Grounds Maintenance

Amendment #2

Questions & Answers (11 February 2016)

Question 1: Will there be any areas that require a standard zero turn mower such as slopes, ditches or areas with objects too close that batwings can’t navigate?

Answer: There are slopes and ditches indicated on the map. The Government does not have a prescribed method of execution.

Question 2: Are there any rules regulating the size of batwings or tractors as long as the turf is not damaged due to the weight?

Answer: There are no restrictions as to size of the equipment used stated in the PWS.

Damage to the turf shall not occur. Bear in mind that it is possible that the equipment may have to traverse standard roadways safely.

Question 3: Once a zone is cut what is the acceptable timeframe for the roadways to be blown off; immediately or before the workday is concluded?

Answer: If cutting area is adjacent to flying operations it will be cleaned immediately upon completion of that section. Roadways shall be cleaned by the end of the day.

Question 4: Are there any notable differences in this contract compared to the previous contract?

Answer: Yes, there are significant differences. The previous contract included both improved and semi-improved grounds. Also, the previous contract included CLINS for tree removal, application of pesticides and herbicides as well as other requirements that are no longer included. This solicitation includes the monthly maintenance of the ditches identified. The differences identified in this response are not all inclusive, but only provided to show there are significant changes. The previous contract was FA4625-11-C-0001.

Question 5: Parking areas for equipment are shown to be provided. Are those areas able to be used for additional equipment other than tractors such as side by side ATVs (All-Terrain

Vehicles), mowers, fuel wagons, etc.?

Answer: These parking areas are for your mowing tractors only so they do not have to be relocated to a central spot at the end of each day. The rest of your equipment should be mobile or trailered.
