Questions and Answers

1. Drones allowed to measure?

No, drones are not allowed on Grey Towers Property

2. Are there gutter guards on the various gutters?

The Bait Box has one small section (approximately 3 feet of gutter guard installed by the side door). All other gutters at all 7 buildings have no guards.

3. Is electricity available outside each building?

There is very limited exterior access to electricity at all locations. If electric is needed plan to numerous extension cords to run equipment from remote location or use contractor provided generator.

4. When were the gutters last cleaned?

All gutters were cleaned last in Spring of 2025.

5. Does item 0009, Gutter Repair include woodwork, fascia repair?

No, it is gutter only repairs

6. When are the 4 cleanings scheduled?

The Contractor will work with the COR on the best times to perform the 4 annual cleaning, and 1 annual cleaning on the towers.

We need clarification regarding the gutters located on the elevated round tower/turret section.

Could you please confirm:

7. Whether the gutters on the round tower/turret are included in the required Statement of Work.

Yes, on the schedule of Item No. 0002 is the 3 Mansion Towers, to be done once annually

8. Whether cleaning or repairs are required on the entire tower or only on specifically identified gutter sections.

Cleaning is to happen on all gutter systems in the Statement of Work and the coinciding Scheule of Items, this includes the towers where the gutters are on the top of the edifice, to be done once annually. Repairs are planned to be up to 50’ annually, no location for the repair are selected for the repair, as that need can change throughout the course of the contract. The awarded contractor and the COR will select the location post award as the need arises. The awarded number of feet cannot be exceeded.

9. Whether the Government has an approved or recommended access method for this area, such as an aerial lift, scaffolding, or specialized rope-access equipment.

The government is not instructing the contractor how to do the job. There are constraints with access for larger equipment to access the east and north façade towers. The contractor can present their plan in their submission that they feel will best complete the job without impact to the resource, both the building and the surrounding landscape.

Questions and Answers

10. Whether there are any historic-preservation restrictions concerning ladders, lifts, scaffolding, anchoring, or equipment contact with the tower.

There is to be no anchoring into the historic structure.

11. Whether the Government can identify or mark all tower gutter sections that must be included in the contractor’s pricing.

Cleaning is to happen on all gutter systems in the Statement of Work and the coinciding Scheule of Items. All gutters, including the 3 towers, are visible for the contractor to locate from the ground, so the government will not be marking out the gutter systems.
