There is a discrepancy between the sand layer callout and Note #2 on the 'Bioretention System Detail' on sheet 15 regarding the required thickness of the sand layer. This discrepancy must be resolved. Response: The site plan drawings have been revised to eliminate the discrepancy of the sand layer thickness on the “Bioretention System Detail”. 28. The 'Bioretention System Detail' on sheet 15 includes a callout for a 6" gravel layer. However, the detail shows 3" of stone under the underdrain pipe and 6" of stone above the underdrain pipe. Therefore, the thickness of the stone must be 6" plus the O.D. of the underdrain pipe. This discrepancy must be revised. Response: The site plan drawings have been revised to eliminate the discrepancy of the stone thickness in the “Bioretention System Detail”. 29. The 'Bioretention System Detail' on sheet 15 should be revised to note the size and type of underdrain pipe that is proposed.
