Inquiry #2: Department issued "Addendum 1", states that "The revisions declared
in this addendum are an essential part of the contract."

Yet the only changes are to Special Provisions, NSSP 12-3.20, Temporary Barrier.

There is no Temporary Barrier on this project?

Is it the intent of the Department that all of the PPC Overlay is to be milled & filled in the allowable nightly closure times?
