Q) The detail on page 3 of 6 of the drawings indicates that the bottom portion of the concrete that the monument actually is embedded in is to be left in place. Does this mean that these are existing and we do not have to raise this portion of the monuments, that it stays in place? Do we only have to raise the cover up 30mm to accommodate for the overlay?

A) No, the Non-Metallic Form Tubes are not existing and are part of constructing the survey monuments.

Q) Do we have to install the monument including the bottom portion of the concrete in its entirety?

A) Yes
