Questions and Answers

Answers to questions are in Red:

1. Please see image below. I want to be clear on what is wanted for the alternate at building 6 entry.

The Contractor proposed solution is not acceptable. The area in front of the building is used as a loading and unloading dock for the building and as such making a handicap parking space at that point is not acceptable. The new sidewalk must either exit the parking lot where it currently does or the sidewalk can be extended to the west with the sidewalk entrance at the location to be incorporated with the new concrete being poured in that area. No sodding is required. Existing trees to remain. Fill to be provided for necessary base for the new sidewalk.

See below.

2.Is the plan to convert one of the spaces at the front door into handicap? No plan is to make a handicap space in front of the building. That area must remain clear.

The switch back can be placed at the back of the stall as well, but would involve more ramp. See earlier response.
