Inquiry #2: Please clarify what type of conduit is required for this project.
Per the Special Provisions, Standard Specs., and the SHEET NOTES on the following drawings SHEETS (E-2), (E-7 thru E-10), (E- 22 and E-23), (E-28), (E-34) and (E-37) which show the vast majority of conduit to be installed on this project does it require anything but RGS or flexible conduit.
Then if you look at the Nav. light mounting details (ED-1, ED-5 and ED-10) there is a note "RGS PVC COATED CONDUIT" piping the light and feeding the MONITORING BOX.
Is this note for the lights only? Piers only? entire job?
