Inquiry #7: Bid Item 100 - Remove Concrete Barrier - We believe that this quantity is incorrect and should be 193' not the 370' that's given. The reason for this is the summary of quantities is calling our the same location twice for the 176' on L-2. Its also picking up the 176' on C-6 that's the same as L-2. Please revise the quantity to reflect what's on the project.
