Questions and Answers for Request for Offers: DTFASA‐17‐R‐00309, Landscape and Grounds

Maintenance Service at the TRACON:

1) Is there a list of interested vendors present at the site visit? See separate attachment titled: Site Visit

Attendee List.

2) Is the square footage of irrigated turf available? The total irrigated landscape was released in the

SOW but that includes all of the planting beds as well. It is unknown what the square footage of the irrigated turf is, as opposed to the planting beds.

3) During the site visit there was debate about whether the north field of naïve grass needed to be included in the mowing. Has this been decided? If so, is that all of or part of the Native Seed (Inside

Fence)? If we’re talking about the triangle where it says Native Landscape Area and Gravel Parking that has never been mowed that I am aware of, so I wouldn’t include it in the mowing. That might be where they do a beauty band around the edge so we can walk the fence line for security checks.

4) Is there a cut sheet available for the sod that was installed as part of the landscape installation? A cut sheet is not available to our knowledge. Much was supposed to be buffalo grass which doesn’t grow as quickly and required less water.

5) How many areas will require hand watering? How many non‐irrigated planters and beds are there?

There are 3 of these planter boxes on the walkway area into the TRACON. There are no flowers in the boxes, just some sort of tree/bush.

6. For the native mowing, will we be bidding on the whole area specified per the SOW or just a portion as discussed during the walk‐through? The portion pertains to just doing a beauty band around the perimeter of the native area and then bands/access paths to each one of the towers within the native areas for utility vehicles to access. It is okay just mowing around the fence line (beauty band) and then access paths,

7. The volleyball court ‐ Does the area need to be raked and top‐dressed with more sand besides doing weed control as well? It is mentioned in the SOW, but there's nothing specific pertaining to the volleyball court area itself. Raking the area and performing weed control as well is acceptable. There is no need to add sand at this time.

8. Are there any recent irrigation as‐built drawings available? Number of zones and type of irrigation controller? There could be a Hunter ICC irrigation controller with a weather station nearby. Eleven attachments of the landscape and irrigation system were posted with Amendment 001 on April 7, 2017.
