Q: Please conﬁrm that no Construction entrance permit has been completed. Has this time period been
considered in the contract calendar days?
A: No construction entrance permit has been obtained by PCCD.

Time to obtain an entrance permit is not included in the performance timecomputation.
Q: CS-21 Excavation, states borrow areas must be maintained no steeper than 5H : 1V. Will this have tobe graded daily during excavation operations or can this be accomplished on a weekly basis?
A: C Spec 21.10.d(2) requires “All excavated slopes with the limits of the borrow areas shall bemaintained to be no steeper than five horizontal to one vertical”. Bid accordingly.

A: One 1-point test will be required for each type of drainfill unless the material changes. If the materialchanges, additional testing shall be required.
Q: CS-61 Rock Riprap, states equipment shall not be allowed on the rock during or after placement.

the riprap is not being broken down or fabric damaged?
A: No.
Q: CS-94 Contractor Quality Control, states (one) one-point test must be performed for every (3) in-placemoisture density tests being performed. Will this be required only if there is a noticeable change inmaterial or when a lift fails to meet moisture/density requirements?

shall be conducted for every three in-place moisture density tests that are taken.
