Inq. 06 Post Date: 04/02/2026 Inquiry Date: 04/02/2026
Q. **Contract Duration:** The Key Information Summary lists a 24-month term, Section 2.2 states the term is three years, and the bid price form references a 2-year period. Could you confirm the actual contract length and any renewal options?
A. Please refer to Addendum No. 1 posted on eMMA.
Inq. 07 Post Date: 04/02/2026 Inquiry Date: 04/02/2026
Q. **Site Measurements:** Section 2 indicates that the contractor is responsible for verifying all dimensions. May we schedule a site visit (or obtain detailed maps) to confirm the acreage, linear footage for edging, and the number of shrubs and trees to be trimmed?
A.You can use Google Maps to estimate the area size of a specific location with its "Measure distance" tool. This feature allows you to manually outline all turf mowing areas on the map and view their estimated size. If you need to schedule a site visit, the only available date is April 6th.
Inq. 08 Post Date: 04/02/2026 Inquiry Date: 04/02/2026
Q. **Materials Allowance:** The bid form includes a $2,000 “do-not-alter” line item for materials, and Inquiry 04 clarifies that this amount is fixed. If mulch, soil, or plant materials exceed the allowance, will the State consider reimbursing the overage through a change order?
A The $2,000 specified for materials in the bid form is designated for materials that the contractor may require throughout the contract duration. The agency will provide suitable compensation for any additional material needed.
Inq. 09 Post Date: 04/02/2026 Inquiry Date: 04/02/2026
Q. **Hourly Allocation:** While Inquiry 03 addresses compensation for additional hours if approved, it does not specify how hourly allocations are tracked across different tasks. Should we supply separate hourly rates for mowing, weed control/herbicide applications, and pruning, or is a single blended hourly rate acceptable?
A.Please provide a rate for completing one cycle of turf mowing, edging, and trimming. Once you have that rate, multiply the cycle by 32. If additional cycles are needed, the agency will provide appropriate compensation. An hourly rate for weed control, herbicide applications, pruning, and other related services will be conducted as needed.
