QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

SOLICITATION # 697DCK-26-R-00150

GROUNDS MAINTENANCE SERVICES

CHICAGO TRACON - AURORA, IL (ZAU)

1. Question: Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past.

FAA Response: The incumbent for these services is Banks Lawncare, contract number 697DCK-20-C-00139.

2. Question: Section 1.2 - Period of Performance : April 1st through September 30th.

This is not the normal landscape season for Chicagoland area and would exclude Fall Cleanup as well as potential October and/or November Mowings. Would the government consider extending the quantities of service to include October and perhaps November so services associated with the fall months can be completed?

FAA Response: Solicitation update to correct all Period of Performance listings from 6 months to 8 months to reflect an April – November annual service period.

3. Question: Section 2.9 - Plant and Shrub Pruning - Trimming to be performed of all hedges, shrubs and decorative plantings in April and June. This section does not mention any additional trimmings in later months or fall. Are there expectations to provide additional pruning services outside the April and June services?

FAA Response: No, there are no expectations to trim outside the April and June services.

4. Question: Section 2.10 - Cultivation and Mulching - This section for mulch lists a required minimum depth of 3" of mulch which contradicts the mulch depth noted in section 2.6. Can you provide the correct amount of mulch that is required?

FAA Response: Please adhere to guidance in SOW section 2.10 – Cultivation and Mulching.

Contractor to install 3” of mulch.

5. Question: Section 2.11 - Fertilization - This section states Fertilizers must be used only if necessary by the COR. Should this be included in our quote? If so, what is the frequency desired so we can calculate costs accurately and draft a work schedule that will meet the government’s expectations?

FAA Response: The FAA does not want to include fertilizer in the contact at this time. An estimate will be requested, should the need for services become a concern in the future.

6. Question: Section 2.12 - Raking - This sections states that this requirement is to be completed in October. This would be outside the scope of Section 1.2 Period of Performance. Will this be moved to an earlier month within the POP, or will this requirement be removed?

FAA Response: Please see response to question number 2.

7. Question: Section 2.13 - States pruning of all trees, shrubs and bushes to be performed in April

697DCK-26-R-00150

Amendment 0001 and October. This contradicts section 2.9 plant and shrub pruning specifying April and June. What is the expectation? Additionally October is outside the period of performance.

FAA Response: Please follow section 2.9, planting and shrub pruning to be completed in April and June.

8. Question: Can you provide the name of the incumbent, the current contract number, the period of performance for the current contract, and total value of the current contract?
