Solicitation Number: 140L3623Q0016 Project Title: GAOA Depression Dam Maintenance

Q1: Can a stump grinder be used to remove the trees along the upstream heel of the dam down to below ground surface level?

A1: Yes, a stump grinder is an acceptable machine to remove stumps if the Contractor chooses to do so. The SOW states that trees must be cut to a minimum of within 3-inches of the ground level.

Q2: Can a woodchipper be used to chip the woody vegetation and can those chips be spread as mulch on the dam instead of being removed and disposed of offsite per the SOW?

A1: Yes, a wood-chipper will be allowed to chip the woody vegetation down to small particles, and then the chips will be allowed to be spread on the dam faces as a thin layer of mulch. However, the chips/mulching will not be allowed to be piled or burned on Government lands.
