The spec says that the finish grade will be tested with a straight edge and required to be within 1/2" in 10 feet but there is no grading plan with future contours or existing provided‐Will a CAD file be provided with a grading plan so we can meet specified grades? The plan only shows making it slope at 5% and does not give fixed elevations.
Correct, the plan does not have fixed elevations and a CAD file will not be provided. This is for a rural parking lot and the elevations are not critical on this project. Delete paragraph 3.03 B from Section 02233 that references the grade being tested with a straight edge. The existing slope is presently close to 5% slope.
