled from the project plan sheets. | |
| 6 | 2026-05-14 | Is there any work required on the upper side of the roadway at site 2? | Required work on the cutbank side of the slide will only be as required and specified in the project plans. | |
| 7 | 2026-05-14 | Will the material from the drilling operation have to be removed from the project site? | Some material may be utilized to dress in the slopes. However, all material not incorporated into the project will have to be removed from Forest Property. | |
| 8 | 2026-05-14 | Does woody material, currently in the stream channel at site 1, need to be removed from the project site? | No, woody debris within the stream channel can be cut and placed within the stream channel and wasted within the construction limits.
