The contractor shall be responsible for all soil, concrete, or any other material testing necessary for design and construction.
c. Contractor is advised that the dimensions and orientation to the paved gutter are conceptual in nature, clearances, and dimensions are presented as minimums. Contractor and fabricator are encouraged to meet the minimum spans and clearances as efficiently and economically as possible; that may include larger spans or different configurations that may use standard shapes and/or sizes available to the fabricator that meet the design strength requirements.
d. The contractor is responsible for design and installation of the bridge footings/foundations as indicated by site soil conditions.
e. Bridge Installation Location: The bridge will cross the concrete lined ditch perpendicular to the ditch. A centerline will be located by project personnel prior to the arrival of the contractor. The bridge will be located at the approximate location shown in Exhibits 1, 2, & 3.
