Questions and Answers

How is the brush pile and other slash to be handled?

The existing brush pile will be removed by the Forest Service before work starts. Contractor can grind and chip all stumps and any additional clearing slash created by his operations. Larger non-merchantable material will be scattered below the site.

How shall the grading be done after demolition of Building 1? Is the retaining wall to be removed? Is fill dirt required?

The building, slab and retaining wall are to be removed. The site is to be re-graded to blend into the existing ground. No material is figured to be imported to the site.

Sheet P-1 Plumbing Fixture Schedule lists a drinking fountain, but one is not included in the plumbing schematic.

No drinking fountain is required. The Schedule is a standardized schedule used by the Forest Service; the schematic is specific to this project.

Which type of block is to be used? Sheet A-1 states Split Ribbed but Sheet A-2 states Split Face.

Split Ribbed block shall be used.
