Q:  I believe address 103 looks like it has a basement. The bid specs say no off-site fill may be brought on-site and we have to use on-site material to grade. I’m not sure how big the basement is but there may be a nice dip in the property that will hold water. Is that acceptable or should we add the price on bringing in some loads of fill for this property?

A:  No fill should be brought in for this project.   This site will be excavated in the future for a stormwater improvement project.  The footprint of structure should be smoothed to match adjacent grade with onsite material.

Q:  Do all the trees  and shrubs on the property need to be removed?

A:  YES. All trees and shrubs will need to be removed so that the site is clear of any and all materials.
