Inquiry #1: Would you please clarify what will be needed for bid item #8 "Temp Gravel Bag Berm" - 8,000 LF:
1) Plan sheet WPCQ-1 says these bags are to be placed to protect the slotted drain, and refers to Standard Plan T62. This detail does not show the configuration of gravel bags at or along a slotted drain. How far off the edge of the drain are the bags to be placed? Should they be laid one level or two levels high?
2) Plan sheet C-1 indicates that the existing slotted drain is along an existing median concrete barrier. Plan sheet X-1 indicates that the median shoulder is only 2' wide. Would we be creating a road hazard by placing gravel bags right next to the driving lanes of this very curvy road?

The chart for "Locally Failed Areas" - location column "PM" - some of the locations specify mile markers such as 7.0 & 7.1. Other locations have a "T" prefix. What does the "T" prefix signify?
