About this file
This document is a pre-bid meeting Q&A record for a landscape contract award with AMHC (organization name as referenced in the document). The document captures clarifications and responses provided to prospective bidders during the pre-bid meeting phase, addressing contractor questions regarding project requirements and site conditions.
The landscape project involves sodding and site preparation work with specific requirements including grading, fabric installation, and a two-week watering and monitoring period followed by a one-year warranty. Key clarifications include: no bid bond is required; contractors must supply their own water with designated staging areas near the admission area fence; on-site disposal for excavated dirt, rock, and concrete chunks is available; staple fasteners for fabric are not required if they pose a risk of dislodgement; and AMHC assumes responsibility for ongoing maintenance, fertilization, and chemical treatment of sod after the initial two-week period according to vendor specifications. Access to the yard via fence opening is permitted with restoration to original condition required. The document notes that underground utility line verification was uncertain and required further confirmation due to the facility's age.

Pre-Bid Meeting -Willow Landscape Q: Does this process require a bid bond?
A: It does not require a bid bond.
Q: Do we have to use our own water?
A: Yes.
Q: Will there be a spot onsite to dump dirt, rock, chunks of concrete?
A: Yes.
Q: Bid says to water for 2 weeks then they are requiring a 1-year warranty. How can we guarantee a 1-year warranty if we are only required to monitored it for only 2 weeks?
A: AMHC will fertilize and continue proper care after the two weeks according to vendor specifications.
Q: The sod will need to be chemically treated. Will someone be able to treat it after the initial 2 weeks?
A: AMHC will continue proper care of the sod according to vendor specifications.
Q: Says that the fabric should be attached using staples. Staples will work their way up through the sod over time. Do you still want staples to be required for holding down the fabric?
A: No, not if there is a risk of staples working their way back out.
Q: Will there need to be grading involved.
A: Yes.
Q: Where can we set out water tanks when we bring them onsite?
A: Near the fence by the admission area. Area was shown to contractors.
Q: Can the fence be opened for access to the yard?
A: Yes. Fence must be put back in place like it was before being opened.
Q: Are there any underground utility lines present?
A: No, but not 100 percent sure due to age of facility. Will have to double check.
