Q1 – How did you come up with 80 lf of culvert? The RFQ states on page 22 "do not order material until the CO has accepted the final structure size, length and alignment".

My question is this:

Bid items #4,7,9 &11 will all be effected by any change in the length of culvert determined by the CO. When do you plan on finalizing the culvert length?

A1 – The 80 LNFT was measured and estimated in the field. The intent is for the

Contractor to verify the estimated length during construction, with the CO in the field accepting the final length, size, and alignment. For bidding purposes, bid on the quantities listed in the bid schedule.
