THE ORIGINAL PROVISON. STRICKEN TEXT IS DELETED. [02-2A097-1]

What are you currently paying for these services? You can pull up the current contract on Procurement.sc.gov

Is the current condition of the property acceptable? There are some areas that need more attentions but overall yes

Are we allowed to spray a 6” border around the fence lines and objects throughout the turf area? yes

Are we responsible for cutting under the parked vehicles and objects throughout? yes

The three hillside portions should be serviced every two months or (6) times per year, and everything else should be serviced on the bi-weekly and monthly schedule, correct? Yes, but the1st 2 lines are weekly as stated in Amendment 2

Is there someone from your staff on site after events, such as Carolina games, to pick up excessive trash before we service? Or will this be the bidder’s responsibility? The boy scouts clean up after games but the remaining trash is the bidders responsibility

On the scope of work in line item #9, it says all shrub debris, trimmings, and limbs should be removed after every cut… Is this only the debris that falls off naturally, or are we bidding to keep the shrubbery and trees maintained throughout the year, along with the two full clean-ups? Things that fall off naturally and trimming as needed but not every cut

Are we to include larger limbs from storm debris in our pricing that would take more than normal labor to clean up? Or will that be addressed and proposed at an additional price? We will hire someone for these one off situations

Who determines when fertilizer and herbicides should be applied to the turf and shrubbery for continued growth? Are the current conditions of the turf and shrubbery growth acceptable? We leave it up to the contractor when it is needed, the current status is acceptable

For the Spring and Fall clean-ups, what are the expectations for the shrubbery? Are we to just tip prune any new growth or does this include removing vines and hard pruning off buildings, below windows, and off sidewalks?

Maintain the shape of all shrubbery and remove anything that is growing on the building, windows, or sidewalk

For the Fall clean-up, please define the cutback of crepe myrtles. It currently looks like the trees are being knuckled or “crepe murdered” each year. Is this the expectation? Yes, how they are is acceptable

For the clean-ups, is the weed inhibitor and pre-emergent only for the turf? Or does this include bed areas also?

It includes bed areas also
