Inquiry #7: Bid Item 89 quantities are short. Please see drawing SES-1, Plan sheet 159. I would draw your attention to Table A, column "Length for payment" the total pay quantity for bid item 89 should be revised to be 233'. If the department only includes whats in the ground and not the remainder of the foundation then there will be no pay item to complete the foundations as designed.

Inquiry #9: It appears that Item #67 with a pay qty of 380lf is incorrect. If you look at 229-231 you have the following qty's.
Willow Pass Road 158' - 6"

This would also reduce Item #66 to 2,400lf
