Is there a pre-bid meeting for this project?

1. Is a geotechnical report available for review?
2. Pay item 530-1 is listed as "Riprap, sand-cement bags." Typically, cement bags are used in place of precast, or cast in place endwalls, for which there is already a pay item. It seems that this pay item should be "Riprap Rubble, Bank
and Shore"

3. Are there site specific specifications available? They don't seem to be in the bid documents.

4. Are there limitations to work areas, or times due to wildlife?
