We respectfully request a data table showing all of the dimensions for both the sign structures and the foundations. Further, we also need a bid-item list with all item pay-items, descriptions and quantities. We received addendum no. 3 yesterday. We see that there are some minor signal details. Is this the final signal design? If so, we still need conduit and pull box designations. The plans as designed thus far are too vague. I was looking for Traffic Signal Plans on the signal installation at Meridian Avenue & Whiting Street. It is very hard to determine the detailed information needed for this installation without plans. [END OF LETTER OF CLARIFICATON NO. 1] Page 6 of 6
