During a recent Field Visit we saw an Air Pumping station (Commercial Type) that has recently been installed at the same location as Future DVP MH#3 and a 3P transformer. This device appears to have underground lines associated with it. This device is not shown in the plans, who is responsible with the removal and/or relocation of this equipment ? It appears to be associated with the Sunoco Gas Station. MH #3 is found on plan sheet 19(3(1)

Calrification to the Rock Answer
Type:
Proposal
Question

Please clarify the previous answer regarding the question of rock excavation. It appears the answer may be stating that rock is a changed condition ? Or is it the intent that if rock is encountered then a change in conduit material type may be needed and that is a changed condition to allow for the conduit material change ? In any case the excavation of rock in all trenches is incidental and not considered a changed condition due to the presence of the rock ?
Answer
Date:

It can reasonably be inferred from the information provided that rock will be part of the scope of work in some locations. Therefore, It would not be considered a changed condition. Only, in case of a material impact due to rock, Section 104.03 - Differing Site Conditions and 109.05(d) - Payment for changes due to differing site conditions will apply as applicable.
