Questions Answers

1 After adding up all the fence they have I am coming up with

11,045' Almost twice as much as the bid quantity. Do we know why?

Addendum 001 updates notes and quantities to correct and clarify.

2 They want 76'' T-posts according to the detail. 72'' posts would give them 30'' in the ground. 2' in ground is the CDOT Standard.

Is 30'' adequate?

Addendum 001 updates to allow 72” post length with 30” embedment.

3 They show gates on the detail but I don't see gates on the plans or

Bid Tab. Am I missing them?

No gates are being replaced as part of the project.

4 They don't have quantities for End and Corner Braces. This leaves a lot to interpretation as far as the overall price of the estimate.

Would they be willing to give a estimate on brace quantities?

Design and locations of brace and corner posts are not quantified or identified in the plans.
