gets removed, it has to be put back. These are additional details that he wanted to go over with you all. Of course where the guide wire ends into the sidewalk, we all know what is going to happen there. That is basically existing elements such as the cracked concrete are to be removed to ensure a complete project you will be working your brick pavers around those guide wires. Some of the structures that we have existing on Collins Avenue are higher than the sidewalk grade. You have to be very certain to include in your bid the grinding of the structures, to make them level because at those structures you will have a serious issue with grades. Some of the grades, like you see in this image, someone went back and tried to grind around the top of that box and they didn't do such a great job. When we go in there and we put the pavers in, we have to make sure that we maintain everything flush, you will see some locations out there that the sidewalk gutter, the curb and gutter do not meet exactly those top of lids, and so if you use the curb and the back of the gutter to be your elevation then it is not going to sit well with your elevation on top of that drainage. If you decide to use this elevation for your pavers then it will not meet that elevation and that part has to be grinded down. Question: What is the extent of the grinding of the structures? Answer: The grinding of the structure just has to be on those edges, you don't have to grind the whole entire structure. You will have elements in this particular case this is roughly around 175`f' Street, there is a wall, these concrete pieces which are behind the sidewalk have to be incorporated into this project. So when you do the field walk, you will notice they have a driveway with pavers, our pavers are intended to start and this is going to be removed, and that wall is to remain. And so the front of the wall is going to be used as his limit, and there is only one case. Throughout the project you will see little things like these but the owners try the best that they can to repair their walkways, make sure those things are saw cut. The concrete that extends, they do not put an expansion joint or expansion material in there. What he does not want is throughout the project where we start ripping out existing concrete, start damaging their properties and he wants to make a point- that - eve- ne- e-d- to- docume-nt-those If- you -do -run- into - one -of- those - eases, - please -use common--- - sense which would dictate that you saw cut as opposed to just trying to rip the whole thing out because it will become your responsibility to fix it. In about this same location at 1750' Street we have that same detail, and in that one he thinks the only thing that can be done is to replace it. Because once we go in there and start trimming it, saw cut that, he thinks they are veneer and are really thin, they are not really full brick, it is just a covering on the top but that would have to be replaced because they did a really poor job in installing that. Another key item here is the bus shelters, he only took pictures of four (4) and there are maybe seven or eight or more, but in the bus shelters what we are intending on doing, first of all, and this is in the drawings which will be provided, when the concrete is removed we have to cast another slab underneath and then the pavers go on top of that. The bolts, they are going to be bolted on and it will be bolted through the pavers into the concrete that is being proposed, and it will be installed by you all. There are areas where the bus shelters extend beyond the back of sidewalk and that has to be incorporated into the paver pattern. There are locations where they are smaller, there are locations where they are larger and there are locations where there are none but in your field verification you need to verify and include into your price, and mind you on the bid /proposal form he has placed it as Pre - Submittal Conference QA 113011 RFP 11 -11 -03 Page 3 Of 7
