1. Question: With regards to pricing Appendix K, some of the planting will require accounting for labor at Laborer and Heavy Equipment Operator Wage Determination rates. For example, there is a very significant hourly rate difference between Heavy Equipment Operator rates for the two Wage Determination areas. We are requesting that the Government provide two versions of Appendix K to reflect both Wage Determination areas and rates?

Answer: The offeror can submit separate appendix K for each wage determination if they wish but will need to identify which wage determination it is covering.

2. Question: Pertaining to the above solicitation for grounds maintenance at M-D-L, the revised Amendment 0002, CLIN 0002FA, McGuire Fertilization states 4 Each. Are you requesting that we price the 862 acres x 4 = 3,448 acres of Improved Turf @ McGuire be fertilized or a total of 862 acres to fertilize via 4 job orders? There is a huge price difference between fertilizing 862 acres versus 3,448 acres. Please clarify as this was a new change in the

CLINs.

Answer: The results of the soil testing, which is conducted 4 times a year, is the driver if pH adjustments and fertilizer applications are required in improved areas. The offeror will need to use their knowledge and experience of regional soil conditions to determine if pH adjustments and fertilizer are warranted and to what extent.

3. Question: Can we use the Offerors Representations and Certifications that we filled out on the original SF1449, or are we required to submit the Offerors Representations and

Certifications as contained within the Conformed (latest) version of the SF1449 published under

Amendment 002?

Answer: Need to use the conformed copy.
