Questions and Answers

1. Can we attend a site visit in order to view the grounds to accurately assess the application area?

A: Yes, interested vendors may attend a site visit on 06/11/2026 from 9:00-10:00am at 5449 Minnehaha Ave, Bldg. 72, Minneapolis, MN 55417. POC is Terry Johnson (Grounds Supervisor) 612-735-0637

2. Check and treat for grubs, sod webworms- Is the application to treat for grubs/sod webworms and optional service? To be performed upon identification of infestation? We would only recommend including this in the program if these are identified and would price as an optional service? Please advise on how you would like that structured in the bid.

A: This will be an as needed service. A separate line item has been added to the price/cost schedule. Contractors shall quote for 1,000 square feet of the application price for this service. During the execution of the contract, if this service is needed, the contractor is to provide a cost estimate to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) prior to application. If accepted, the contractor may only execute the service when a bilateral modification to the contract has been awarded by the Contracting Officer if the price is more than the estimated 1,000 square feet. The Statement of Work has been adjusted to provide these instructions, see below.

3. Black gypsum – Same question for the application of Black Gypsum. Should we look at the application as an optional item? If it is to be included in the bid – what round would you like this included?
