Thank you everyone for your responses. I will try and call each one. There has been a delay in the process....it seems that the state is having trouble printing and returning approved designs. I have the approval number, but not a stamped (approved) set of drawings as of yet. I would rather have the approved design in hand before I ask anyone to come out to the site.
The designer called last week to say the state was having difficulties and would get the approved drawings out as soon as they could. We began this process in August and were hoping to be a lot further along at this point. It would have been nice to have the construction done before the ground freezes solid. Springtime is iffy out this way with all of the weight restrictions on the roads.
It is ironic that I received notice of the approval from a contractor who watches the DES website and wanted to bid on the job-not from the state or the designer.
Hoping for the best.....
