If you can do it cost effective, no EPDM, makeit a built up roof. 3.Line item #3 of the scope of work says to "remove the soffit,this item to be coordinated with the abatement contractor" and then atthe end of this line item says "all abatement to be completed byothers." Does the soffit contain asbestos materials? What portions ofthe soffit should be assumed to be removed as part of our contract andwhat portions shall be by the abatement contractor? There is noasbestos, its lead paint and the abatement contractor will remove thelead paint and the rest is yours. 4.Line item #3 of the scope of work says to "remove the soffit"however nowhere in the scope does it state that the soffit is to bereinstalled.

Prefinished is acceptable. 6.In Line item #5 it is stated that an "or approved equal" railingcan be used. Can we provide a proposal to supply and install afabricated steel railing that would be field finish painted matching thedimensions in the line item #5 descriptions?
