Q10: Reference is made to Sheet C-116. Please clarify that only the Aquatic Habitat Restoration Items within the Phase 1 Limits are to be included in this bid.

b. Sheets C-358, C-359 & C-360 are not listed for Site Prep Contract in bottom left corner.

The only work shown on these sheets called out for the Site Prep Contract is the Access Road. Are we to excavate the benches/keys in Phase 1 Placement, or are they in already in place?

A12: For this contract, work at the Wildwood disposal site will consist only of the coordination and placement of excavated sediment. All other work related to the Wildwood site, including the spreading of sediment to final contours, will be the responsibility of the Site Prep contractor. An amendment is forthcoming that will further clarify this response.
