Question #1: Can CAD files be made available prior to bid to assist in earthwork takeoffs?

Answer #1: CAD files of the plans, design base, and proposed surface can be made available for contractor use. In all cases, the construction plans will take precedence over CAD files if any discrepancies were to arise.

Note that the stormwater planter surface was not fully modeled and should not be relied upon for calculating excavation quantities or establishing finish grade within these areas. 

CAD and .xml files are available at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/miwc3fpdbgdtggj3hpb0o/h?dl=0&rlkey=73ckzd80bs73otsv5k4bx7we5
