Inquiry #1: Project plans show existing open grade asphalt inside existing rumble strip (PM 8.2 to 11.5). However, based on site visit, the existing rumble strip is actually ground through open grade asphalt. If we grind to remove all existing open grade, the rumble strip will be removed. Please provide direction how to bid/proceed.
