Question No. 3: It appears there are two utility lines (of unknown type) lying exposed in the bottom

job?
Answer No. 3: Yes, there may be active telephone, fiber optic, and water lines in the area south of the
road, within the road ROW. The contractor should identify all utilities in the vicinity of the CBC

Question No. 4: Are we going to be using a high-strength concrete for the patching on the bridge? If
so, can you specify the strength of concrete desired?
Answer No. 4:
Note 5 on sheet 5-1 of the Contract Plans refers to Section 533 of the NMDOT Specs. 533.2.1 of the

patching and concrete repair.
Question No. 5: It appears there is a possible access route to the bottom of the arroyo from Highway
285 adjacent to the worksite. Is this an acceptable access point to the job site?
Answer No. 5: Access to the site has previously been granted to the county by the adjacent shopping
center through a temporary work permit. Any access to the site will require the contractor to
communicate with the adjacent landowners and obtain necessary permits and approvals.
Question No. 6: From where will we source water for this project?
Answer No. 6: The water source for the project is the contractor’s responsibility. The contractor can
contact the county’s utilities division to assist with setting up and account and locating county water
sources if desired.
Question No. 7: Do we need a full time Traffic Control Supervisor for this job? Or can our general
supervisor for the job conduct TCS operations?

contractor’s supervisor to control TCS operations if the supervisor has the proper TCS certifications.
