Q1)Item 10 Fence(type wm, 5 strand) 7610' I think it needs to be Fence(type 5 strand BW) 7510. Remove the WM. The plans call for BW. Can you look at this?

A1)Refer to Addendum No. 1 dated January 25, 2016. 26Jan16

Q2)Page 17, Substitute a field post for every tenth line post. Is this only for bid item 10 and 11? And not for item #8 and 9? Also, item # has been duplicated. FYI, Installing field post in contrete provides to be a maintenance problem, as cars hit them makes for a lot more work to repair.
