Question 1
Posted: 12/2/2021
Question: We have started working on pricing this project. However, we have found out It is very challenging to find Subs and trades are going to be able to provide the pricing during the Holiday Season. I would like to request if we can have an extension for this project bid date that would be great , so we can provide you with the best service and the best pricing possible.
Response: Please see Addendum 1
Question 2
Posted: 12/8/2021
Question: It’s a little difficult because there are a couple of symbols that may be mixed up. I’ve got: 8 Benches 15 picnic tables 4 or 6 trash receptacles 4 grills The grills appear to be round dots, but there are two that are right next to each other by the pavilion that look like they’d be trash cans. But then it looks like the symbol for the trash cans might be squares because there are (2) bump outs along the path that look like trash locations. A little help?

Question 19
Posted: 12/9/2021
Question: All, I send in this request for clarification for the Alcova Heights Park renovation project.

In the design process it was determined that a push button would be factory welded onto pole BA2 at approximately 3.5 feet above grade level. It appears redundant to have a push button strobe on each pole BA1 and BA2. It is possible to do both poles according to the Musco Controls team, but wanted to clarify the desire of 1 or 2 push button strobes. Please advise.
