Nancy, I will be glad to help. I have attached a copy of the general notes sheet from the contract documents. Note #2 clearly states that existing utility locations are of a schematic nature and differences in location or omissions of existing utilities will not be a basis for addition compensation to the contactor. Let me know if this will be sufficient evidence to deny the claim. This note is probably stated in the same general fashion several other times in the spec book. Michael Barbier, P.E.
