QuestionsPWS RefQuestions from ContractorGovernment Response
1GeneralNot ProvidedFor crossing road on Gwangju AB, directional boring is recommended. But, general trench work is scheduled for Daegu AB work. When constructing trench, cutting road and controlling traffic is needed. Are we good to proceed those work?Boring is recommended when crossing major roadways, taxiways, runways, etc. Otherwise, crossing of paved surfaces may be performed by pavement cuts and resurfacing with appropriate matching road material as long as access is not restricted. This does not prevent the Contractor from using directional drilling if it is more cost effective. Boring is required in FASC areas when crossing these areas.
2GeneralNot ProvidedAmong U.S.F.K. MH(HH) and R.O.K. MH(HH), there are many connecting conduits constructions. Do we need acquire the permit from R.O.K. or do you provide us the permit to work?The FASC tasks are already in the routing process.
