Olalekan Ismail Contracting Officer

1. Need to know the total number of existing irrigation zones on the property.

Fort Snelling National Cemetery currently irrigates 180 acres along with 15 functional satellites, 352 zones, controlled by 371 valves, with approximately 4,250 sprinkler heads. Additionally, there are 82 standpipes and approximately 170 quick connects.

1. Need to know the number of blowout points for the irrigation zones on the property.

There are at least 3 known connection points for system blow down.

1. Confirming Net 30 Yes NET 30, VA only accepts e-invoice to be submitted through tungsten after service is provided and certified.

1. CLIN4003 – Sprinkler Head Replacement – Confirming the head replacement includes all materials and labor in the unit price.

Yes, the price should be all inclusive for each individual head replacement.

1. CLIN 0004 Water supply leak repairs: Water supply leak repairs are considered repairs to PVC/Poly pipe and or fittings that cannot be attributed to warrantee work due to improper blowdown. There are no construction CLINS in the requirement.”

Water supply leak repairs are considered repairs to the waterline at the point of failure and the pipe or fittings immediately adjacent required to complete the repair. Replacing thousands of feet of piping would constitute replacement and fall outside of the scope of this contract.

Prices for this contract must be all inclusive, hourly rates and T&M are not acceptable.

1. Can we get an as built plan?

We do not have as-built plans for the irrigation system. We do have various maps and plan with the locations of the existing irrigation system. These were available to contractors at the site visit and will be available during the performance of the contract.

1. What size is the mainline?

The mainline sizing is dependent on the water volume required downstream of the servicing pipe. The mainline starts a 10” and reduces in size as the required volume decreases.

1. Who is current provider and what the pricing be, should be public record?

Prior Contract is 36C78620D0108 by Pristine Property Management

1. They mention 252 irrigation heads; I think this is an error 252 are only valves You are correct this is a typo. It should read:

· The system is primarily made up of, but not limited to:

· Toro 220 irrigation valves

· Toro 252 irrigation valves

· Toro 640 irrigation heads

· Toro 570 irrigation heads

1. Are repairs extra billable in the startup or included in the price? They ask us to budget for 250 heads and 30 water breaks. feels low with 4250 heads (6%). The 640 series heads are better built and more rugged.
