6/10/2014 We’re seeking some information regarding the CAD file used for the grading design.
We typically pull this file into our quantity takeoff software, in order for us to better calculate our cuts & fills for the grading operation. It just makes the whole estimating process faster and more accurate. Anyway, I was hoping that you would release this file to the public for this exact use. Is this something I need to request through you, or should I contact the engineer direct?
NPS does not release CAD drawings in native format to bidders. These drawings may be pprovided upon contract award. All bidders have access to all drawings and Specifications in .pdf format only.
