Questions Asked at the Pre-Bid Meeting
Qi. You show the finished elevation of the slab. What elevation do you want the dirt
brought to?
A1. Finished ground contours and ground spot elevations are shown on Sheet 4 of the site
plan.
Q. Will the site contractor complete all of their work before the General Contractor for the
building starts his work?
A2, No, this will require scheduling coordination with the building contractor. It is likely that
the building work will be underway and the site contractor will be installing irrigation,
landscaping, etc. to finish out the site work.
QA In relation to the fire line, can we install it to within five feet of the slab and then the
General Contractor can connect it from there?
42. The site contractor's fire line installer shall make the connection of the line to the
building after the building is set.
Q4 Are the irrigation lines and landscaping going to be installed after the building is built?
Is it the responsibility of the site contractor?
Al Yes, the site contractor will be responsible to install both the irrigation and landscaping.
The building that is being placed on-site is being constructed right now. It is a pre-
fabricated building and will be installed by the Building Contractor while the road work is
being completed.
Q5 Who will have to clean up the General Contractor's mess when he is finished?
A5 The General Contractor will be responsible for cleaning up any debris caused by the
building construction.
