Inquiry #1: We noticed form FHWA-1273 is apart of the Special Provisions. However, there is no Federal-Aid contract number associated with this project. Could you please confirm if this is supposed to be a Federal-Aid project?
Inquiry submitted 10/29/2024

Response #1:The inquiry has been received and submitted for consideration.
Response posted 10/30/2024


Response #2:See addendum for removal of federal aid requirements.

Inquiry #2: Sht 26 of 31 (Typical Section) shows sidewalk rebar. Detail shows drill and bonding the full transverse bar (in sidewalk). This is very atypical for CalTrans design .... typically CalTrans calls for drill and bonding a small angled bar here at the sidewalk edge and a resulting shortened lap splice with the transverse bar (not a full 40 bar diam lap). Please consider revising and detailing length of angled bar. Full length rebar drill and bonds, as shown, are not practical in construction.
