Plowing is called Trench.B.Nunes6 2/28/2013BFO 96i and 48i EE(D) existing fiber duct, 45feet and -160 feet. It’s on the unit tabulation butpossibly not on the as-builts.There are 5 instances of the “ED” unit:Sheet 003-31 (BFO96(2x1.25”)ED,Quantity = 40’) ** Note that this was probably fat-fingered and should havebeen 30’. Looking at the asbuilts from the SR19 project, there was a 10’length of 4” stubbed to P122. Therefore this unit calls for a BFO96I (one1.25” duct with a 96 fiber in it, along with 2 vacant 1.25” innerducts) pulledthough the 4”. The “E” is for existing duct per RUS and the “D” is forDUAL or multiple pulled together. This unit was not be part of the SR19build since it includes the cable and ties to the BM82 from the new build.This unit is correct in this instance in this case and also applies in thebelow locations. Sheet 029 (BFO48I(2x1.25”)ED, Quantity = 45’); FromHH18 to P103, Sheet 036 (BFO96(2x1.25”)ED, Quantity = 45’), From HH20to P135, Sheet 039 (BRO96(2x1.25”)ED, Quantity = 30’), From HH23 toP156. Any IV units that are prefaced with a cable designation needs tohave the cable included. Example: BFO48IV(1)(1.25”) includes cable.B.Nunes
