Question:
JS-27 states that cost for furnishing and installing supplemental steel reinforcement bars and wire mesh shall be included for payment under this item and will not be paid separately. The standard spec states that it will be completed on force account. The reason it was on force account beacause it is difficult to estimate how much rebar or wire mesh is needed until the areas is demolished and exposed. Please reconsider that the rebar is included. If it is included, please provide a quantity the contractor should carry in the bid. |
