The cleared area of work will contain space for tool trucks.

Individuals operating a vehicle in the garage will have to pass a background check and get a badge.

12 11/18/24 Drawings C004 & C005

Drawing C004 does not have the drain line crossed out (to be removed)? Please clarify that this section of drain line is to be replaced? (Drawing attached)

The intent for that being shown on the demolition plan is to show the limits of sawcut for when the 6” drain line (shown on sheet C005) is installed. There will be no drains removed, just trenching.
