Answer: Refer to the specifications for the geotechnical report – work performed by Freeman Co.

Question: What is the expected depth of the storage chamber?

Answer: There is no space labeled as such, unsure what you are referencing. All elevations are to be field verified.

Question: Drawing S.1 Detail 1 shows underpinning at a foundation wall to the left of the elevator shaft. At the walkthrough, it was observed that there is no foundation in this area. Please advise.

Answer: We assume this question is in reference to Driggs school. The underpinning referenced is intended for the existing retaining wall. It was assumed some excavation would be required, hence the underpinning. The exact structure of this wall is unknown and will need to be verified in the field.

Question: How will the city handle tariff increases? One of our elevator contractors doesn't account for tariffs increases.

Answer: Awarded company will have to issue a change order and receive an approval.
