Van Fleet Water Production Facility Improvements BVP 13-196 requested by the Contractor, which shall be consistent with or reasonably inferable from the overall intent of the Contract Documents.

The Professional will render in writing their opinion concerning the Contractor's request for a formal decision and shall submit same to the Project Manager.
