X Is the grass seed specs buried in one of the plan pages or will the spec book be emailed to me because I'm on the interested vendors list?

Our requirements for seeding are in the specifications. The construction requirements are in Section 625, and the material requirements are in Section 713.

We do not send out spec books. Everything is online.

X I think I might see the problem. On page G.11 it states (see details Sheet F.23) ‐ which can not be found. The plans on line go from F.21 to G.1. Maybe the seeds specs are in the missing pages.

Seed mix is not included on the Plans.

Please refer to the Specifications. Seed is government furnished. See Section 625 of the Specifications. The reference to Plan Sheet F.23 that occurs on Plan Sheet G.21 is incorrect. The Plans will be revised in a forthcoming Amendment.
