BOR Response

In reference to drawings 31-417-553,554,555. They read
"Information Only" on the bottom right. Can you confirm these structures are existing?

The informational drawings 31-417-553,554, and
555 are from a previous construction project. They
show the existing GK (Lateral) Intake Structure
that was labeled in the drawings as the "East Canal
Turnout Structure". This is an existing structure.
The structure shown in informational drawings 31417-553,554, and 555 is the existing GK (Lateral) Intake Structure and is directly adjacent to the GK
Check structure. These informational drawings are
provided to show dimensions and other relevant
information on the existing structure to assist
offerors in their approach to constructing the new
GK Check Structure.
Note 4 on drawing 31-417-1052, refers to drawings
31-417-1071, 31-417-1081, and 31-417-1082.
These drawings show the GK Check structure.
Constructing the GK Check Structure is a
requirement of this solicitation. The same note also
refers to informational drawings 31-417-553,554,
and 555. These drawings show the existing GK
Inlet Structure, which is directly adjacent to the GK
Check Structure. Constructing the GK Inlet
Structure is NOT a requirement of this solicitation.
