• Ground penetrating radar may be needed to locate existing utilities

• There will be one contract issued for all 4 sites

• All sites will need field verification

• Include topography survey, push-pull testing and soil borings as needed to perform the work

• Target design goals for energy are as follows: Cadillac (target 110% 32 kw annually) Traverse City (20 kw annual utility limit) Gaylord (32 kw Repair Center / 16 kw CSC) Escanaba (31 kw)
