The goal is just to stabilize the bank in this location.

5. Is there any structural instability with the structures above the bank or concern about the structure above the bank? Have there been any investigations into that?

We have questions about the land ownership along the bank, we are confident that the U.S.

owns a flood easement on the land, there is deck that goes down to the river, it is subject to the flood easement, and we are, not worried about deck.

6. Who owns the land and are we okay to get in and work at the bank?

Confirming ownership of the land currently, vendors are okay to work at the bank, within the flood easement.

7. For the plans, will they have local elevation control, or do they need to be tied into specific datum for elevation control?

Will need to look into, don’t know that there is any need to tie into a real world elevation, surveyors are working in that area so if there is a need to tie into that we would have the surveyors set that control.

8. Clarify the due dates in the schedule: does the draft and final design report includes the drawings and specs in that report as well?

Yes.

9. 172 linear feet is primary area of concern and the PWS states the solution may address more or less of the estimated length. Does the Government see this as an opportunity to work over a larger area or is the priority to focus on just stabilizing the section (thereby minimizing the cost)?

The latter, priority is to stabilize the primary area of concern.
