SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following items are applicable to this modification:

AMENDMENT 0007

Contractor concern: we request that the requirement for sickle bar mowers either be deleted from the solicitation, or that the solicitation be modified to state that a company would be allowed a minimum of 90 days from date award to begin using these specialized mowers and that alternate mowers may be used until the sickle bar units can be ordered and delivered. An alternative to this would be to make award of the contract a minimum of 90 days prior to the beginning of the mowing season, to allow a new contractor to acquire the required equipment.

Government Response: In addition to the potential for spark from a rotary‐type mower, there are other reasons why sickle‐bar mowing equipment is required on the semi‐improved and un‐ improved grounds mowing. There is a higher potential for "scalping" on the edges of the cover‐ fill magazines by rotary‐type mowing equipment. This leads to erosion issues that reduce the cover‐fill required for these magazines. Also, due to the ditches, grades and uneven terrain throughout the installation, sickle‐bar mowing equipment has proven to be more functional than rotary‐type mowers to meet operational requirements.

Contractor shall have 90 days from contract award date to procure sickle-bar mowing equipment.

It is understood that the mowing start dates may be impacted due to the 90-day procurement period.
