e) Please share an example of how your team handled unforeseen site conditions (e.g., utility conflicts, unexpected subsurface conditions, buried fuel lines, contaminated soil, or differing site elevations), and what actions you took to prevent or minimize delays. We’re particularly interested in proactive approaches-such as early site investigation, design coordination, field adjustments, or schedule resequencing-that helped keep the project moving without delay. Please include a specific example of the issue encountered and how your team resolved it.

f) Would interest/obligations in existing projects impact your ability and/or willingness to participate/bid on the projects?
