These Requests for Information (RFIs) are current as of 17 May 2013. All RFIs must be submitted NLT 17 May 2013 at 4:00PM, MST per the solicitation.
1. Are all 53.98 acres shown in the Work Load Data irrigated with in ground systems? No.
Approximately 49.5 of the improved acres are irrigated. The remaining 4.48 acres of improved are comprised of non-irrigated rock/mulch beds or native grasses that do not require watering but we intend to have maintained at improved levels.
2. How many acres listed as irrigated areas are controlled by irrigation clocks? Approximately
52.7 acres of the improved acres are irrigated with in place irrigation control systems and clocks. Approximately 31 acres of the semi-improved category are irrigated with tree / shrub drip systems and / or tree / shrub drip systems with native grass in place lawn sprinklers.
3. How many acres of the 53.98 acres require manual watering with hoses? When the irrigation systems are working properly, no manual watering with hoses is generally required. If an irrigation system goes down, it is the responsibility of the contractor to provide temporary watering. The contractor may choose the type of temporary watering to be used as long as all PWS requirements are met. Hoses are one acceptable method for temporary watering. Winter or draught watering of trees and shrubs is required if the in place irrigation systems are not sufficient to keep the trees healthy.
4. How many shrubs are to be pruned in the 393.63 acres listed in the Work Load Data? The exact number of shrubs is unknown. Google Earth’s satellite view has a relatively accurate representation. You may also take part in a site visit to estimate or count as needed.

7. Are there any Government furnished fuel tanks available at the lay down area? No
8. If we are to provide our own fuel tanks then what are the requirements /specifications we need to comply with?
