Questions and Answers
1. Do you anticipate Variable Frequency Drives being part of the project's design scope?
A: If a new blower or other equipment requiring a VFD is ultimately included in the project
scope, it will most likely be part of a vendor supplied package phosphorus removal system
2. Could you clarify the geotechnical engineering study has been completed? Under Task 2
it lists “Geotechnical Report” as an appendix for sections to reference and has
supplemental geotechnical listed in Task 3.
A: Yes, the Geotechnical Report has been completed.
