It is imperative that design and construction issues be discussed and iinalized during this meeting (see attached checklist). These issues include construction limits, drainage, right of way, and utilities. Any design features that affect slope stakes, especially in environmentally sensitive areas (ESA), should be finalized at this meeting. No revisions will occur in the ESAs once the permit review meeting (4C meeting) takes place. Please note that the field inspection questions have been updated to include constructability issues, environmental commitments, and other issues that need to be addressed before the 4C meeting which will be held approximately 3 months after the Final Design Field Inspection. Also, if this project contains any new or unique construction techniques, processes, and / or products that are unfamiliar to the Department, Division, or the assigned Resident Engineer, please notify us so that special provisions, details, technical bulletins, etc. can be provided prior to the field inspection.
