Inquiry #4: Cementitious Pipeliner at Location #1 says that a minimum of 3.5" CR 9,000 needs to be used. Design calculations show that the minimum of 1" at all other locations is more than sufficient. Can the requirement at this location be reduced to match the others? Also, can we utilize a cementitious pipeliner product other than CR 9,000 at this location provided it is on the AML?
