Question: Is the ideA to have the road conlTactor stm1 the job after W ASA? <br />Answer: Yes. W ASA will be going the deepest and therefore starting the work <br />first. It will be the 172ml Street contractor's choice to install cross drains or <br />whatever is necessary at the time that WASA llllS the ditches open or wait until <br />they have back-filled to grade. This contract is going to be awarded around <br />August 16th, 2007 so that we are not really looking of the 172nd Street contractor <br />to start until the end of August or the beginning of September. The 172nd Street <br />contractor will not be present at W A8A's preconstruction meeting. <br />c.

If you <br />are at Collins Avenue, there will be no turning into 172"11 Street. <br />f Question: The 172J1ri Street contractor will have 10 do it in segments because we don't <br />have a wide roadway there? <br />Answer: Assistant City M~lnager/Service Jorge Vera advised that W ASA will try <br />to keep one (1) one-way lane always open. Their concern is at Collins Avenue <br />where the manholes are so dcep that, without shoring, it will be a very large hole. <br />This area has sugar sand. You will not have to be digging that deep. By the <br />time you arrive, the first section will be ready at grade to install the various <br />components of this job, They will be shallow so that you can maintain that One- <br />way in. <br />g.
