X Government responses to questions are provided. See continuation page.

1. Referring to Specifications Section 1.6A, are topographic drawings available to determine elevations in the project area? Is contractor responsible for conducting its own survey to determine elevation levels?

The intent of the specification article 1.6A is for the contractor to field-verify actual conditions. Any topographic information available is not verified as to “as-built” condition. However, there are 1’ contour lines shown on the planting plan which give a rough approximation of the grades.

1. Referring to Irrigation Plan L-05, are the irrigation and plantings to be installed only on the berm?

The plans show the locations of planting and irrigation. Slopes and flat areas are also shown to receive planting and irrigation.

1. Please verify the scale on the drawings? The scale of the planting and irrigation drawings is 1”=20’. The scale bar does have an error. The 80’ measurement on the right end of the bar should be 60’

1. Is the contractor responsible for removing and disposing of the existing gravel along and next to the curb? If, so is the contractor expected to dispose of gravel off site or onsite? If onsite please provide location? The Cemetery placed approximately 4’ x100’ swath of gravel back of curb across from the columbarium, so visitor would not step out of their cars onto dirt. The Cemetery will remove this gravel prior to the contractor mobilizing. The contractor is responsible for removing and disposing any substances that are not indicated to remain. Only suitable soil spoils from planting and mulching operations may be stockpiled or spread in a location on the cemetery property as directed by the COR.

1. Referring to the specifications Section 2.8B and L-01, what are the specifications for matching existing organic mulch? There are two types of existing mulch on the cemetery.

Per the specifications provide the following (only the color of the mulch is to match existing):

Organic Mulch: Free from deleterious materials and suitable as a top dressing of trees, consisting of one of the following:

1. Type: Shredded hardwood; Ground or shredded bark; or Wood and bark chips.

2. Size Range shall be 1 inch (25 mm) maximum, 1/2 inch (13 mm) minimum.

3. Color shall be natural to match existing used on the cemetery.

1. Referring to Specifications Section 2.9 please clarify or indicate area where seed is to be installed? The seed is to be incorporated into the Compost Blanket, and within the Compost inside the compost Socks.
