Project documents call for patching above the existing embedded metal rails. From previous experience, such repairs will crack and spall with any level of material/equipment movement over the surface. We would highly recommend removing the rails completely to avoid such damage.

The rails will not be removed. Repairs include patching spalled areas adjacent to rails and where portions of rail are missing. Refer to details 1 through 4 on sheet S‐501 and Photo 3 on S‐504.

Differemce is shown between page S‐101 and S‐102. Will this decrepancy affect the dimension of the “Area of Damaged Concrete” shown on page S‐101.

The correct door location is shown on sheet S‐102. This will not affect the dimension of the area of damaged concrete shown on sheet S‐101.

Project Engineer, Superintendent, QC Manager, Safety Technician and

Office Engineer as listed on page 5 Section 00 50 05 of the

Specifications.

Pre Award Survey is to be completed by the apparent low bid only or, if the low bid is found to be non‐responsive or not responsible, then to the next lowest bid only.

Will the project due date be extended to allow for proper review and adjustment to RFI answers?
