The note beneath the Grading Summary Table on plan sheet 2G states that unsuitable materials identified on the cross sections or encountered during construction shall be addressed and remediated as referenced and required in the Geotechnical report. However, the Grading Summary Table and bid items have been setup such that unsuitable materials will be removed and replaced with embankment material. VDOT specifications 106.04 (b) and 303.04(e) state unsuitable materials shall be removed from the project site and disposed of. Lastly, there are currently no bid items established for the treatment of unsuitable materials. Please confirm that contractors should bid the project to remove and dispose of the unsuitable materials and replace them with embankment material per VDOT specifications, the quantities as shown within the Grading Summary Table, and associated bid items and not bid the project to treat unsuitable materials as indicated by the note located under the grading summary table.

Reference plan sheet 22 of 42 Cross Frame Section A-A. (Question from Fabricator)
The design shows copes on the channel for the diaphragm's and then bending the channel web. We would typically weld a bent plate to the channel instead of bending the channel itself. Is this something that VDOT would entertain through an RFI if we were successful?

The EBSX File from Addendum No. 1 still shows 14% DBE Goal; please reconcile
In addition; there seems to be an issue with the very last Bid Item 2080; it will not populate during and IMPORT. We have checked and it seems like everything is correct on our estimating side and also with the quantity and line/sequence number but it will not come over during an Import.
Please check to see if there is anything on VDOT's end in AASHTOWare that is causing this.
Thank you in Advance
