Inquiry #1: On Sheet 29, Drainage Quantities, APC is exclusively listed as CSP, however Topic 857.1 of the HDM requires provisions for alternative pipes. Please provide guidance into which alternatives are acceptable on this project per AltPipe.

Additionally, Note 1 on Sheet 29 states: "Downdrains and flared end sections must be same material as culvert.", Note 3 on Sheet 27 states "See Standard Plan D94A and D94B for details not shown.". D94A references plastic FES dimensions that are not commercially available in California, please update D94A to reflect commercially available plastic FES.

Inquiry #2: Drainage System 9 calls out a Temporary Construction Easement that falls on an existing deteriorated pavement driveway. Upon a site visit, the landowner was under the impression that they would have an all-new paved driveway for the usage of the Construction Easement. Given the current condition of the driveway, any use of heavy equipment/trucks will result in further deterioration. Would it be possible to see the easement agreement with the landowner?
