Q) Please provide the name address and phone number of the source of the rubber weed mat.

A) Since this is not a sole source item, we cannot provide that information. However, during the development of this project, Design was able to locate at least 3 different manufacturers; there are potentially even more at this time.

Q) The project design includes the use of existing Telephone/Communications Conduits for bringing 120V power (2-#10) to the HAR Cabinet. Sheets 14 & 15 show adding the power conductors (2-#10) into the exisitng conduits with exisitng 6 Pair SIC. National Electric Code does not allow the mixing of the 600V rated power conductors with the 300V rated 6 Pair SIC. Typically a separate power conduit run is needed to serve Electrical Cabinets & Components. Should not a new power conduit be installed from the closest service or splice point to the new 334 Cabinet ?

A) Bid in accordance with the Contract Plans and Specifications.
