The document provides observations and alternative suggestions on the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for various bridge structures including:
1. LVUPs - Corbel quantities, wearing coat thickness, approach slab length deductions, and inclusion of dismantling quantities.
2. MNBs - Structure width modifications, abutment foundation width, retaining wall lengths, median widths, approach slab widths, and inclusion of deck slab and diaphragm reinforcement.
3. ROBs - Structure width modifications, abutment stem sizes, inclusion of structural steel quantities, expansion joint type, foundation indices, and deck slab widths. Alternative suggestions include modifications to member sizes, indices, and inclusion of rehabilitation quantities.
