Inquiry #3: Drainage System #6 seems to be lacking some detail. The layout as shown on sheet #6 of 65 is missing some details with regards to what currently exists in the planned location. It appears that the run of pipe sits in alignment with an existing rolled curb & gutter. However, there is no details or bid items that deal with the sawcut, removal, or replacement of the curb & gutter, as well as the HMA patching. Please take a look at this, and give some direction.
