Project No. ID PFH 26(4) Project: Ketchum‐Challis Highway (Avalanche Repair)

# General Technical Question Answer Date 1 X Section 253.03 of the special contract requirements states “Do not designate the project manager, superintendent, foreman, testing technicians, or traffic control supervisor as the QCM”. May the contractor designate responsibilities of these other roles to the same individuals? For example, may the project manager and superintendent duties be assigned to one individual?

Yes. The requirements of Section 153 apply only to the QCM. The specification does not prohibit the project manager and superintendent being assigned to one individual.
