Inquiry 1.) Specifications allow only 40 Working days for this project, plus the 90 days allowed after Contract approval. This is insufficient time to procure and fabricate an overhead Truss Sign Structure, with shop drawing preparation, submittal, review and approval. Will the Engineer be granting a suspension of work?

Response 1.) Submitted for consideration. 18Feb19

Inquiry 2.) Please review if a walkway is required on this overhead sign structure (bid item 11 560218) - one is not shown on drawing sheet 7/19 however the standards still call out walkways unless noted otherwise?

Response 2.) Attention is directed to section 5-1.02 for governing ranking of contract parts. Walkways are not required for the Overhead Sign Structures.

Inquiry 3.) The contractor would be drilling for a foundation 5’ dia. X 25’ deep. Are there any logs of test bores, or As-builts? I am trying to determine sub-grade conditions.

Response 3.) Reference the Log Of Test Borings as built Plan sheet included in the project documents.
