1. Question: The PWS states the following “The Contractor shall provide a diesel or gasoline power generator to provide temporary electrical service, temporary light fixtures, electrical extension cords, and trash containers, etc. to meet the requirements under this PWS”.

Answer: Based on experience in previous contracts, the contractor shall inform the IBWC 1 day in advance to let us know if they need to work after regular working hours.
