31 July 2013
1. “1.1.4.2.3 There are two centralized computer irrigation control systems, a Rain Master and a Maxi-
Com. However the government does not guarantee the operability of the control systems nor does the government guarantee that all improved areas are covered by the control systems. The contractor shall be responsible for all “air time”
- How will the Government determine if bidders have the capability of operating the software associated with these control systems?
Answer: It is the contractor’s responsibility to be familiar with various irrigation control systems and their associated software, if required; the successful bidder will be responsible for obtaining any training needed to operate the systems.

Answer: Systems are provided “as-is”. They are contractor maintained.

Answer: The Grounds Maintenance contractor.

3. “1.1.8.2. Pre-Emergent. ………The contractor shall mix coloring agents with the pre-emergent prior to applications.”
This is an old industry standard and very unsightly even though photodegradable over time. Would the
Government consider allowing the use of more effective granular pre-Emergent in Vegetative, wood and rock mulch beds?
Answer: The Government would consider use of a granular pre-emergent if all of the authorized approvals are obtained. Contractor would be responsible for overall results of any products it uses in the performance of this contract. Refer to PWS Sections 1.1.8., 4.4., and 4.5 for further guidance.
4. As part of the GFE listing, the PWS states, “1.6. Building 3024 (Building to be shared with Funeral

Answer: Refer to Appendix A – Estimated Workload data, Section 3. If the annual estimated amount of sod is exceeded, the additional sod shall be paid per the prices in the exhibit.
