Both sheet notes point to new power service feeders, however PSRDM Section 8.3.3 is in reference to Telecom service requirements. Please clarify the intent of the sheet notes. ANSWER: Note #9 only pertains to the feed between MVSS-76-12KV and T-63/65-12KV-208V, but that s also not a PSRDM requirement. So, that and Note #9 attached to the feed to 65DP11 can be ignored.

Ten (10) years experience in related construction work is acceptable in lieu of a degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management.
