Inquiry #1: Please reference detail A on plan sheet X-1. This detail requires a 4' wide geosynthetic pavement interlayer (GPI); and references a mill of 0.15' and shows the 0.15' of RHMA overlay. The section 1 description on this sheet shows 0.20' of RHMA which appears to be in conflict with the 0.15'. Also the milling of 0.15' shown appears to be contrary to the 0.1' cold plane described in section 1. There appears to be some thickness above the GPI that is not described. Please clarify the intent of this detail.

Inquiry #3: Please refer to the question asked previously regarding detail A shown on sheet X-1. Since this work will require cold planning and replacing the asphalt, if it is Caltrans intent to place this one lift below the RHMA per my initial question, is this quantity to be included in the cold planning and HMA-A items or replace AC surfacing? The summary of quantities makes me believe that this work is missed.
