Grounds Maintenance Service, Savannah ATCT, Savannah, GA

THIS AMENDMENT IS BEING ISSUED TO INCORPORATE THE FOLLOWING

INFORMATION INTO THE REFERENCED SOLICITATION

Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment in Block 15, on the SF30, AMENDMENT OF SOLICITATION/MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. QUESTION: 1.2 PRUNING:

During the site visit there were many trees and shrubs observed to be overgrown and not maintained per the current solicitations specifications as in optimum appearance.

a. Since it will fall on the awarded contractor to care for this matter, will there be time consideration given to the requirements schedule for the base year pertaining to pruning of trees and shrubs so that the proper care and maintenance required for the trees and shrubs can be considered?

FAA ANSWER: The FAA expects the contractor to maintain trees and shrubs in accordance with the contract. The FAA anticipates a Firm-fixed Priced Contract to be awarded as a result of this solicitation. However, in cases where trees or shrubs need to be replaced--because they’re dead or dying—an arrangement can be made, on a case-by-case basis. Prices will be negotiated at the time the services are required.

2. QUESTION: 1.2 MULCH:

During the site visit it was observed that the beds were covered with pine straw, not mulch as stated in the current requirements.

a. Is the pine straw currently placed in the beds considered mulch?

b. If NO; please define mulch material to be used.

c. If NO; will the cost of removing the pine straw be the burden of the contractor for the base year for the change?

d. If NO; will there be time consideration given to the requirements schedule for the base year pertaining to mulch applications?

e. If YES; please define pine straw requirements for this solicitation.

FAA ANSWER: Pine straw and mulch are considered the same. The Statement of Work requires mulch/pine straw to be applied twice yearly.

3. QUESTION: What is the total contract value of all option years, including base year for the current contract?

FAA ANSWER: Current contract DTFAEN-16-P-01141 was awarded for a six-month period of performance at $6,745.44.

4. QUESTION: Who is the current incumbent?

FAA ANSWER: The incumbent Contractor is DIXIE LAWN CARE, of RICHMOND

HILL, GA.

AMENDMENT 0002 DTFASA-17-R-00193

5. QUESTION: Can you share the prior solicitation awarded value and terms for the ground maintenance at this location for comparison?

FAA ANSWER: See Answer to question 3.

6. QUESTION: Has the Scope of Work, under this new solicitation remained the same, decreased or increased compared to the current contract?

FAA ANSWER: The requirement is relatively the same as the current requirement.
