Question 6: What are the estimated locations of utility’s in the area from the south of the gym, along both sides of the road to the project location?

Answer: The location of buried utilities will be marked out after an award has been made, it is up to the contractor to request a dig permit through the 914th CE office, verify locations and hand-dig within 3 feet when approaching them.

We are however able to provide you with a reference map that will provide you with the estimated locations and what you will potentially encounter when working in this area; see attached utility map (it is to be used for reference only, you will have to verify all locations).
