721.07.03.04: Should paragraph #2 stipulate that for “older style” rail systems (as described in the first paragraph) are we allowing the contractor to simply drill additional holes in the rails for the offset installations or should they simply be disposed of as well? Because, in the end, trying to salvage old rails for newer type M installations could be self defeating in trying to gain the desired improvements. By doing this then paragraph #4 would make more sense.
Paragraph 3: The above-mentioned about disposing or salvaging of appropriate existing rails could be clarified here instead, then again paragraph #4 would make more sense.
Paragraph 4: The previous paragraph lists “mounting height ranges as specified in the Installation clause”, is it assumed that the posts are set based on the corresponding OPS/MTOD spec’s and the rail mounting heights desired? Otherwise it is not expected for any designer to stipulate this correct?
