Questions and Answers:
Below is a compilation of the questions received for this bid. Questions that were repeated, or of a recurring nature, were consolidated. Thank you very much for your interest.
1. Question: When do we perform lawn seeding? Should it be included in our bid price?
Answer: Lawn seeding should be performed only during spring/fall clean ups. Lawn seeding is not required during regular maintenance over the course of the season. If it is requested by a site and approved by OPWDD, it will be paid off contract.
2. Question: If there is any snowplow/winter damage, will it be the snowplow contractor’s responsibility?
Answer: Yes. The snow removal contractor is responsible for damage caused by snow removal activities.
Correction of conditions from snow vendors is not an expectation of this contract. Any work outside and above this scope of work, if given to the contractor, is to be approved by OPWDD and paid off-contract.
3. Question: Is bagging of grass clippings required for this contract?
Answer: No. Bagging of grass clippings is not required, but grass clippings must be removed. Please see IFB WN 070924, Scope of Work, pg. 20, section II. Services Required, Part B. Lawn Maintenance for full details.
