| Question: In regard to bid item 623.0203. Would NDOT consider changing the vaults to #7E Pull Boxes with Locks. Considering intended use, price and availability. |
| Answer: It is unclear what a #7E pull box is, but if it is referring to bid item 623-0236 (No. 7 pull box, modified), this will not be an acceptable replacement for bid item 623-0203 (vault). Bid item 623-0203 is being used for wire theft mitigation instead of a concrete-encased pull box with a heavy lid cover for this protection. District 3, the maintaining district for this area, has determined that its preference for wire theft mitigation is to use bid item 623-0203. |
