Q. Is removal of concrete barriers around the Amphitheater part of the work?

A. No. Drawing DE1 and DE2 show the areas and items of demolition. The amphitheater parking area is to remain as is.

Q. Can the contractor use the existing hydrants in the campground for their supply of water for construction purposes rather than pumping directly from the reservoir?

A. No. The contractor shall not take water from the hydrants within the campground or the Lucerne Complex. Water for construction purposes is available by pumping directly from the reservoir per Section 000001.1.3.6. Pumping from the reservoir can occur in the vicinity of the irrigation barge with an access road down to the shore of the reservoir. The public use concrete boat ramp shall not be used for pumping from the reservoir.

Section 000001.3.A.1 states in part that, “the Contractor shall construct a temporary fence with appropriate signing along the West side of Loop D, the North side of the Entrance Road, and at other locations necessary to keep the public out of the work area.” As further clarification, the fence along the North side of the Entrance Road shall extend to the east to a point directly across from Loop B.

Q. Do the borrow sites need to be re-seeded and re-shaped or just re-shaped upon completion of the work?

A. It is not necessary to re-seed the borrow sites. Section 312010.3.4.C outlines the requirements for re-shaping the borrow sites.

Q. For the irrigation loop prints IR-2 thru IR-5 shows a # 12/19 and also a #14/3. Was this designed to have one cable each coming from the pump house all the way through Loop D, or is each loop getting its own set individually from the pump house? Can you tell me who the utility for the power is going to be?

A. The irrigation sheets (pages 61-69) show the locations for the different cables. Specifically there are 2 #12/19 cables that are for valve control, one in each direction from the control location, the #14/3 was called for remote pump control.
