1 NOV 2023 and Answer: : File ELB1_EAFB_Fuel_Dock_80_100_Backcheck_Vol_1_Dwgs.pdf has a file size nearly twice the size of the Volume 2 . This has created difficulty in processing, viewing, sharing and communicating the information. Will the Government ask the designers to reduce or flatten the file size (similar to Volume 2) to allow for a more manageable document Answer: Please assure you're fully downloading the documents from PIEE and viewing them in a PDF viewing application/software. Viewing them through a viewer app on a web browser may result in reduced . File was checked on Government computers in both Adobe Acrobat and Bluebeam Revu 20. In both cases, the PDF was easily navigable on Government hardware. Once downloaded, a contractor could consider (at their own risk) using a 'reduce file size' function in an appropriate software. I believe both Adobe Acrobat and Bluebeam applications have this capability. The Government does not intend to do this as part of this solicitation. If file functionality/accessibility remains an issue due to corrupted files, omission of sheets, etc.; please provide a new inquire with further details via ProjNet.
