Question 5: Alternate deduct #2 is very confusing. Specification section 028213.13 under 1.1.2 B states the base bid includes 96 feet of asbestos pipe insulation. Right below it the Alternate Deduct states to remove 200 feet of pipe insulation. How can we deduct more than what is in the base bid?

The description of Alternate 1 on page 5 of the solicitation is very confusing as well. Can you please clearly let us know what you are requesting us to provide in alternate #1?

Response 5: Please note the correct of the number of linear feet of pipe insulation in section 1.1.2
