A conference call will be held following NTP to confirm the limitation of �no-dig� areas. � Specify surface-only installation of pavers and lint guards using approved, non-intrusive anchoring methods. � Submit updated drawings and specifications to the park for review and approval. Task 2: Incorporate Constraints into Updated Documents Objective: Ensure the revised drawings and specifications reflect all constraints necessary to protect historical and natural features.

Task 3: Finalize Updated Construction Document Package Objective: Deliver a fully-up-to-date construction document package, incorporating all Park feedback and finalizing both drawings and specifications. Scope: � Incorporate final Park and SHPO feedback into both specifications and drawings to address all constraints and requirements.
