CO'S EMAIL

The purpose of this amendment to the solicitation is to 1) address questions from prospective vendors in response to the solicitation, 2) revise language found in Attachment B – Performance Work Statement, section 3.4.12., and 3) incorporate revised Attachment B – Performance Work Statement.

1) Question 1: In reference to PWS Section 3.4.12: “The PWS states the Contractor shall use plastic blade attachments to cleanly trim edges around all headstones. Can the government confirm that this is not a requirement for upright headstones and only string trimming of upright headstones is required. Plastic blade edgers should only be used on flat markers.”

Answer 1: Turfgrass within 6 to 12 inches of upright headstones, monuments, etc., will be trimmed to the recommended mowing height using line-type trimmers. Each trimmer will be fitted with an anti-scalping devise and used only with the device properly attached.

Question 2: “I am writing to ask if a bid tabulation or matrix was released to any of the bidders for the cancelled solicitation #36C78621Q0026 that was submitted in November 2020, and if so, would you please send us a copy as well?”

Answer 2.a.: No, a bid tabulation or matrix was not released to any of the bidders for the cancelled solicitation #36C78621Q0026.

Answer 2.b.: Bid matrix provided below.

2) The language in Attachment B – Performance Work Statement See Attachment B – Performance Work Statement item 3.4.12. will change from, “The Contractor shall use edgers with a plastic blade attachment to cleanly trim edges around all headstones and flat markers, monuments, section markers, etc. Equipment or attachments not meeting the descriptions provided under this section require approval for use by COR prior to implementation.”

To:

“The Contractor shall use edgers with a plastic blade attachment to cleanly trim edges around all flat markers, monuments, section markers, etc. Equipment or attachments not meeting the descriptions provided under this section require approval for use by COR prior to implementation.”

3) Revised Attachment B – Performance Work Statement is hereby incorporated into the solicitation.
