Questions and Answers
1. Question: There are 2 spares one is a 4" innerduct the other is a 2", are both of these to get a
#8 ground or just detectable pull tape? It is a bit unclear.
Answer: Under the wire notes table Sheet #9, the notes state: “All PVC conduits containing
conductors shall contain ground wire”. Spare conduits do not contain conductors therefore
ground wire in not required, only detectable pull tape.
2. Question: What is the type of innerduct that is being called out on drawing 9 in wire note
2. There are multiple options available, and no spec is called out.
Answer: Please follow Standard Specifications, Section 9-29.1(15)C Interduct for Straight
Sections of Galvanized Steel Outerduct or PVC Outerduct.
3. Question: Pole 1 on drawing 9 does not show that there isn't any power coming to it. Is there
supposed to be wire in the spare pipe to feed this?
Answer: Wire note #1 will be changed to #3 on the plan, which will be reflected in an upcoming
Addendum #1. Power is provided by the existing service cabinet at S 2nd St per construction
note #7.
