QUESTION: (a)Please clarify that Square footage for roadway repair is limited to what is highlighted on exhibit #1 and that the “approximate” 20,000 Sq. Ft. per SOW was an estimate and does not necessarily reflect field conditions.

(b)Please clarify which curbs and gutters are to be replaced. Is the intent to replace the curbs on either side of the road that is to be repaired? Is the 1,500 LF of curb & gutter also “approximate”, or are there additional locations for the new curb & gutter?
