QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

TECHNICAL RELATED

Amendment 0006 Question 10: Sheet 153-D-60036 Detail 2 and Sheet 153-D-60043 Detail 1 calls for 6” water stop at the Inlet and Impact Basin interface with the Pipe encasement. 40-D- 60003 General Notes cover portion attached calls for 2” minimum clearance on bar #8 or less.

The 3” projection of the 6” water stop into the structure will be in conflict with the rebar. How will this be addressed so it can be constructed per the specifications?

a. The waterstop has been revised at the inlet structure and at the impact basin to avoid interference Additionally, the reinforcement around the waterstop at the inlet structure headwall has been revised. Please see Drawing 40-D-60003 which provides additional guidance on placing reinforcement around the waterstop.
