2026 ASCE UESI Surveying Society-wide Competition RFI #4
-
Section 9.1 - Please describe the condition of the on-site gas line and how deep it is buried in the ground. Is it structurally feasible to construct roadways/driveways over this gas line, considering the anticipated surface and truck loads?
You can assume existing gasline will be deep enough per local requirements.
-
Section 9.1 - Do the legal terms of the gas line easement agreement restrict what can be developed over the existing gas main?
Gas line easement is for ingress and egress maintenance only.
-
Section 9.1 - The minimum requirements for the Site Plan and Rough Grading Plan include a "project address and legal description". Are teams required to create a new street address for the proposed distribution center? Is a legal description required for the entire subject property, or just the selected lot for development?
A factitious street address can be created. The legal description of lot 1 is required per Final Project Narrative.
-
Section 9.1 - Is the first lot being developed for a company which has already committed to using the proposed distribution center, or is this moving forward without a known tenant?
Team can assume what the tenant intent is, not limited to distribution center or any business type.
-
Section 9.1 - Please clarify the response to RFI #2, Question 9. Must the remaining three lots be sized to fit a 400,000-500,000 SF building footprint?
Yes, you can assume any future building will be around the same size. But according to Project Objective: Three (3) of the four lots shall be designated as remainder parcels for future development.
-
Please clarify whether the Site Plan and Rough Grading Plan are required to be shown on separate drawing sheets, or if both plans may be combined and presented on a single sheet.
Site Plan and Rough Grading Plan should be able to fit in 1 sheet.
