This will save the government both time and money. The loss of 1' of the existing travel lane will make it even more difficult to maintain the minimum 10' travel lanes. | Bid per the plans. | |||
| 18 | 8/7/20 | CP100 | After visiting the project site, it appears that the existing power poles from approximately STA 208+00 to STA 210+00 will be in the way on constructing the new swale.

The awarded contractor is responsible for providing details for review and approval per the plans. | |||
| 21 | 8/7/20 | C003 to C0013 | In areas that call for minimal widening, for example Birch St. STA 252+95.79 to STA 255+38.36, is B25.0C Asphalt acceptable to use in lieu of Aggregate Base Course? | No. | |||
| 22 | 8/7/20 | CD119 | Note 8 on sheet CD119 states to "Remove Existing Steam Vault." There is no other information provided about this steam vault.

| 39 | 8/10/20 | Birch Street Road Improvements will not print in their entirety and are very difficult to manipulate.

| 40 | 8/10/20 | on sheet CP705 there are no station numbers. Requesting a revised sheet CP705. | See Amendment 002. |
