TO ALL bidders:

Addenda are part of the Contract Documents and are issued to amend or interpret any Drawings and Specifications, answer any questions submitted by bidders, and make required changes or modifications, including additions and or deletions to the original unsealed bid document.

3. Revised Scope and Terms document is attached.

The following questions from potential bidders are answered Question 1.I have a question about the frequency of the services mentioned in the bid. I noticed that the quantity listed on the bid submission page is 24. Does this indicate that services are required every month throughout the year, for 2 years, including the winter months when grass and weeds typically do not grow?

Answer: The initial term of the contract is two years. Bid line item quantities are for 1st year of service because price increase can be requested for second year of initial term. Services are required 12 months per year twice a month for each site.

Question 2 . Also are there particular days or times that these services are to be provided?

Answer: There are no particular days for these services to be performed . Work can be performed any day of week between sunrise and sunset.

Question 3. I plan to use a subcontractor for this contract who is fully licensed and insured. Please let me know if there are any additional requirements or considerations for subcontractors that I should be aware of.

Answer : Note these Special Terms and Conditions :

10. PRIME CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES: The contractor shall be responsible for completely supervising and directing the work under this contract and all subcontractors that he may utilize, using his best skill and attention. Subcontractors who perform work under this contract shall be responsible to the prime contractor. The contractor agrees that he is as fully responsible for the acts and omissions of his subcontractors and of persons employed by them as he is for the acts and omissions of his own employees.

11 SUBCONTRACTS: No portion of the work shall be subcontracted without prior written consent of the purchasing agency. In the event that the contractor desires to subcontract some part of the work specified herein, the contractor shall furnish the purchasing agency the names, qualifications and experience of their proposed subcontractors.
