Question: SCR108.01(a) states that no work can occur from Sta. 1363+00 to 1385+00 from March 1st, 2017 to August 31st, 2017 however per SCR625.03, seeding needs to be completed by September 15th, 2017.

We ask that seeding in this area be extended to October 6th, 2017.

Question: The above referenced project has pay item 27001-1000 Grout, Cement. The Contract Quantity is 25 CY. Per the summary sheets for this item, all 25 CY are located in the Bridge Abutments and Bridge Piers. The take-off quantity for this item, per the plans is substantially less than the Contract Quantity. Because drilling for this item is incidental to the 25 CY of Contract Quantity, it becomes a concern as to the intent of payment. Is it the intent of CFLHD to pay the full Contract Quantity of 25 CY, or to pay the actual placed quantity of grout?

Answer: That said the intent is to pay for that item at the actual quantity of grout placed. The reason there is more quantity than the calculated take-off is due to voids within the masonry piers and abutments which are expected to be filled during the grouting process.
